102 - Ecological Bin Packing

[minskcity]

I guess you did not try "1000000000 1000000000 1 1 1 1 1 1 1".......

[minskcity]

At the moment I use fread/printf; my time is 0.050s with 0.010 - input, 0.030 - parsing, 0.010 - output. I'm going to try read/write now...

Is handle 0 - reading, 1 - writing?

[Ivan Golubev]

Is handle 0 - reading, 1 - writing?

Yeah.

However I think that fread() & read works very similar. So pay attention to your printf() and parsing (well, computing also ).

According to Valladolid Online Judge there are no file "io.h". What did you include to use read() ?

Here are the compiler error messages:

00862896_24.c:5: io.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio

According to Valladolid Online Judge there are no file "io.h". What did you include to use read() ?

Nothing. If you're using C it's not necessary to use #include. If you're using C++ define read by your own like:

int read(int, void *, unsigned int);
(or extern int read(int, void *, unsigned int); I'm never submitted solutions in C++.)

The function's code will be successfully linked to your program.

Blast it Ivan, I see you managed to regain your throne on 495. Superb... it only seems that some are trying to do it when I have no time.

btw, you seem have used asm, what was your best pure C time? Just out of curiosity. Mine's the one you had to beat.

to other people: actually it takes much more than simple IO. You must have a very good handle on many different aspects of optimization. But that's a trade secret If you're really interested and have a good imagination you'll soon find out. All you have to do is learn it yourself. It took me more than half a year to get the current time on 102.

P.S I'll get back to you as soon as my tests are over.

btw, you seem have used asm, what was your best pure C time? Just out of curiosity. Mine's the one you had to beat.

My best time with pure C was 0.150. And then I've switched into asm because GCC isn't my favorite compiler. It really limiting when trying to optimise something, I'm preferring to write code by my own than fighting with (dumb!) compiler

[Ivor]

Youre wrong C compiler is a very powerful thing. If you know how to use it, you can get the same results as with asm.
btw. I just equaled you on 495. I'll see if I can beat you.

Ivor
P.S Do you have any other ways of communicating than this board?

[Caesum]

is inline asm in gas format for their compiler or intel ?

ie:
is it
mov eax,ebx
or
mov %ebx,%eax
??

presumably its gas since some people have mentioned gcc

[Ivan Golubev]

is inline asm in gas format for their compiler or intel ?

Yes, it's in gas format (and I don't like it much).

I guess you did not try "1000000000 1000000000 1 1 1 1 1 1 1".......

The answer of my program is

BCG 1000000005

Is any bug in it ?

[minskcity]

It printed

"BCG 1e+09"

in Borland C++ 5.02

[Fresh]

Try this, it may help:

[cpp]
#include <stdio.h>
....
....
printf("%s%1.0f\n",c,min);
[/cpp]

Is this mean that the Online Judge support ASM beside C/C++, Jave and Pascal? If yes, how to submit the solution or any trick to do this?

But that's a trade secret If you're really interested and have a good imagination you'll soon find out. All you have to do is learn it yourself.

Learning always need teachers but what will be happen if all teachers take their knowledge as 'trade secret'?

You can include assembler code inside programs in other languages. I've never done it, but it probably looks sth like this:

int c_function ( int n ) {
begin asm;
assembler code here
end asm;
}

The syntax is probably completely wrong, but I guess the idea is clear.

About that secrets/teachers thing: I agree, sharing knowledge and helping others is a good thing. I don't think asked for help in even a quarter of my posts. And after all, I guess not many of us are a new Ramanujan (you know, that math genius who basically invented all for himself and invented amazing new stuff): http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~his ... nujan.html
