Really? I think you didn't - your program doesn't correctly read input with multiple cases (read the description of input format again, and pay attention to last sentence there), so it couldn't possible pass e.g. test cases posted above by Sedefcho.

after adding this line to my code:

Code: Select all

if(n>0)getchar();
I still got wA. While i checked the test cases above & they are all right. :oops:

Your variable 'found' can be used uninitialized on line 38.

g++ can detect and warn you automatically about such errors - always compile with g++ -Wall -W.

Any way i edited my code like this but still got wA.

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<ctype.h>

int main()
{
	bool found=1;
	int i,n,root,len,j,k;
	char st[81];
	scanf("%d",&n);
	getchar();getchar();
	while(n--)
	{
		gets(st);
		len = strlen(st);
		root = len/2;
		found = 1;
		for(i=1;i<=root;i++)
		{
			if(len%i==0)
			{
				found=1;
				for(j=i;j<len;j+=i)
				{
					for(k=0;k<i;k++)
					{
						if(st[k] != st[j+k])
						{
							found = 0;
							break;
						}
					}
					if(!found)break;
				}
			}
			if(found){printf("%d\n",i);break;}
		}
		if(found==0)printf("%d\n",len);
		if(n>0)puts("");
		if(n>0)getchar();
	}
	return 0;
}
I didn't have g++. could you give me a link to download the software.

Now your code doesn't work for strings of length 1.
I didn't have g++. could you give me a link to download the software.
Google mingw or cygwin - these are two ports of gcc to windows.

But probably your current compiler too can warn you about uninitialized variables and other errors - look in its help. And there's also this great static code analysis tool - splint, which can detect even more errors.

    scanf("%d%*c", &n);
    while (n--)
    {
        gets(buf);
        scanf("%s%*c", str);
        len = strlen(str);
        for (i=1; i<=len; i++)
        {
            flag = 1;
            if (len%i==0)
            {

I like editing with xemacs, you can hit tab on a line to fix the indentation, which it also helps you with as you code.

As Scape pointed out, try reading input without depending on the line formatting being correct.

Two consecutive output are separated by a blank line. Don't print a blank line at the end.
