847 - A Multiplication Game

[helloneo]

Try this input..

Code: Select all

100
200
300
400
500
600
700
800
900
1000

My output

Code: Select all

Stan wins.
Ollie wins.
Ollie wins.
Stan wins.
Stan wins.
Stan wins.
Stan wins.
Stan wins.
Stan wins.
Stan wins.

By the way, you can also change the title to what sohel suggested ..

why 13123 makes Stan the winner?

My AC program makes Ollie the winner for 13123. In fact, I'd like to know very much your strategy to make Stan win. Wanna play a game of multiplication with n=13123? I will play Ollie, anyone volunteer to play Stan?

My AC program makes Stan the winner for 13123.

Perhaps judge's I/O is not strong?

[vinicius_jssouza]

Please, anybody tell me what's wrong with my approach?

Code: Select all

#include<iostream>

#define stan  true
#define ollie false

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	long long n;
	while (!feof(stdin) && cin >> n)
	{
		bool jogada = stan;
		long long p = 1;

		if (n <= 9) 
		{
			cout << "Stan wins.\n";
			continue;
		}		
		for (; true; jogada = !jogada)
		{
			long long mult = 9;
			while (p * mult * 9 >= n && mult > 1)
				mult--;
			if (mult < 2) break;
			p *= mult;
		}
		if (jogada == stan)
			cout << "Ollie wins.\n";
 		else
			cout << "Stan wins.\n";
	}
	return 0;
}

This problem definitely has weak judge input. I accidentally read "2 OR 9" instead of "2 TO 9" and still got AC. My program should give the wrong output in roughly 25% of cases! (For example, my program claims that Ollie wins from 37 to 72, and that Stan wins from 325 to 648, etc.)

Why I received runtime error.Remember to always terminate your code with the exit code 0.

Code: Select all

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

unsigned int n;

char w[33][23][15][13];

char getwin( int two,int three,int five,int seven ){
if ( w[two][three][five][seven] != -1 )
return w[two][three][five][seven];


long double x=1.0;

x*=pow( 2.0, two );
x*=pow( 3.0, three );
x*=pow( 5.0, five );
x*=pow( 7.0, seven );

if ( x+0.00000001 >= (long double)n ) return 0;


int k=0;
k+=!getwin(two+1,three,five,seven);
k+=!getwin(two,three+1,five,seven);
k+=!getwin(two+2,three,five,seven);
k+=!getwin(two,three,five+1,seven);
k+=!getwin(two+1,three+1,five,seven);
k+=!getwin(two,three,five,seven+1);
k+=!getwin(two+3,three,five,seven);
k+=!getwin(two,three+2,five,seven);

return w[two][three][five][seven]= k>0;
}

int main() {
FILE *in=fopen( "mult.txt", "r" );
int i,j,k;

while ( 1==fscanf( in, "%u", &n ) ){
memset( w, -1, sizeof(w) );
if ( getwin(0,0,0,0) )
printf( "Stan wins\n" );
else
printf( "Ollie wins\n" );
}
cin.get();
return 0;
}

This is for problem 847
i am getting a incorrect answer from the judge
any ideas?
thanks in advance

@ eric :
i know where is your mistake.

1. you should delete this line :

Code: Select all

if (n>55009980288) cout << "Ollie Wins." <<endl; else

2. The word 'Wins' in 'Stan Wins' and 'Ollie Wins' its should change to 'Stan wins' and 'Ollie wins'..

[AhmadKhatar]

Hi!
Could anybody tell me the reason why the following works:
If n <= 9, Stan wins
Else If n <= 9*2 Ollie wins
Else If n <= 9*2*9 Stan wins
Else If n <= 9*2*9*2, Ollie wins
...etc...
Thanks in advance!

[hello]

I really don't understand the problem. What is the real gameplan of stan to select the number at first.The statement says

assume that both of them play perfectly

I think this might be the key. But I also don't understand the meaning of it.

[brianfry713]

hello, there is a strategy for the winner to follow that no matter what numbers his opponent chooses he will always win.

[hello]

Then why Ollie always call 2 in the second ? @brianfry713

[brianfry713]

Ollie doesn't always multiply by 2 in the second round. For example if n = 15 then no matter what number Stan multiplies by if Ollie multiplies by 8 he will win.
