10028 - Demerit Points

[Even]

what's wrong? ... I just can't understand...

is it judge wrong?? help ... @@

[little joey]

Don't assume the input description is correct, it'll get you WA. The guy who concatenated the input cases from the original contest to make it a multi input problem probably left out or inserted one or more newline(s). I don't know which.[/code]

[forthright48]

Finally AC! Here are some test cases to make things clearer:

Code: Select all

Input:

12360101 2

Output:

1236-01-01 1 merit point(s).
1236-01-01 No merit or demerit points.

I'm getting WA for this, is there anyone who might be able to provide some critical test data?

Also, my output is different from the one that forthright48 posted for the second test case. Can anyone verify?

[pandamonium]

I also ACed the problem and forthright48's output shouldn't be correct because the problem states "A merit point is given, to a maximum of five" unlike the given output which has 10 merit points awarded. I think the output should be as follows.

Input:

Code: Select all

[forthright48]

I guess the judge data is weak then. I too limited merits to maximum of 5. Then I got lots of WA and so started to try out different things. Later I found bugs and fixed them. By the time I was finished my code no longer restricted merits to max of 5.

[dibery]

I tried some cases and the result seemed reasonable.
I also checked the data in this thread but still couldn't find the errors.
Can someone please help me out?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Code: Select all

Accepted.

For the sample input you're printing a space at the end of the first line.

[dibery]

Thanks, brianfry, but I still got a wrong answer for that.

Thanks, brianfry.
Your advice was so helpful and I found other mistakes in my code.

Here's a test for someone may encounter the same problem with me.
