Well, you add all neutral values to only one total, maybe any time you update sequences you should add neutrals to it and reset it to 0 (or something like that).

It is exactly why it fails on those two cases.

And - please don't create new thread if one already exists.

7 6 6 6 6 7 3 2 1 2 0


concernig this input my accepted program gives me a different answer than yours . (it really confused me)

my output

Code: Select all

Nr values = 10:  1.000000 3.500000
we disagree in the down ration you say it is 7 and i say it is 3.50

7->6 (count down)
6->6 (count down)
6->6 (countdown)
6->6 (count down) (count sequence down)
6->7(count up) (count seq up)
7->3(count down)
3->2 (count down)
2->1(count down)(count seq down)
1->2(count up) (count seq up)

so u have 7 down numbers in form of two sequence and so u got 3.500


am i correct?

How can the answer to the 4th test case:
2 2 2 2 3 0
possibly be:
Nr values = 5: 4.000000 0.000000

Since there are 4 2's followed by a three, I see 5 "up" series of length 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
So, given that there are 5, shouldn't the average length be 3??

Since so many have gotten this one, and no one is complaining about the sample IO, I assume it's right.
I must be understanding this wrong then.

Can someone please explain the correct way to think about this?

Thanks!
