During the contest i spend 4 hours with this problem. I had a little error in the mod calculating part, but the funny thing is, that after i corrected, i still got WA. My last minute attemp was to change all the variables from long double to double. Curiously, i got accepted. Afterwards i checked if you just had to change the variables, and in the OJ i got WA with long double again when my code with double got AC. Should there be a little rejudging? I think it is unfair, since my results should theoretically be more precise!

If anyone wants my code, i can submit it via email

i mean, ill send it for viewing this issue, not for helping others to get WA. If you need help on this problem, ask for it and i will answer!

This problem had a special judge but may be it was not used by mistake.

How to solve this problem , I use brute search ,and get TLE.

I had the same problem during the contest.
If i use long double -> WA
but if it is only double -> AC.
And for me this is very strange.

Could you tell me how to sovle this problem?
I get TLE.

You have to use DP. Think about how you can use it!

I thought this was trivial DP, but maybe my precision is off somewhere.. I've tried double and long double but neither worked.. does anyone have any test cases? =)

This problem is easy, but it's also easy to make some silly mistakes (it took me over 30 minutes to figure all signs out, like when to add and when to subtract). I have AC with doubles, but not with long doubles. Some small cases:

Code: Select all

10
0 0.1
1 0.9
2 0
3 0
4 0
5 0
6 0
7 0
8 0
9 0
9
* 0
* 1
*0 10
*0 0
*4 7
*1 0
*** 1
*** 0
************************************************** 0
0

Output:

Code: Select all

Why do you need to subtract?

Modulo. Some digit positions contribute with negative signs towards the sum modulo 11, and some with positive. It would be much easier if I reversed the pattern first, but I was stubborn and parsed it from left to right

Well, you can use the other way of checking of a number is divisible by 11... though you can easily just DP the other way.

In any case, my output matches yours.. so maybe it's a harder case somewhere.. =/

Nevermind, I've been making tons of silly mistakes lately.. if anyone's curious, my mistake was I had a < instead of <= in a loop somewhere.. sigh.
