hi everyone i am getting wrong answer for this question .
I have tried many times but everytime i got wrong answer my program is
working for all of the test cases given in the forum , can anybody tell me
where am i going wrong .
My logic is if V is divisible by 2*V0 then print the number V/(2*V0)
else find n = V/(2*V0) and then u will have to check for 2 values floor(n)
and floor(n)+1 and if the Max length is coming out to be same then print
0 otherwise print round(n).
here is the Code

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<math.h>
int main(void)
{
        int V,V0;
        double n,n1,L1,L2,x,z;
        while(1)
        {
                scanf("%d%d",&V,&V0);
                L1=0;L2=0;
                if(V==0 && V0==0) break;
                if((V%(2*V0))==0) printf("%d\n",V/(2*V0));
                else
                {
                        n  = (double)V/(2*(double)V0);
                        n1 = n;
                        n  = floor(n);
                        z = (double)V/(double)n ;
                        x = (double)V/(double)(n+1);
                        if(n!=0 && z>V0)
                        {
                                L1 = (n)*(0.3)*sqrt(z-(double)V0);
                        }
                        if(x>V0)
                        L2 = (n+1)*(0.3)*sqrt(x-V0);

                        if(L1==L2 || V==V0)printf("0\n");

                        else printf("%.lf\n",n1);
                }

        }
}
Thanks a lot

Actually, your solution is not working even for the second test case in the problem statement. (Small hint: never compare floats directly by a == b, because even small precision errors may lead to a different answer than you expect.)

I cant get any clue :-?

I got correct output for all the inputs posted in this thread ....still WA !! :cry:

would anyone check my code, please ?

Check the following part of your code:

Thanx a lot Martin Macko,
I finally got ACC.
It was just a mistake of a symbol but it made me so crazy and wasted a lot of my time . I think this has become a regular event for me. I think about a problem get the solution way and then code it but do not get ACC for some silly reasons.Anyway you were so helpful and so expert to find out the bug in my code . Thank u once again.

Why WA?

Post by sarah »

Can someone help me why I get WA for this problem?
I've checked all the test case here and my program outputs the correct numbers, but WA! :(
In my code, if Vt % (2*V0) is zero I output Vt / (2*V0) as n, and if it is not zero, I check which of n1=Vt/(2*V0) & n2=Vt/(2*V0) produces a bigger length, and output it. And if they are equal, I output zero. And whenever I find n, I check if (Vt/n)-V0>=0 . If it is negative I output 0 as n.
In order to see if the two lengths are equal or not, each time I get the leftmost digit of the two numbers and compare them. then I omit this leftmost digit and continue this procedure until the number becomes zero. But there is a problem that I dont know how many times should I continue this procedure. If you could suggest me a better way to compare two doubles, then it's so kind of you!
Here's my code:

Code: Select all

# include <iostream.h>
//# include <fstream>
# include <math.h>

//using namespace std;

void main()
{
  int vt,v0,i,j,r1,r2;
  double res1,res2,vf;
  int n,n1,n2;
  for (cin>>vt>>v0 ; vt || v0 ; cin>>vt>>v0)
  {
    if (vt<=v0)
      cout<<"0"<<endl;
    else
    {
    if ((vt)%(2*v0)==0)
    {
      n=vt/(2*v0);
      if (vt/n>=v0)
      {}
      else
        n=0;      
    }
    else
    {
      n1=vt/(2*v0);
      n2=n1+1;
      vf=vt;
      if (vt/n1>=v0)
        res1=0.3*n1*sqrt(vf/n1-v0);
      else
        res1=-1;
      if (vt/n2>=v0)
        res2=0.3*n2*sqrt(vf/n2-v0);
      else
        res2=-1;
      if (res1==-1 && res2==-1)
        n=0;
      else
      {
        for (i=0 ; ; i++)
          if (((int)(res1/pow(10,i)))==0)
            break;
        for (j=0 ; ; j++)
          if (((int)(res2/pow(10,j)))==0)
            break;
        if (i>j)
          n=n1;
        else

                if (r1>r2)
                {
                  n=n1;
                  break;

My code get the correct output for all the inputs here, bat get WA when I submit. What's wrong? Anyone can help me, please!

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int calculaMaiorTamanho(int volume1, int volume2);

int main(){

	}
	else{

Now, I get AC. But I didn't understand why... I just only changed the code

Code: Select all

      if (fabs(tamanho1 - tamanho2) < 0.0000000000000001){
            maiorQuantidadeAneis = 0;
      }
to the new code

Code: Select all

		if (fabs(tamanho1 - tamanho2) < 0.000000000001){
				maiorQuantidadeAneis = 0;
		}

and now got AC! Why this happened? I really don't understand the reason. Somebody could explain me?
Thank you.

double just does not have such a big precision, therefore you got a rounding error. Personaly, I am comparing doubles with error tolerance about 1e-9.

I've have used just 'int'

Code: Select all

n = vt / v0 / 2;
if ((vt * n - v0 * n * n) == (vt * (n + 1) - v0 * (n + 1) * (n + 1)))

Hi, I am getting WA though passing the test cases posted here. The way I do the question is similar.

Would anyone give me a hand to tell if there's anything wrong? Thanks a lot in advance.

Code: Select all

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

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	double vt, v0;
	double minn, d1, d2;
	int n1, n2;
	
	while(scanf("%lf%lf", &vt, &v0))
	{
		if(vt == 0 && v0 == 0) break;
		if(vt <= v0) 
		{
			printf("0\n");
			continue;
		}
		else if(fabs(v0-vt) < 0.000000001)
		{
			printf("0\n");
			continue;
		}
		
		minn = vt/2.0/v0;

		if(((double)fabs(minn - round(minn))) < 0.000000001)
		{
			n1 = round(minn);
			
			if(fabs(vt/n1 - v0) < 0.000000001)
			{
				printf("0\n");
			}
			else if(vt/n1 < v0)
			{
				printf("0\n");
			}
			else
			{
				printf("%d\n", n1);
			}
		}
		else
		{
			n1 = floor(minn);
			n2 = ceil(minn);

			if(n1 != 0)
			{
				if(fabs(vt/n1 - v0) < 0.000000001) n1 = 0;
				else if(vt/n1 < v0) n1 = 0;
			}
			
			if(fabs(vt/n2 - v0) < 0.000000001) n2 = 0;
			else if(vt/n2 < v0) n2 = 0;
			
			if(n1 == 0 && n2 == 0)
			{
				printf("0\n");
			}
			else if(n1 == 0)
			{
				printf("%d\n", n2);
			}
			else if(n2 == 0)
			{
				printf("%d\n", n1);
			}
			else
			{
				d1 = n1 * 0.3 * sqrt((vt/n1) - v0);
				d2 = n2 * 0.3 * sqrt((vt/n2) - v0);
				
				if(fabs(d1-d2) < 0.00000001)
				{
					printf("0\n");
				}
				else if(d1 < d2)
				{
					printf("%d\n", n2);
				}
				else
				{
					printf("%d\n", n1);
				}
			}
		}
	}
