329 - PostScript Emulation

[Astrakan]

Hi!

I have trouble getting my solution to 329 accepted, even though I have used a PostScript viewer to see that the output of my program gives the same drawing as the input.

It would be great if someone could check the sample in/out I have provided below and see if the output is correct.

Input:

Code: Select all

100 100 translate
10.5 23 moveto
11 rotate
34 45 rlineto
1.1 -2.2 scale
10 10 rmoveto
3.3 6.6 translate
33.6 2.5 lineto
-77.7 rotate
30 22.2 rmoveto
0.4 -0.3 scale
4 rotate
40 40 rlineto
*

My output:

Code: Select all

110.500000 123.000000 moveto
24.788919 50.660729 rlineto
14.995697 -19.496899 rmoveto
143.664243 88.092761 lineto
20.002864 58.980977 rmoveto
-17.331488 35.252458 rlineto

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I'm thinking the input/output of problem 329 is wrong, cause there's just 2 accepted solutions, and my solution (with matrix) is getting WA, and it is ok for the original data set, from North American Regionals in 1993.

Can anyone answer if it really is wrong? Is there a Valladolid administrator in the board?

Thanks,

JP!

I guess, you should mail Carlos - problemset@acm.uva.es

Hi!

I've talked with Carlos via email/MSN and we were almost done fixing the problem with the input/output of this problem.

At first, he really agreeded that his solutions was wrong and proposed a correct solution for the problem, and convinced me that my solution was wrong.

I was really frustated, cause I thought my solution was ok, but changed my program and got AC with his help.

But I really think my original solution is the one that is correct, cause I've added some commands in the input/output of his solution to see the images generated in a PostScript viewer, and they differ!!! My solution's output generates the same drawing as the input, while his solution output generates a different drawing.

Trying to contact him by email/MSN again, I had no answer.

He told me that he was rejudging some solutions and some people is getting AC, but if my solution is correct, then I think these AC's will be rejudged to WA again

I'm posting this message here with the hope that responsble administrators read it and solve this problem definitely.

Bellow are the input/output he sent me telling the output is correct:

And here is my output:

579.191 26.0569 rlineto
-34.8231 -574.393 rlineto
551.176 40.7084 rlineto

If you have a PostScript viewer, add the following lines to the beginning of the file:

Code: Select all

newpath
0 setlinewidth

And these to the end:

Code: Select all

stroke
showpage

Remember to delete the * in the end of the input....

To see the results and comprove my output is the same drawing as the input, and his output is different.

Hi!

I finally talked to Carlos and we corrected the output of the judge, and he is rejudging the submissions right now.

I hope people can get AC now. I got

PS: He is still trying to make his solution work as good as mine (just kidding Carlos).

JP!

[anupam]

yes, your outputs are ok.

[anupam]

I think he corrector is ok now..
