Try to implement this in your program:

1. Hyphens can be anywere.
2. The ISBN cannot be less than 10 symbols long (of course, excluding hyphens) but can be more than 10 symbols.
3. There can be leading/trailing spaces and tabs.
4. There can be only one 'X' and it can be only at last position in the ISBN (so, there can be hyphens after 'X').

If you still get wrong answer then i will give you some inputs.

No way.
:lol:
an ISBN has EXACTLY ten "digits" (including the checking character in the end). So check it carefully. :P

0-123-4567-890
1-111-111-111
output:

Code: Select all

This   just    for test. is incorrect.
0-1000-99999 is incorrect.

Ok i got it accepted!!!

The problem was those dam blank lines......
People deal with those blank like as if they were normal input, that will lead you to the right answer.

333-Always WA

Post by b3yours3lf »

I have passed all test case in previous post, but I still got WA, what wrong with my code??
[c]
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

main()
{
char temp[81],ISBN[81],digit[81];
int s1[20],s2[20];
int correct,count,i,j;
#ifndef ONLINE_JUDGE
freopen("333.in","r",stdin);
freopen("333.out","w",stdout);
#endif
while(gets(temp))
{
if(strlen(temp)==0) { printf("is incorrect\n"); continue; }
correct=0;
i=0;
while(temp==' ') i++;
for(j=0;temp!='\0';i++,j++)
ISBN[j]=temp;
ISBN[j]='\0';
j--;
while(ISBN[j]==' ') j--;
ISBN[++j]='\0';
count=0;
for(i=0;ISBN!='\0';i++)
{
if(ISBN>='0' && ISBN<='9' || ISBN=='X')
{
digit[count]=ISBN;
count++;
}
}

/* check the correctness of 10 digit ISBN */
if(count==10)
{
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
if(ISBN=='X') goto cetak;

for(i=0;i<9;i++)
digit=digit[i]-'0';
if(digit[9]=='X') digit[9]=10;
else digit[9]=digit[9]-'0';
digit[10]='\0';

s1[0]=digit[0];
for(i=1;i<count;i++)
s1[i]=s1[i-1]+digit[i];

s2[0]=s1[0];
for(i=1;i<count;i++)
s2[i]=s2[i-1]+s1[i];
if(s2[count-1]%11==0) correct=1;
}

cetak:
if(correct==1) printf("%s is correct.\n",ISBN);
else printf("%s is incorrect\n",ISBN);
}
return 0;
}[/c]

Just taking a really quick glance, and the first thing that caught my eye is that blank lines (where you have strlen == 0) need output like so:
(space)is incorrect

X is a valid character only if count=9, and your second mistake is if there are invalid ISBN you must print like this :

Code: Select all

printf(" is incorrect.\n");
try this :
input :

Code: Select all

XX-0000000000-XX
XX000000XXX0000XXXXX
1234567890
output :

Code: Select all

XX-0000000000-XX is correct.
XX000000XXX0000XXXXX is correct.
1234567890 is incorrect.
bye... :)
