i thought i did with

Code: Select all

Re: acm-591 prob

Post by Tarif »

I need a bit help in this. If the number of bricks in one line is more than 100, what would happen? Should we just ignore that input and go for the next one or we escape that set of inputs. please help!

Can any one plz help with the code?i donno whats wrong.
i'm stuck for a very very very long time with this problem.

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
int stack_height[50]={0};
int n,total_height,average_height,move,count=1,i;


while(scanf("%d",&n)==1)
{

if((n<1)||(n>50))
break;

move=0;
total_height=0;
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%d",&stack_height[i]);

if((stack_height[i]<1)||(stack_height[i]>100))
break;;

total_height+=stack_height[i];
}


if((total_height%n)!=0)
break;

average_height=total_height/n;

for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
if(stack_height[i]>average_height)
move+=(stack_height[i] - average_height);
}

printf("Set #%d\n",count);
printf("The minimun number of moves is %d.\n",move);

count++;
}
return 0;
}

Hi.
This is an easy problem.
But please be careful about its output standard.

Code: Select all

Output a blank line after each set. 
That's why you get WA.
You didn't put any blank line after them.

I have tested for you.
if this line

Code: Select all

cout<<"The minimum number of moves is "<<mov<<".\n";
changes to

Code: Select all

cout<<"The minimum number of moves is "<<mov<<".\n\n";
your code will be accepted.

So please remember to remove your code because it's nearly accepted.

BTW,"Raffan_033" also forgot to put a blank line after each case. However, after I add it for him/her, it still get WA.

Best regards.

Your code is OK. But you forgot to print a '.' in the output.
May be tomorrow is a better day............ :)

I got RE why? thanks everyone! :wink:

Code: Select all

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

int compare (const void * a, const void * b);

int compare (const void * a, const void * b)  //compara inteiros

  return ( *(int*)a - *(int*)b );
}

int main ()
{
  int i,j,k,temp;
  int quantidade = 0;
  int vetor[55];
  int quantum = 0;
  int cont = 0;
  int vezes = 0;
  
  while(scanf("%d",&quantidade)==1){                 //começa o while
  cont = 0;

  quantum = 0;
  for(j = 0;j<quantidade;j++){
  		
		  scanf("%d",&temp);

			}
  
  
  if(vetor[quantidade-1]== vetor[0]) break;      //se primeiro elemento = ultimo, entao acabou!
}															//terminda for semi-infinito
   vezes = vezes + 1;
   printf("Set #%d\nThe minimum number of moves is %d.\n",vezes,cont);
  
  
}													//termina o while que comanda o programa

When quantidade = 0 ..

Code: Select all

quantum = quantum/quantidade;      <------ divide by 0 ???

Hi!
Just got AC :)
Some tips:

Code: Select all

1. Find the average height:
total sum / number of towers
2. Sort the towers in asc order
(for C++ guys, use <algorithm> sort() with vector or array if you want to get it done quickly)
3. For each tower with height > average:
       moves += tower height - average
4. Print the moves as specified in the problem ( read carefully and output blank line after EACH set )
Wish you luck :)
