10055 - Hashmat the Brave Warrior

[HenryGale]

Same thing happened to me, so I had to substitute Scanner by a more efficient input method.
Also you may find this discussion interesting and useful. (Warning! It does contain multiple solutions to the 10055 problem.)

Why i getting time limit exceeded??? i use integer,,long,,long long all data types....
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
long long a,b,c;
for(;;)
{
scanf("%lld %lld",&a,&b);

if(a<b)
{ c=b-a;
printf("%lld\n",c);
}
if(a>b)
{ c=a-b;
printf("%lld\n",a-b);
}


}
return 0;

}

You don't have an exit condition. The loop will run forever waiting on more input from scanf.

Why does this simply problem take 2.2s in java and take only 0.06s in ANSI C? I don't understand..

Code: Select all

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
		long a, b;

		while (in.hasNextLong()) {
			a = in.nextLong();
			b = in.nextLong();
			if (b > a)
				System.out.println(b-a);
			else
				System.out.println(a-b);
		}
	}
}

JAVA is slower than C.

[cse.mehedi]

use Scanner cin = new Scanner(System.in);
you will get AC.

Hey guys, I'm receiving a "Wrong Answer" when I submit, but the program is running just fine in Code Blocks (WinXP). I can even input 2^32 (4294967296) and everything still works. Could someone please help?

Code: Select all

accepted;

ps: just use "long long".

[brianfry713]

Use long long.

[renatov]

Use long long.

I changed to long long and it doesn't work either, although it works perfectly in my computer. Could somebody help me, please? Here is the code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    long long int lldMenor;
    long long int lldMaior;

    while( scanf("%lld %lld", &lldMenor, &lldMaior) != EOF )
        printf("%lld\n", lldMaior - lldMenor);

    return 0;
}

[brianfry713]

Print the absolute value of the difference.

[renatov]

It's working now, thanks!


ps: %lld didn't work on Windows (I had to use %I64d to test), but it worked for UVA's gcc.

what's wrong with my code? i got WA with this

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	long long int h,e;
	while(!EOF)
	{
		scanf("%lld %lld",&h,&e);
		if(h<e)
			printf("%lld\n",e-h);
		else
			printf("%lld\n",h-e);
	}
	return 0;
}

[brianfry713]

Your code doesn't print anything.

Instead try something like:
while(scanf("%lld %lld",&h,&e) == 2) {

[Scorvus]

what this line do?

while(scanf("%lld %lld",&h,&e) == 2) {

i'm sorry, i'm new with this thing.

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/EOF/
Your code:
while(!EOF)
Never enters that loop because it evaluates to:
while(!-1) or while(0)

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/scanf/
On success, scanf returns the number of items of the argument list successfully filled. So this code:
while(scanf("%lld %lld",&h,&e) == 2) {
Will continue reading h and e until the end of the input.
