Rivaldo, you should load as many cars as possible.

I got WA many time. I checked my program using the data I found in http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~acm00/, and it was right.

Who can tell my program's bug? Thanks.

w : array[1 .. 210] of integer;

m,k,n : integer;

procedure init;
var j,s : integer;
begin
readln(k);
n := 0; s := 0;
readln(j); k := k * 100;
while j <> 0 do begin
inc(s, j);
if s <= k + k then begin

w[n] := j;
end;
readln(j);
end;
end;

Ok, I agree it is a knapsack problem, but I could not think in the right way to solve it... Can someone help me here?

I am some confusion about this problem:

it says that the length of car is between 100 and 3000, is that true? I think I am getting some Run time error because of some values of cars are > 3000 in the judge input.

Thanks

Hello.
I coded my solution but it gets WA.
Fortunately, I've got an accepted solution from somewhere.
So I wrote a program which solves the problem twice - once by my method and once by the accepted method - and prints the results of the accepted method.
I inserted into this program some code which generates a SIGFPE when the maximum numbers of the cars computed by the two methods are different.
It also generates the signal when my method produces an infeasible solution, where the total length of the cars on one side of the ferry(port or starboard) is greater than the length of the ferry.
I submitted this program.
It's accepted because it prints the results by the accepted method and it never results in a SIGFPE.
That means my method calculates the correct maximum number of the cars.
And the total length of the cars on each side is less than or equal to the length of the ferry.
But strangely, my own program gets WAs. I wonder if the judge program is not flexible enough to check correctly?
Please give me some ideas..

Could someone leak a hint for this problem(and I plead for more than that it's a knap-sack like problem)? I've been trying and leaving this problem for no less than a year now(shame, but true...). Thanks...

Hi,
When i solved the problem with dp, got ac in ~0.2,
then switched to exhaustive search (without sophisticated pruning)
and got better time. So the judge's data is weak enough to try this way...

Posted: **Tue Jan 11, 2005 1:33 am**

Exhaustive search.....???!!! The input is definitely weak then, as with the given constraints, I believe one could have 100 cars in the queue, and 2^100 is not something to play with..

I still wish somebody would advise how DP would be used here...Like I mentioned before, I tried for a year now...

Anyways, thanks mr Csaba...

Finally got the DP solution...1 less problem to solve in life...!!!

Posted: **Sun Jan 30, 2005 8:44 am**

is there any greedy solution to the problem. I see some zero memory and time solutions

Posted: **Thu May 19, 2005 2:09 pm**

I have beein trying this one.
I found out that:

read a new car
- if i cant add any previous cars, dont try this one
- i can either add the car to the left or to the right, so try it by doing:
for(i=tam;i>=0;i--) if this position is checked THEN
if i can add it at position i (which means to the left), i try doing so
if i can not add it to the right, uncheck this position
if i unchecked all positions and did not check any one i was not able to add this car.... time to stop trying

The code follows, any tips? (ps: wrong answer)

Code: Select all

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

Is this answer to the sample input correct?

Code: Select all

6
port
starboard
port
port
starboard
starboard

I think it is, but how would the special judge test that?

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2005 10:10 am**

Subject to this constraint as many cars should be loaded as possible, starting with the first car in the queue and loading cars in order until no more can be loaded.

This means you're not allowed to skip cars when loading. Your answer would give a total length of 52m on starboard.
