by using character array. u can get RTE with the signal of

-- invalid memory reference
instead of it u can use %c for taking input
character by character
check '#' & print the output.

hope it helps.

My program doesn't handle newlines after last block of input. But got AC

There are extra lines after the last # line, as the following program reaches the time limit.

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string s;
    while (getline(cin, s));
    if (s[0] != '#')
        for (;;);
}

I really struggled with this for a couple hours and I'd like to share what I found so perhaps you don't have to.

Since I was reading the input line-by-line and was doing the parsing using C-style strings, I was employing the following piece of code to read lines

Code: Select all

while(scanf("%[^\n]%*c", inputStr) != EOF) {
    // Do stuff
}

Note that "inputStr" is a C-style string.

However, the extra newlines after the last "#" was causing the program to go into an infinite loop. I then tried the following

Code: Select all

while(gets(inputStr)) {
    // Do stuff
}

And this caused the program to seg fault.

Finally, after trial and error, I came up with these lines of code that worked. Note that "aLine" is an std string.

Code: Select all

while(getline(cin, aLine)) {	
    
    // If there's a newline, exit
    if(aLine == "") {
        break;
    }

    // Convert the std string to a C-style string
    strcpy(inputStr, aLine.c_str());

    // Do stuff
}

Here's some input / output I found useful during testing / debugging. Note that there are extra newlines at the end (just like on the judge's input). So be sure to include them when you're testing.

Thanks to jan_holmes for their excellent test case.

Also, bear in mind that there's a newline after every set of output - even the last set.

No newlines at the end - I think...
