This testcase:
The output should be:
598: Bundling eccentric newspapers

CUHK made 598 an assignment problem and implemented their own online judge, which accepts some programmes UVa rejects and rejects some UVa accepts. Moreover, my friend Mr. Guang
discovered that UVa takes the lines containing "*" or 1-2 numbers to be exactly 9 characters long (10 if passed through fgets) and anything after that, with or without a line-feed occurring, is considered the first newspaper title. He illustrated his finding in reply to his own post. Confirmation or evidence to the contrary is appreciated.
My code got accepted at last without compromising to the 9-char limit. Another issue: the online judge reported WA previously but all I did was printing one extra linefeed at the end.

Thnx Jackie for his necessary post...
[cpp] scanf("%d", &n);
gets(tmp), gets(tmp);
for (NULL; n--; NULL)
{
gets(tmp);
c = sscanf(tmp, "%d%d", &a, &b);
t = 0;
for (NULL; gets(buf[t]) && buf[t][0]; ++t)
;
if (c == 0)
display(1, t);
else if (c == 1)
display(a, a);
else
display(a, b);
if (n)
printf("\n");
}[/cpp]
I was getting WA.Because I was doing
Code: Select all
scanf("%d",&n);
gets(tmp);
while(n--)
{
gets(tmp);
gets(tmp);
i=0;
while(gets(buf[i])&&buf[i])
i++;
if(str[0]=='*')
{s=1;e=i;}
else if(str[1]=='\0')
{s=atol(tmp);e=s;}
else
{ssacnf(tmp,"%d%d",&s,&e);}
if(flag)
printf("\n");
flag=1;
for(size=s;size<=e;size++)
{
display_output();
printf("\n");
}
}
But this code was giving me WA.When I transformed input parsing system to like jackie's code,i got acc.Plz can anyone make me understand how differs my approach from jackie's one?

you are not using this tag (NULL; n--; NULL)

Getting WA in this problem. No idea why!
Code link:
Code removed after AC
Made silly mistakes
a b means show all subset sizes from a to b, inclusive
Tested nearly all cases available. Plz help.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I don't know why I get WA.
Does anybody know the bug?
Thanks in advance!

Here is my code:
Code: Select all
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int m;
string names [ 12 ];
int cnt;
char query [ 63 ];
void process();
void backtrack( int stInd, int rem, string output );
int main()
{
char tLine [ 63 ];
cin >> m;
cin.ignore();
cin.ignore();
for ( int i = 0; i < m; i++ )
{
cnt = 0; // refresh
cin.getline( query, 63, '\n' );
cin.getline( tLine, 63, '\n' );
while ( tLine[ 0 ] != NULL )
{
names[ cnt++ ] = tLine;
cin.getline( tLine, 63, '\n' );
}
if ( i >= 1 )
{
cout << endl;
}
process();
}
return 0;
}
void process()
{
int st, end;
if ( query[ 0 ] == '*' )
{
st = 1;
end = cnt;
}
else
{
char * tokenPtr;
tokenPtr = strtok( query, " " );
st = atoi( tokenPtr );
tokenPtr = strtok( NULL, " " );
if ( tokenPtr == NULL )
{
end = st;
}
else
{
end = atoi( tokenPtr );
}
}
for ( int i = st; i <= end; i++ )
{
if ( i >= st + 1 )
{
cout << endl;
}
cout << "Size " << i << endl;
backtrack( 0, i, "" );
}
}
void backtrack( int stInd, int rem, string output )
{
string tOut;
for ( int i = stInd; i < cnt - (rem - 1); i++ )
{
tOut = output;
tOut += names[ i ];
if ( rem >= 2 )
{
tOut += ", ";
backtrack( i + 1, rem - 1, tOut );
}
else
{
cout << tOut << endl;
}
}
}

I don't know what wrong with My code. I've reviewed it several times. It's passed all the test cases so far. I'm getting WA if anyone can help me I would really appreciate.

Be careful with the output ( I got caught

):
- [1] Print a blank line AFTER each subset size group
[2] Print a blank line BETWEEN datasets
