The only difference is in the ties, which I just checked for and they do not appear in the judge's input. I don't do any special handling for ties, and I use the c++ STL sort() on a vector.

Your other input also fails my tie check, as both 000 and 0000 are converted by my code to ZERO, but here is my AC output if I remove my assert() for ties:

Code: Select all

0001                                                   123 4567

0000                                                   123 4567

Thanks Brian. My problem was handling the "0" inputs. Got AC now.

I was certain that the test data was improperly formatted on this one.
SURPRISE, it's not!

When you expand the numbers to text, don't use any 'ands' between the numbers.
So, 101 is ONE HUNDRED ONE, and NOT ONE HUNDRED AND ONE

And even though the number to text expansion seems easy, I had to write a bunch of unit tests.
I had a set of tests for numbers of each length from 1 to 9 digits.
I caught 5 or 6 bugs that way.

And now...it's miller time
