11151 - Longest Palindrome

[Darko]

I'm not a C programmer, but I would imagine that mixing scanf() and gets() in the same code can just lead to a trouble. In Java I have two different routines for reading input - one reads it line by line (and I have to parse a line if I want a number of test cases, for example) and the other one behaves like scanf. I never use both at the same time.

But, I agree that the first case should not be an empty string, I think that it is a plus to know what scanf() does exactly, but it shouldn't be a part of the problem. Especially because judge uses an outdated compiler.

Here's how I took care of input (in C++).

Code: Select all

        int T;
	cin>>T	
	cin.getline(S,MAX,'\n');
	//This is just to get the rest of the line after T

        while(T--)
	{
		cin.getline(S, MAX, '\n');
		.......
	}
	

I originally got a wrong answer with cin>>S, but all problems disappeared after I recoded it using cin.getline. Hope this helps.

I usually avoid scanf or cin altogether for these cases.

Code: Select all

  char str[10000];
  gets(str);
  sscanf(str, "%d", &n);
  while(n--) {
     gets(str);
     process()
  }

This is how I do it.

hi,i'm still got WA...this is what i used at my code :

LCDlength -> Longest Common Sequence procedure..

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX 1001
char X[MAX],Y[MAX];
int i,j,m,n,c[MAX][MAX],b[MAX][MAX];

void main() {
	freopen("lp.in","r",stdin);
	freopen("lp.out","w",stdout);
	int n;
	scanf("%d\n",&n);
	int i=0;
	while(i<n){
		gets(X);
		int j =0;
		int byk = strlen(X);
		int awal = byk-1;
		while(awal>=0){
			Y[j] = X[awal];
			j++;awal--;
		}
		Y[j]='\0';
		printf("%d\n",LCSlength());
		i++;
	}
}

thanks.

thanks.

Read previous posts, and take input carefully.

thanks...i got accepted...

thanks...i got accepted...

Now remove your code please.

hi everybody i m trying to solve this problem but getting WA many times ...i m really frustrated ..plz help me..

my algorithm is i m trying to enumarate all the n*(n+1)/2 substrings ,where n is string size
and checking which one is palindrome ....in another post of this problem the output of string qweqweqwedadqweqweqwe is given 13 but my program gives 3 and substring is dad ...can some one explain me how is it 13 .....plz tell me my algorithm is correct or not


here is my code

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
 int chkpalin(char* a,int k,int n)
	{
		int w;
		for(w=k;w<=n;w++)
		 if(a[w]!=a[n+k-w])
			return(0);
		
		return(1);
	}
	main()
	 {

		  char str[1010],c;
		  int i,j,k,n,w,v;
			
		 scanf("%d",&k);
		 getchar();
		for(v=0;v<k;v++)
		 {
			w=0;
			gets(str);
			n=strlen(str);
			for(i=n-1;i>=0;i--)
			 {
				for(j=0;j+i<n;j++)//enumarate all the n*(n+1)/2 substrings chk wheather a[j] to a[i+j] is palindrome or not 
				 {

					w=chkpalin(str,j,i+j);
					if(w==1)
					 break;
				 }
				
				if(w==1)
				  break;
			}
			
			printf("%d\n",i+1);
                   /printf("palindrome is \n");
			for(int x=j;x<=i+j;x++)
			  printf("%c",str[x]);
			 printf("\n");*/
		}
	}

The answer for "qweqweqwedadqweqweqwe" is "qwqewdadweqwq"
So, the length is 13..

It doesn't need to be a consecutive substring.. so, you can remove letters at any points..

[mukeshtiwari]

thnkx a lot for help...

[PVM]

getting TLE, any idea?? :evil:



would appreciate some help on it, looking forward to write in C if it helps!![code]code removed.. even though not accepted yet!! [/code]

[ExUCI]

The only thing wrong in your code is the limit. Change 255 by 1000.
Next time put a readable code.

Now remove it from the forum!!!

I am getting the same output but uva judge giving me wrong answer

solving #11151 problem...

I completed source code
found none of any faulty in my view
using only stdin(cin.getline), stdout(cout)...

like this...

while(true) {
- type input - (cin.getline)
- processing input - (algorithm for #11151)
- print output - (cout)
}

online judge system only gives me "Time Limit" msg repeatedly
like... 10.035 secs (I know the limit is 10 secs)

I think this is not a time limit exceed problem.
Maybe I need to modify "while ~ code" for this problem

anyone help me to handle this time limit?...

have a lucky day !

[rossi kamal]

Here, we consider also the empty string as a palindrome.

The length of palindrome is 0 in that case..am i right?
