Got AC. Using integer. Wasn't checking i <= j just i < j.

i've tried your code and i got the WA but not CE
Submitting problems using mail seems have some problem.I use the hotmail,my code which can get AC when i use the online juge system always get CE if i send my code to judge@uva.es .So,try to use the Valladolid ACM Online Judge(submit your problem online) in the
http://onlinejudge.uva.es/problemset/
hope this will help u

I don't understand why my code doesn't work.

I keep getting WA. Can you see anything wrong?

[c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define TABLE_SIZE 2500000

unsigned short s_length[TABLE_SIZE];

unsigned short cycleLength(unsigned long n) {
unsigned short length = (n > TABLE_SIZE) ? 0 : s_length[n];

if( length == 0 ) {
/* cycle length of n not computed yet */

if( n & (unsigned int)1 ) {
/* odd */
length = 1 + cycleLength(3 * n + 1);
}else {
/* even */
length = 1 + cycleLength(n / 2);
}

if( n < TABLE_SIZE ) {
s_length[n] = length;
}
}

return length;
}

int main() {
unsigned int i, j, k;
unsigned short max;
unsigned short length;

memset(s_length, 0, sizeof(s_length));
s_length[1] = 1;

while( scanf(" %u %u", &i, &j) == 2 ) {
max = 0;

if( i > j ) {
k = i;
i = j;
j = k;
}

for(k = i ; k <= j; k++) {
length = cycleLength(k);

if( length > max ) {
max = length;
}
}
printf("%d %d %d\n", i, j, max);
}

return 0;
}

As you can see, while computing the cycle length the number excedes the MAX_UINT. This means that if your "cycle length" function uses 32 bit integers it wont reach a correct result. In fact if you use int's, at some point the variable will wrap around to a negative value.
Now whats really wrong about this is that online-judge accepts programs that wield wrong answers.

Under windows environment I use unsigned __int64 as a 64 bit integer variable type. Under linux I think its long long, not sure though.

[c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <limits.h>

#define TABLE_SIZE 2500000

#ifdef WIN32
typedef unsigned __int64 UINT64;
#else
typedef ? UINT64;
#endif

/* 704511 */

unsigned short s_length[TABLE_SIZE];

unsigned short cycleLength(UINT64 n) {
unsigned short length = (n <= 0 || n > TABLE_SIZE) ? 0 : s_length[n];

/* if( n > UINT_MAX ) {
printf("%15I64d : > 32 bit unsigned int. (unsigned int OR unsigned long)\n", n);
}else
if( n > INT_MAX ) {
printf("%15I64d : > 32 bit signed int. (int OR long)\n", n);
}else {
printf("%15I64d\n", n);
}
*/
if( length == 0 ) {
/* cycle length of n not computed yet */

if( n & (UINT64)1 ) {
/* odd */
length = 1 + cycleLength(3 * n + 1);
}else {
/* even */
length = 1 + cycleLength(n / 2);
}

if( n > 0 && n < TABLE_SIZE ) {
s_length[n] = length;
}
}

return length;
}

int main() {
unsigned int i, j, k, n1, n2;
unsigned short max;
unsigned short length;

memset(s_length, 0, sizeof(s_length));
s_length[1] = 1;

while( scanf(" %u %u", &n1, &n2) == 2 ) {
max = 0;

if( n1 < n2 ) {
i = n1;
j = n2;
}else {
i = n2;
j = n1;
}

for(k = i ; k <= j; k++) {
length = cycleLength(k);

if( length > max ) {
max = length;
}
}
printf("%d %d %d\n", n1, n2, max);
}

return 0;
}

[/c]

I think your answer for 1 1000000 is bit too long.

There is a popular sticky post concerning this problem. Please see it.

I think it's a problem with the result presentation. The problem says the I and J vars are presented in input order.

The integers i and j must appear in the output in the same order in which they appeared in the input and should be followed by the maximum cycle length (on the same line).

Example (your code):

input:

i = 20
j = 10

must swap
k = i = 20
i = j = 10
j = k = 20

result
i = 10; j = 20

now it computs and shows:
10 20 -function result max-

should be
20 10 - function result max -

Thanks. Already found out my error. And found out a bug to. Its posted on another topic though.

Hi,

It's now 3 hour i try to get the 100 problem to work I continualy get an WA, this is the first time i submit a program, so maybe I do something wrong. I already read about some common bug and correct them, but it still dont work.

Here is my code, thx
[cpp]

#include <iostream>

Hi

I'm new to Java and I'm really dissappointed with my unsuccess on problem 100 3n+1 . I believe there must be an bug in the input code :
Note the third last line

[java]static String ReadLn (int maxLg) // utility function to read from stdin
{
byte lin[] = new byte [maxLg];
int lg = 0, car = -1;
String line = "";

try
{
while (lg < maxLg)
{
car = System.in.read();
if ((car < 0) || (car == '\n')) break;
lin [lg++] += car;
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
return (null);
}

if ((car < 0) && (lg == 0)) return (null); // eof
return (new String (lin, 0, lg));
}[/java]

if (car == '\n') is entered , means a "enter" to terminate the input stream (otherwise I don't know how to end my manual input ) ,'car' = 13 and (car < 0) will be false , then the if statement will not be executed . Then it will not return a 'null' , but a string Then a bug appears !

Pls other tell me how u can overcome this problem ? Thnx a lot !!!

further , it i want to test my prog with the test data from the text file , could any one show me how to do ?

Best regards ,

bang

Try to take the thing positively… then u will get positive answer (accepted). Negative thinking can only bring u a negative reply ( i,e WA)

i know it is not well programmed but pre-calculating all the numbers is very fast (running time on acm server is about 3 seconds) I don't know where i recieve WA. Ovviously the sample input and the sample output are corresponding. Please help me. Bye

Posted: **Thu Nov 20, 2003 2:53 pm**

I got accepted only changing variables type from float to double... it's strange, I think there are no numbers to compute that are above 10^38....

but with old version i had:
(input) 1 999999
(output) 1 999999 502

with the new one:
(input) 1 999999
(output) 1 999999 525

could anyone clarify that?

thanks in advance.... bye!

Posted: **Fri Nov 21, 2003 5:40 pm**

I got a TLE...

The number may exceed 2^31, so I don't think we can make a array to save the length to reach "1" for each number.
