Hello!
plese help me with problem 100
This programm working perfeclty but I've still got WA

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned i,j,k,n1, max,tmp,tmp1;
while (cin >>i >>j)
{

if (j<i)
{
tmp1=i;
i=j;
j=tmp1;
cout << j <<" " <<i;
}
else
cout << i << " " << j;
tmp=0;
for (k=i;k<=j; k++)
{
max=1;

n1=k;
while (n1!=1)
{
if (n1 % 2 == 0){
n1 = n1/2;
}
else{
n1 = 3*n1+1; }
max++;
if (max>tmp)
{
tmp=max;
}

}

}

cout << " " << tmp <<endl;}
return 0;
}

I want to know whats wrong with the code.If somebody help me i will be very gratefull

for this input

Code: Select all

1 1

output should be

Code: Select all

1 1 1

but your program gives

Code: Select all

1 1 0

this is the problem for which you got WA
change it and get accepted

I trying with longint too :/
I have WA , and i can't to fix it

Please help.

function nx(liczba:word):word;
var licznik:word;
begin
licznik:=1;
while liczba>1 do
begin
inc(licznik);
if liczba mod 2=0 then
liczba := liczba div 2 else
liczba := liczba+liczba+liczba+1;
end;
nx:=licznik;
end;

var x,y,i,lol,max,temp:word;
begin
read(x,y);
write(x,' ',y,' ');
if x>y then
begin
temp:=x;
x:=y;
y:=temp;
end;

max:=nx(y);
lol:=x;

for i:=x+1 to y do
begin
temp:=nx(i);
if max<temp then
begin
max:=temp;
lol:=i;
end;
end;
writeln(max);
end.

Hi, I think that your problem is that you don't calculate all the values in the given interval, watch this:

Code: Select all

...
max:=nx(y); 
lol:=x; 

for i:=x+1 to y do 
...

I think that it must be:

Code: Select all

...
max:=nx(x); 
lol:=x; 

for i:=x+1 to y do 
...

otherwise you would compute nx(y) twice and won't compute nx(x) never, fix that mistake and then try again, hope this helps,

Yandry.

and please note that you must process input until the eof is reached

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2005 11:38 am**

"mn" can be greater than "mx", you should check it and replace them if necessary
and erase it:

Code: Select all

#ifndef ONLINE_JUDGE 
*stdin=*fopen("100.in","rt"); 
freopen("1000.out","w",stdout); 
#endif

Don't worry.Read the problem carefully and do what the proccess tell there.Make sure ur code is little bit effecient as the input is 1,000,000.Check the output format.

BEST OF LUCK

Hi.

I'm a newbie @ Java.

I am trying to transplant the problems I solved in C++ to Java.

The following code always gives TLE:

Code: Select all

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class Main
{
static String token( String delim ){ 
char c = delim.charAt(0); 
StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer(""); 
try{ 
while( delim.indexOf( (int) c ) != -1 && c != 65535 ) 
c = (char) System.in.read(); 
while( delim.indexOf( (int) c ) == -1 && c != 65535 ){ 
s.append( (char) c ); 
c = (char) System.in.read(); 
} 
}catch( Exception e ){ return (null); } 
if( s.toString().equals("") ) return null; 
return s.toString(); 
}

static int percentInt(){ 
String s = token(" \n\r\t " ); 
if( s == null ) return Integer.MIN_VALUE; 
try{ 
Integer i = new Integer( s ); 
return i.intValue(); 
}catch( Exception e ){} 
return Integer.MIN_VALUE; 
} 

    private static long a1, an, steps, max_steps, i, n;
    public static void main ( String[] args )
    {
        String in = null;
        StringTokenizer st = null;
        while (true)
        {
            a1 = percentInt();
            an = percentInt();
            System.out.print(a1+" "+an+" ");
            if (a1 > an) {
                steps = an;
                an = a1;
                a1 = steps;
            }
            max_steps = 1;
            for (i = a1; i <= an; ++i) {
                steps = 1;
                n = i;
                while ( n != 1 ) {
                    if ( n % 2 == 1)
                        n = n * 3 + 1;
                    else
                        n /= 2;
                    ++steps;
                }
                if (steps > max_steps)
                    max_steps = steps;
            }
            System.out.println(max_steps);
        }
    }
}

I used the same algo in C++, and I got AC.

Could anyone help me on this?

Is java simply so much slower that I need to think of a clever algo?

Thx in adavance

Here is my code, I have submitted it couple of times and still says Wrong answer, HELP PLEASE

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct answers
{
int start,
end,
max;
struct answers * next;
};

void main()
{
int start, end, count, max;
struct answers * head = NULL;
struct answers * temp = NULL;

while ( cin >> start >> end )
{
max = 0;

for ( int i = start; i <= end; i++)
{
int n = i;
count = 0;

while (true)
{
count++;

if ( n == 1)
break;

if ( n%2 == 1)
n = n*3 +1;
else
n = n/2;
}
// Save answer
if ( count >= max)
{
max = count;

}
}
struct answers * node = new answers;

if ( head == NULL)
{
head = node;
node->next = NULL;
node->start = start;
node->end = end;
node->max = max;
temp = head;
}
else
{
temp->next = node;
node->next = NULL;
node->start = start;
node->end = end;
node->max = max;
temp = node;
}
}

cout.clear();
// Display Answer
temp = head;
while ( temp != NULL )
{
cout << temp->start << " " << temp->end << " " << temp->max << endl;
temp = temp->next;
}
while( head != NULL )
{
temp = head;
head = head->next;
delete temp;
}

}

Please reply soon

Next time, please see the sticky at the top of this forum before posting.

Mistake: start can be greater than end.

Yesterday, I have sent my program(Problem 100) and it got "Accepted".
But today I sent another program and got "Time Limit Exceeded".
I cannot the reason this program becomes "Time Limit Exceeded".
Please tell me what is wrong.

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>

#ifndef UINT
#define UINT unsigned int
#endif

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UINT CalcShusoku(UINT n)
{

register UINT res = 1,
i = n;
while (1 < i) {
if (i & 1)
i = i * 3 + 1;
else
i >>= 1;
res++;
}
return res;
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
register UINT org_begin, org_end,
plus,
i,
maximum;

while (scanf("%d %d\n", &org_begin, &org_end) == 2) {
register UINT begin = org_begin,
end = org_end;

plus = (begin <= end) * 2 - 1;

i = begin;
maximum = 0;
do {
register const UINT j = CalcShusoku(i);

if (maximum < j)
maximum = j;
i += plus;
} while (i != end);
printf("%d %d %d\n", org_begin, org_end, maximum);
}

return 0;
}

P.S. I am too bad for English. Please tell me by easly English

Posted: **Wed Aug 17, 2005 3:09 pm**

Please, What is the error in this code?????????????????
C++

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void main(){
unsigned long int a, b, min, max, out=0;
cin>> a;
cin>> b;
if (a>b){
min=b;
max=a;
}
else{
min=a;
max=b;
}
if ( min<=0 || max>=1000000){
cout<<"Out of range"<<endl;
exit(1);}
for (unsigned long int j=min; min<=max; j++){
for (unsigned long int i=1; min!=1; i++){
if (min%2==0)
min=min/2;
else
min= 3*min + 1;
}
out= out>i? out : i;
min = j;
}
cout<<a<<" "<<b<<" "<<out<<endl;
}

and the question is problem 100..

Hi fadia ismael,

I guess the problem is with the scope of your variable

Code: Select all

for (unsigned long int i=1; min!=1; i++){ 
if (min%2==0) 
min=min/2; 
else 
min= 3*min + 1; 
} 
out= out>i? out : i;

the variable 'i' is already out of scope when it is accessed by the line

Code: Select all

out= out>i? out : i;

Maybe you would move the variable 'i' declaration outside the loop

Code: Select all

unsigned long int i;
for (i=1; min!=1; i++){ 
if (min%2==0) 
min=min/2; 
else 
min= 3*min + 1; 
} 
out= out>i? out : i;

PS: Don't forget that the input can be more than one. You must read until EOF is encountered.

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot, I've got it, but... why it give Accepted if I removed the word "unsigned" even it will not give an answer if we used large numbers??

Posted: **Sun Sep 04, 2005 12:38 pm**

I am getting the desired output for all the test-cases.
But it is not accepting my problem..

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	unsigned long int a,b,c,d, loopvar, cycle_length=1, max_cycle_length=1, i;

	clrscr();

	scanf("%ld",&a);
	scanf(" %ld",&b);

	printf("%ld %ld",a, b);

	if(a>b)
	{
		a=a+b;
		b=a-b;
		a=a-b;
	}

	loopvar = (b-a) + 1;
	c = a;
	d = a;

	for(i=1; i<=loopvar; i++)
	{

		while(c != 1)
		{
			if(c%2==0)
			{
				c = c/2;
			}
			else
			{
				c = 3*c + 1;
			}
			cycle_length++;
		}

		if(cycle_length >= max_cycle_length)
		{
			max_cycle_length = cycle_length;
		}
		d++;
		c = d;
		cycle_length=1;
	}
	printf(" %ld",max_cycle_length);
    return 0;
}

}
