Thanks Maniac. I simply followed what you said and got AC. The limit you gave is helpful.

Let me try to say the input format again(for each case):

Code: Select all

P N
paper database 1
paper database 2
...
paper database P
author 1
author 2
...
author N
For each line of paper database, like Maniac said, there are two formats, one of these is:

Code: Select all

FirstName1, LastName1, FirstName2, LastName2, ... FirstNameX, LastNameX: <the rest is not important, just ignore it>
Then this paper contains X authors.

Or another kind:

Code: Select all

FirstName1, LastName1, FirstName2, LastName2, ... FirstNameX, LastNameX, FirstNameY: <the rest is not important, just ignore it>
This is also contains X authors. Ignore FirstNameY.

Finally, the format of name lines is:

Code: Select all

FirstName1, LastName1
Note that the format of all available names, i.e., excluding like FirstNameY:, in the input is:

Code: Select all

FirstName, LastName
(FirstName, follows a comma, follows at least one whitespace, follows LastName)
So I assure Alexis Blaze that the input you post would not appear in judge data.

Runtime Error - Invalid Memory Reference

Post by TripShock »

My program gives Runtime Error - Invalid Memory Reference. I understand this could be because my arrays are going out of bounds some place but I can't spot anything. Someone help please...

Code: Select all

Hi ppl!
Can anyone with AC solution please provide me some tricky testcases for that problem. I don't want to post source as it might be hard to read for you, so I'd like to get the cases instead.
I have array [1..1002][1..5001] for the Graph and I know it's enough, and I have a queue with 50000 elements, the queue is (dunno in English...) "looped".

Thanx!
Now I lay me down to sleep...

My AC program can take maximum 10000 authors..
I don't know how many authors there would be..
But, I'm sure it'll be more than 5000 ...

And what did you expect?
"int connection[6000][6000];" is 6000^2*4 bytes = 137.3 Mb. Default memory limit is 32 Mb.

Thanks for your reply. I try to delete all the code and just have the main method to return 0. It doesn't return memory limit exceeded that way. But, when I put some code, it returns memory limit exceeded. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening? Is the way the compiler work ignored unused declaration of array?

If you see "Minimum" as memory usage, that means the judge couldn't determine your program's memory usage. This often happens for programs that terminate very quickly.

WA/RTE

Post by Ion2Atom »

I finally figured out how to get past the TLE. Unfortunately now I have WA on PC and RTE on UVA. Can anybody give out some test cases? I did a simple one like this:

Code: Select all

1
12 16
Erdos, P., C, C: asdf
Erdos, P., B, B: asdf
Erdos, P., A, A: asdfa
B, B, G, G: asdf
A, A, H, H: asdf
H, H, I, I: asdf
I, I, J, J, K, K: asdf
J, J, L, L: asdf
L, L, F, F: asdf
C, C, F, F: aadsf
F, F, D, D, E, E: asdf
M, M, N, N, O, O: asdf
Erdos, P.
A, A
B, B
C, C
D, D
E, E
F, F
G, G
H, H
I, I
J, J
K, K
L, L
M, M
N, N
O, O
which gives the output of:

Code: Select all

Scenario 1
Erdos, P. 0
A, A 1
B, B 1
C, C 1
D, D 3
E, E 3
F, F 2
G, G 2
H, H 2
I, I 3
J, J 4
K, K 4
L, L 3
M, M infinity
N, N infinity
O, O infinity
It also passes the sample input, and double sample input. I'm really stumped on why this is incorrect. Thanks for any help! (code following)

Note: I have tried removing all white space (/t, /r, ' ', & '.') like it says earlier in the thread, and it still doesn't work. So I think I must be doing something different wrong. :\

Post by kason »

could someone tell me....

if the paper database is

___A,___B___,_C,_D_,_E,_F: Newtonian forms of prime factor matrices

the authors' name are still

A,_B
C,_D
E,_F

or

A,___B
C,_D
E,_F

or

something else ~"~?????


ps. _ mean a space

can some give me some special input-output?
i got WA
I ALSO check all the input which is given in this board.
but i don't know whats my problem.
is it ok to get the input format?
or is it okk to run the loop until ':';

Code: Select all

for(j=1;j<=x;j++)
		{
			gets(string);
			count=0;
			s=0;
			d=0;
			ch='2';
			for(k=0;ch!=':';k++)
			{

Re: 10044 - Erdos Numbers

Post by rs17 »

After lots of REs I realize that there must be some extra empty lines in the input file!!!(There's nothing about this in the problem statement.) I changed my program and got Accepted.
How did I fall in love with PERL?

Isn't that meaningless?!

Post by AltCtrlDel »

I kept wondering about why I am getting RTE until I found on this forum a hint about a possible author name without first name initials and that it should be ignored! Now I got AC. But isn't it meaningless?! What skill does such trick measure?!! This is nonsensical!

Well, this is one messed up problem. Here's the input/output pair which finally got my code accepted. Part of it was earlier in this thread, but it was not sufficient.

Input:

Code: Select all

  4    3
    Smith,   M.N.,  Martin,    G.,    Erdos, P.: Newtonian forms of prime factor matrices 
Erdos,              P.,  Reisig, W.: Stuttering in petri nets
Smith, M.N., Chen, X.: First oder derivates in structured programming
Jablonski, T., Hsueh, Z.: Selfstabilizing data structures
 Smith,          M.N.
   Hsueh,    Z.
Chen, X.
12 19
Erdos, P., C, C., FUFAIL: asdf
Erdos, P., B, B.: asdf
Erdos, P., A, A.: asdfa
B, B., G, G.: asdf
A, A., H, H.: asdf
H, H., I, I.: asdf
I, I., J, J., K, K.: asdf
J, J., L, L.: asdf
L, L., F, F.: asdf
C, C., F, F.: aadsf
F, F., D, D., E, E.: asdf
M, M., N, N., O, O.: asdf
Erdos, P.
A, A.
B, B.
C, C.

H, H.
I, I.
J, J.
K, K.
L, L.
M, M.
N, N.
O, O.
WTF, F.

Output:

Scenario 2
Erdos, P. 0
A, A. 1
B, B. 1

L, L. 3
M, M. infinity
N, N. infinity
O, O. infinity
WTF, F. infinity

WTF, U. infinity
I'm sure there's some overkill here, but if your program handles this input it should be accepted. Oh, and that "FUFAIL" in the paper authors without an initial - you must handle that 100%. Same goes for "WTF" without the initial in the names list.
