Hello

I have read others' AC code on the Internet.
And,I think my code is act like that.

But,I always get TLE.
Please help me....QQ

thansk

this is my code

Code: Select all

#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>
#include <algorithm>
#include<cstdio>
#define D(x) cout<<#x<<" is "<<x<<endl;
using namespace std;

int Lego_location[30],Location_Lego_num[30];
int Legonum;

void clear_onto(int n)

Here's my code for the Blocks Problem.
I have tried multiple test cases which the code satisfied.
But after submission, I am still getting "Wrong answer" as the verdict.
Can anyone please point out the mistake?

Could anyone please tell me what is the problem with this code against ANSI C?

It gets accepted in C++, but Runtime Error in ANSI C.

Many thanks!

Re: 101 - The Blocks Problem

Post by pavan.tc »

My program hit a "runtime error". That is all the information I have in my mail. Couple of questions:
1. The input, as mentioned in the problem, can be assumed to be limited to 25 blocks. Do any of the test cases enter a number larger than this limit?
2. Can I get the test case that generated this error?
3. Can the program output be passed on after a test failure?

Thanks,
Pavan
