There is a lot of data in the input file.
So you could speed up the input/output process.
Usually, people use fread and fwrite to speed up I/O.

vice versa x<y or x>y is possible
so D result = greater num - smaller num
&& use long long

input can be as large as 2^32, but unsigned integer can hold 2^32-1 at maximum.

Help!! still GOT WA
int main()
{
long long int num1 ,num2,answer;

while(scanf("%lld %lld",&num1,&num2) != EOF)
{
if(num1 > num2)
{
answer = num1 - num2;
printf("%lld\n",answer);
}
else
{
answer = num2 - num1;
printf("%lld\n",answer);
}

}


return 0;
}

I wrote this in C!
why I still got a WA~?
thx! :o

You can try putting this before the main function as global varibles and also selecting C++ compiler.
long long int num1 ,num2,answer;

Code: Select all

long long int num1 ,num2,answer;
int main()
{
while(scanf("%lld %lld",&num1,&num2) != EOF)
{
if(num1 > num2)
{
answer = num1 - num2;
printf("%lld\n",answer);
}
else
{
answer = num2 - num1;
printf("%lld\n",answer);
}

}


return 0;
}

It may help.

10055 - RTE in JAVA (SOLVED)

Post by zyxw »

I solved this problem long ago using C++ (which is my usual language).
I am a newbie in Java...
I wanted to use Java in UVa. So i chose a easy problem(10055) to start with.
But... :o
RUNTIME ERROR is the only verdict i'm getting :oops:

I don't think there is any error in algorithm :wink:
So i'm posting in Java forum.
What might be the mistake? Is my method of taking input wrong? If so, what is the correct way??

Here is the code: ( Works fine in my computer )

Code: Select all

Thanks to mf... Got AC...
I am not totally useless, because I can still be used as a bad example :P

Java's int can hold values in range 2^31 to 2^31-1.
Integer.parseInt(...) will throw an exception if its input lies outside this range, and for some cases in this problem it does. An uncaught exception is then reported to you as a runtime error.

Thanks mf for quick reply...

1) Should i use BigInteger?
2) I am getting RTE for another problem also (10519 - REALLY STRANGE).
I have posted here...

Since i'm getting RTE in both programs, i thought there might be some problem with taking input :roll:

You can use BigInteger if you like, but long type (which is a 64-bit integer) would be sufficient and more simple. But you should parse a string to long with Long.parseLong() method.
2) I am getting RTE for another problem also (10519 - REALLY STRANGE).

I don't know what's wrong there.
Perhaps, there are leading/trailing whitespace on some lines in the input. Try to use java.util.Scanner to parse input, it can take care of these whitespace.

Got AC after 10 RTEs :)

Thanks a million mf.

Initially when i had difficulty in reading input in Java, i followed your suggestion here...

Its nice to see the same person helping me now :wink:

Can you please show how to use it or can you give some links to read about them?

P.S: Should i remove my code from this thread and from Java forum?

Here's a sample code which shows how to use Scanner:

Code: Select all

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

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(System.in)));

        while (in.hasNextBigInteger()) {
            java.math.BigInteger n = in.nextBigInteger();
            System.out.printf("%s^2 = %s\n", n, n.multiply(n));  // do something
        }
    }
}
As always, you can find all the documentation about Scanner in its javadocs:
