11060 - Beverages

Post by Martin Macko »

Well... the beverages relation is transitive, but is it asymmetric? If it is not, what is the correct answer for the following?

Code: Select all

5
a
b
c

Well, the problem states that a relation A B means that the amount of alcohol in drink A (which must be a non-negative real number, I guess) is less than the amount of alcohol in B.
Comparison of reals is asymmetric.

I believe the input will not form any "circles" because of the background information about alcohol content of the beverages.

I assumed there were no cycles - because they didn't say what to do in the case of one.

I am still not sure what I did wrong with my solution, it was supposed to be a simple topological sort, right?

What is output for this:

Code: Select all

Yes, it's just a simple topological sort, but be careful when you count the degree of each node. I believe there will be the case when some of the edges are listed more than once in the input.

And I got "b c a" for your input.

Try this one:

Code: Select all

5
A
B
C
D
E
5
C A
D A
B D
E B
E C

Correct output:

Code: Select all

Case #1: Dilbert should drink beverages in this order: E B C D A.

maybe you sort the drinks by name , because the drinks on each level in sample is given by the order of input , but you output them in sorted order for example if B and A are in the same level and B is given before A in the input you should print B , A not A , B
In being unlucky I have the record.

No, they are not:
In the case there is no relation between two beverages Dilbert should start drinking the one that appears first in the input.
For example, in the 2nd sample case, there's no relation between rum and cachaca, but since rum appears earlier in the input, it should be drank before cachaca.

Hi, your output is wrong.. but Topologically they are correct :evil:
here you have to print on priority basis..

I think you will get accepted if you use a priority queue instead of Queue
Thanks

I had the same output when i did topological sort.
This is the key sentence:
In the case there is no relation between two beverages Dilbert should start drinking the one that appears first in the input.
It means that because juice is the first drink in the input that isn't preceeded by some other drink that has less alchohol, it comes first. Then, wine becomes the first drink in the input with the following property...
