hmm.. It's so tricky. It just looks like an easy problem, but I received WA repeatedly... Is there any critical input?

I am getting wrong answer but i dont know why

can anyone tell me

Here is the code

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;

string s,t1,t2;

int main()
{
//freopen("d.in","rt",stdin);
int t;
int i,j;

cin>>t;
getline(cin,s);
for(i=0;i<t;i++)
{
getline(cin,s);
if(s=="")
{
cout<<"0"<<endl;
continue;
}
for(j=0;j<s.length();j++)
{
t1 = s.substr(0,s.length()-j);
t2 = s.substr(0,s.length()-j);
reverse( t1.begin() , t1.end() );
if(t1 == t2)
{
cout<<t1.length()<<endl;
break;
}
t1 = s.substr(j);
t2 = s.substr(j);
reverse( t1.begin() , t1.end() );
if(t1 == t2 )
{
cout<<t1.length()<<endl;
break;
}
}
}
return 0;
}

Try this input :

Code: Select all


1
qweqweqwedadqweqweqwe

I think the output should be :

Code: Select all


3

CMIW...

some more tricky tests please?

Take the entire line as input

Yes, instead of taking a string (cin>>line in C++), take the entire line as input (use cin.getline). That way, even if the line is empty, it is still considered as valid input.

there is no critical input. what algorithm did you use?

Hi. I am newcomer in c++ language. I got ac in the contest with pascal, but same algorithm in c++ got wa. I wish somebody explain me, what is wrong in c++ code:

Code: Select all

got AC

Taking input is faulty..
I don't know exactly what it is.. but try this..

Code: Select all

scanf("%d", &t);
gets(s);
while (t--) {
    gets(s);
    ...
    ...
}

Thanks a lot!
Could anyone explain me why my input was faulty?

It is a known problem. You cannot mix scanf and gets . Use scanf or gets but not both in the same program.

What happens is scanf("%d",&t) reads an integer and then stops. So the buffer has \n . now when gets reads it gets an empty line. Also don't use gets use fgets . Don't mix fgets and scanf . Use fgets and then use strtoul for integer conversion

Can u Explain your algorithm ..???

Thanks

there is a recurence relation

largest(i,j) // largest pelindrom in between index i and j including i and j
= 1, where i=j
= largest(i+1,j-1)+2, where i!=j and string==string[j]
= max( largest(i+1,j), largest(i,j-1) )

hope it helps
