531 - Compromise

Why does this code get WA?
[c]
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main(void)
{
int n,x,n1,n2,table[101][101],y,z,ans[101],count,px,py;
char text1[101][31],text2[101][31],c;
scanf("%d",&n);
for(x=0;x<n;x++)
{
c=getchar();
if(c==EOF)
break;
for(n1=0;;)
{
scanf("%s",text1[n1]);
if(strcmp(text1[n1],"#")==0)
break;
n1++;
}
for(n2=0;;)
{
scanf("%s",text2[n2]);
if(strcmp(text2[n2],"#")==0)
break;
n2++;
}
for(y=0;y<n1+1;y++)
table[0][y]=0;
for(y=0;y<n2+1;y++)
table[y][0]=0;
for(y=0;y<n2;y++)
for(z=0;z<n1;z++)
if(strcmp(text1[z],text2[y])==0)
table[y+1][z+1]=table[y][z]+1;
else
{
if(table[y+1][z]>=table[y][z+1])
table[y+1][z+1]=table[y+1][z];
else
table[y+1][z+1]=table[y][z+1];
}
if(table[n2][n1]==0)
{
printf("\n");
continue;
}
for(px=n2,py=n1,count=0;;)
{
if(px==0 || py==0)
break;
if(table[px][py]==table[px-1][py])
px--;
else if(table[px][py]==table[px][py-1])
py--;
else
{
ans[count++]=py-1;
px--,py--;
}
}
for(y=count-1;y>=0;y--)

printf("%s",text1[ans[y]]);

Well, it's been a while, but I've just been struggling with this one and finaly got AC(P.E.).

Never trust the judges in following the problem description. They are more concerned in stabbing you from behind then testing your programming skills... :evil:

try to search solution not from start to end of speech, but from end to start ....
in my case it give me Acc ... :)))

Can you give me more input (and of course output) sample for this problem? I tried an DP algorithm but I received WA. I think that it's something tricky.

How long must be the arrays because maybe this is an other problem...
Is is ok with:

Code: Select all

type vect=array[1.100] of string[30];
var x,y,z:vect;
    j,i,n,m:integer;
    b:array[1..100,1..100] of 0..3;
    c:array[1..100,1..100] of integer;
    k:integer;

531 compromise

Post by tone4 »

1. is there anything to do with the order of output ?
i mean :
if there is a input like:
a b c d e
#
b c d e a
#

then the following 2 generated outputs will be both correct?
b c d e a
or
a b c d e
?

2. if the input is:
a b a a
#
a a
#
c d e
#
d e c
#
#
ff
#
g
#
#
#
#
=======EOF=======

?

I try to use second text to build a tree which consists of every string of second text. (one string appears in only one node)
For every string of first text, i trace it in the tree.
if (the string is in the tree AND the string appears at the first time)
print it.
But i got WA. :cry:
can you tell me what's wrong ?

This problem is involved with LCS algorithm, and I solve it with DP.

Answers to your tests (without formatting):
1. b c d e
2. a a
and so on ....

I think that minimum time complexity of this problem is N^2, so you must think about Longest Increasng Sequence (LCS)

Lapsus linguae by Dominik, as he wrote Longest Increasing Sequence. What he meant (I guess 8)) was Longest Common Sequence. It's Dynamic Programming. Look for it in books with topics about DP. If it still makes the problem, let me know. I'll be glad to help. :wink:

Maxim, you have right :)))
When I wrote it, I must think about other things ;-)

Can someone post more cases?

I handled everything mentioned, including LCS of no words..

What's wrong with my code? I keep getting wa.

Code: Select all

I'm more and more disapointed by tricky inputs. Where's the interest ? What's important (in my opnion) is more the algorithm skills than the ability to think about all the silly tricky inputs one might think of...
Little joey, I'm struggling with this one : what was the tricky input you encountered please ?
