Poor question!
The test input contains charactors besides 'A'..'Z', 'a'...'z', '.', ' ', ',', '-', '$'.
So bad this question is!

Can anyone explain why the solution for sample input is 335 and 167?
Doing only the second case as it's smaller, 167 is what you get when using, for instance, this encoding scheme:
Even though I've finally managed to get the right output for the sample data, I still get WA. Could anyone of the few people who are actually accepted on this one give the corresponding output for the following input:
And I think you'll find a hard time trying to do better using the encoding method of the problem.[space] -> 000
b -> 001
e -> 010
h -> 011
i -> 100
o -> 101
t -> 110
a -> 111000
n -> 111001
q -> 111010
r -> 111011
s -> 111100
T -> 111101
u -> 111110
$ -> 1111110
. -> 11111110
, -> 11111111

Would someone mind explaining the method for determining the encoding? The question seems quite vague and ambiguous .e.g.
Thanks.
Then in next paragraph:Suppose you want to give some characters a code length of 3.
Based upon the statement of the problem, one would think a Huffman Encoding is appropriate, but if I am not mistaken, a Huffman Encoding gives a total length which is shorter than the "minimum" for the sample inputs. So what is the process for determining the "minimum" encoding that it asks for?You choose to give the first three characters a code with length 2 and the rest an equal length.
Thanks.

The input of 283,please help me,thank you
as the question describe
the first line of the test file will be an number N
and there will be N test cases....
the frist line of every case is a number m,then followed by n lines of data
then here is my code, I just read the in the data without doing anything
..........
int N,nLine,length;
char line[255];
cin>>N;
while(N--)
{
cin>>nLine;
while(nLine--)
{
length=0;
while(length==0)
{
cin.getline(line,255);
length=strlen(line);
}
}
}
but it get "time limit exceeded"....about 30 times.....
why?? I have tried many different ways.....but it dosen't work...
Can anyone please help me??
Thank you very much

this problem is STUPID
1] the text is very unclear about the encoding scheme. so i assume it is an huffman encoding (= optimal bitlength) with an extra condition, that all codes must have 8 bit maximum. so i assumed it was a "modified huffman".
2] i'm sure the sample output is wrong if my assumption is not.
3] i exhibit a 155 bit encoding scheme for the second sample, demonstrating my point:
To be or not to be, that is the question.$
'T' (1 occur) -> 111000
'o' (5 occur) -> 011
' ' (9 occur) -> 00
'b' (2 occur) -> 1001
'e' (4 occur) -> 1000
'r' (1 occur) -> 111001
'n' (2 occur) -> 1010
't' (6 occur) -> 010
',' (1 occur) -> 111010
'h' (2 occur) -> 1011
'a' (1 occur) -> 111011
'i' (2 occur) -> 1100
's' (2 occur) -> 1101
'q' (1 occur) -> 111100
'u' (1 occur) -> 111101
'.' (1 occur) -> 111110
'$' (1 occur) -> 111111
total is 9 * 2 + 11 * 3 + 14 * 4 + 8 * 6
= 18 + 33 + 56 + 48
= 155 bits.
this is a correct huffman encoding and all bitlengths are between 1 and 8.
PS: please dont formalise over an eventual error in the above table, as i partially computed it by hand. the point is that such an encoding exists that make it 155 bits, using:
1 code of length 2 bit
2 codes of length 3 bit
6 codes of length 4 bit
8 codes of length 6 bit
of course there are lots of ways to then build an encoding scheme with the same bitlength of 155 bit (just allocate the codes differently, swap the codes of same length, etc...)
so WTF is wrong with that problem? HELP

I don't think there's such output...Per wrote: Even though I've finally managed to get the right output for the sample data, I still get WA. Could anyone of the few people who are actually accepted on this one give the corresponding output for the following input:

1) All lines must end with a $
2) numbers (1, 2, 3) are not valid characters.
Therefore, any answers you get for this is probably undefined... (my AC program gives a different answer than the one given below)
