11232 - Cylinder

[David Kjaer]

Is it just me or is the answer for the second test input not optimal....

My binary search gives a radius of 6.036325 - not 5 as the statement says - and that gives a volume of 1144.709. I have checked whether this cylinder is legal and it seems so...

Is it a quirk in the problem statement i got wrong?

You can't cut out that circle. You need a sheet of paper of width at least 2r (the circle's diameter) to cut out a circle of radius r.

[David Kjaer]

What a mindnumbingly stupid mistake...

I agree... Thanks

[David Kjaer]

I still get WA on this one....

I lean towards a precision error, but there might be a hidden bug somewhere.

Here is my code..

Code: Select all

I'd suggest to replace binary search by:

Code: Select all

my = min(width/2, len/(2*PI+2)).

[David Kjaer]

Thanks mate...

It seems to be a precision issue, caused by the binary search...

[dplt]

well .. I tried to solve it by counting both the volumes if the paper is folded
horizontally and vertically. Then, choose the biggest one.
Afterall, all of sudden just give me more Wrong Answers...

Actually, David, I have no idea why Binary Search used for...

my code is actually simple. Just give me a hand please.

Code: Select all

Change all floats to doubles.

"Float" often causes precision error.

[sclo]

Also, please remove the solution from the board. It's too much of a spoiler.

[dplt]

sohel, you're right. I never expect such kind of error processing...

better check next time..

sclo, I've done it

i've got many WAs during the contest and after contest, can somebody tell me why my solution is wrong
here is my code:

Code: Select all

[Adrian Kuegel]

Why do you think your binary search should work?
You could use a ternary search, but actually only if you use two different ternary searches, one for the case with horizontal roll up, the other for vertical roll up. But I suggest you think more about this problem, then you can find a solution without any ternary search.

I am tired because of many WAs..

Can someone give some strickly I/O?

thanks very much..
