462 - Bridge Hand Evaluator

Some thing seems wrong.
There are same cards in the 13 cards of a hand. How could I calc the point?

For me, i don't understand which rules to follow. It has claimed to have "ignoring rule 5,6,7" but in the output, to evaluate the 17 points. it has taken into account of rule 5. isn't it a bit weird?

and it claimed to sort the S H D C, but at the same time telling me two possible inputs. why?

Since it has been some time since these posts were made, these comments my be irrelevant, however here goes:

I had this problem accepted before it was re-judged, however not after - it perplexed me for a long time. However this is what I learned. The problem that I had was that before the problem was re-judged, a jack with more that 3 cards would stop a suit (I'm not sure if the problem description changed or the test data changed

).

Turboc:

Don't worry if there is duplicate cards or not, simply following the rules will solve the problem. There are only 13 cards for each input.

wyvmak:

There are two values that you need to calculate, a total point value and a no-trump point value. You use rules 5, 6 & 7 in the total point value, but not in the no-trump point value.

In the end of the example there are two possible outputs "bid c" and "bid d", however since you need to sort the result by suit, the only accepted output is "bid d".

Could anyone help me??!! Thx in advance!

P.S. I don't want to post my code here because it's rather long. However, I can sent you via PM.

Plz help me!!!

Oh... A really silly mistake in my if-the-else statements

Fixed it and got ACC!

This one seems so easy, and yet I have WA for some reason. I've checked it over so many times and can't find the problem. Here is my code (sorry it's so long, but it should be straight-forward):

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

main() {
    char hand[13][4];   /* 13 cards - #/suit */
    int score, no_trump_score;
    int S_stopped, H_stopped, D_stopped, C_stopped; /* Flags for stopped suits */
    int S_num, H_num, D_num, C_num; /* Number of each suit */
    char bid[15];   /* Pass, bid suit, bid no trump */
    int first_time = 1; /* Flag for first time through loop */
    int i;
    
    while( !feof(stdin) ){
        /* Print \n if not first time through loop */
        if( first_time == 0 ) {
            printf("\n");            
        }
        first_time = 0;

        score = no_trump_score = S_stopped = H_stopped = D_stopped = C_stopped = S_num = H_num = D_num = C_num = 0;
        
        /* Get input, Count cards in each suit as they are input */
        for( i = 0; i < 13; i++ ) {
            scanf("%s", hand[i]);

Hi, Guys I need your help!!!
The broblem is so simple that I writed it very fast, but I got WA all the time. But with 2 tests variants in example it works perfect.
Can somebody send INPUT/OUTPUT from AC program???

mihailss · Post by **mihailss** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 11:57 pm

Guys please, I really need to solve this problem...
I need only INPUT/OUTPUT from AC program...

I will become crazy, but i could not find mistake in code....
For it is perfect...
May be some special cases????

mihailss · Post by **mihailss** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 12:18 am

Guys I really need to solve this problem... Can you tell me if I will post my code here where my logic is wrong. Because I can not find error, but still I ahve WA.
I can send you source via an e-mail. Or if you want just post it here on forum....

Sakib · Post by **Sakib** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:36 pm

i just solve the problem.
i think it is easy one with no tricky I/O.

Some inputs.

Code: Select all


KS QS AS 2S 3S 4S 5S 6S 7S 8S JS TS 8H
KS QS AC AS 3S 4C 5C 6C 7S 8S JS TS 8H
KD QD AD 2D 3S 4S 5S 6S 7S 8D JS TS 8H
KS QS AS 2D 3D 4C 5H 6H 7H 8S JH TH 8H
KS QS AS AD KD QD AH KH QH AC JC KC 2C

outputs :

BID S
BID S
BID S
PASS
BID NO-TRUMP

if this is not helpful.....
post your code.
i'll try to help.

mihailss · Post by **mihailss** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:49 pm

I test you INPUT/OUTPUT...So no error everything is correcty...but still WA.
Thanks for help. I send source code by e-mail to you( in your profile)...
I will wait for the abswer, thanks a lot

mihailss · Post by **mihailss** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 2:23 am

Hello Sakib,

Where are you ??? Did you got my e-mail???

What you can say about code???
Can you allocate this crazy mistake????
I cant get it...
Please write me back your ideas....

Sakib · Post by **Sakib** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 6:34 pm

i dont really get your problem.
but i find something unusual.
when the end of file reaches your program output an extra output.
for example when i press ctrl + z after the sample input your program
output an extra "BID S".
which can cause WA!!!

i took input like this :

while(scanf("%s",s) == 1)
{
for(i=1;i<13;i++)scanf("%s",s);
}

try this.
your program seems ok except that.
Thanks.

mihailss · Post by **mihailss** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 11:30 am

Hi,
I change the program by the way you write to me, but still WA again. So I am in big trouble. Can you send me your source code to my e-mail (you must have it, because I allready send one message to you.)

Really so easy problem, but I could not get my problem....
Please help me!!!

pineapple · Post by **pineapple** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 7:45 pm

Hi,Cruzer:
I think these lines may exist a problem.Others seems OK.

Code: Select all

case 'S':
    if( S_num == 1 )
    score--;
    no_trump_score--;
case ...

Why didn't you add parentheses for these "if"?
if you haven't got AC yet,please try it.
Hope it helps.Bye~
