346 - Getting Chorded

[Caesum]

My attempts at this problem seem to continually meet in failure. It is surely just straightforward looking for three notes in sequence with gaps of 2 or 3 and my program interprets the sample data fine, and it works with test that I can think of. Is there some musical thing I am overlooking here, or some strangeness of input data ?

[Caesum]

my WA code: comments welcome

[wyvmak]

Try, in name2[], add "B#" under "C". "Fb" under "E". "E#" under "F". "Cb" under "B"

[xenon]

Thanks wyvmak, this solves a long standing WA for me...

(B# Fb G is a C Major chord.)

[Ivan Golubev]

Thanks wyvmak! A very useful hint though I'm surprised that these notes can exists...

[Caesum]

Yes, thanks.

This is obviously some kind of musical thing since it is not a part of the problem as given. As you can see my musical knowledge is somewhat lacking

[angga888]

Help me.
Please test my input :

b# fb g
c# e# a#
Ab cb eb
C E F#
C Eb G
c# a f#
f g# C
B# e# A
eb Bb Gb
cb Eb Gb
Eb F# a#
b eb f#
c fb g
db F Ab
db E# Ab

What the output will be?
And could you give me some another creative input and the correct output?

Thanx.
Angga

[angga888]

Help me.
Tell me if any of them are wrong.

b# fb g is a C Major chord.
c# e# a# is a A# Minor chord.
Ab cb eb is a Ab Minor chord.
C E F# is unrecognized.
C Eb G is a C Minor chord.
c# a f# is a F# Minor chord.
f g# C is a F Minor chord.
B# e# A is a F Major chord.
eb Bb Gb is a Eb Minor chord.
cb Eb Gb is a B Major chord.
Eb F# a# is a Eb Minor chord.
b eb f# is a B Major chord.
c fb g is a C Major chord.
db F Ab is a Db Minor chord.
db E# Ab is a Db Major chord.

And, if you don't mind, please give me another tricky inputs.

Regards,

Hi all,

I've been trying to solve the Get Chordered problem, with no success.

After some "googleing", I found an answer to this problem, and compared the output produced by my program with the other one. For my surprise, I found these two lines were different:

***** My program
cb Eb Gb is a B Major chord.
b eb f# is a B Major chord.

***** The program I found
cb Eb Gb is unrecognized.
b eb f# is unrecognized.

Hey, cb Eb Gb forms a B Major!!! Anyone who plays the guitar or the piano can confirm this! But, the program I found, that suposedely got an accepted doesn't state this.

Here's my solution, and sorry if I got anything else wrong...

}
}

int get_note_val (char * s)
{
char vs[10];
strcpy(vs, s);
strlow(vs);

if ((!strcmp("c", vs)) || (!strcmp("b#", vs))) return 0;

[cytse]

My AC program considers both cases as B Major chord.

I think there are no such test cases in judge.

[rfcotta]

hmmm.... so I give up!

[windows2k]

hmmm.... so I give up!

I also am confused with this question.
I found many input from network,and the discussion board before
I still get WA,could someone give me some input/output?
Thx

[edfigo]

Read the last line of the problem...
You must use # instead of b, for example Ab must be G#.

I hope this helps!

[angga888]

Thanks for your hint.
I've got AC.
