10099 , something wrong???

Post by kcph007 »

In the sample input, each trip can take upto 25 passengers, to it needs only 4 trips to take 99 to the destination, but the sample answer is 5, am I misunderstanding?
Thanks

It is ok, the guide can always take only 24 passangers with him.

In other words, the bus can take 25, and 1 of them has to be the guide. I was pondering this myself for quite awhile..

so i subtracted 1 from the passenger number each time...

am i wrong???
pls someone give me suggestions...

     route[col][row]=cost[a]-1;
     }
}

long max(long a,long b)
{
if(a>=b)
  return a;
else return b;
}

long min(long a,long b)
{
if(a<=b)
  return a;
else return b;
}
I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

Hello, ... I saw you use some floating-point arithmetic to determine how many trips needed ...

Can you try avoiding real-numbers operation there ... my AC solution doesn't use float/double at all ... I don't see anything suspicious other than that ...

min-trips is just an integer function that can be determined quickly by observing number of total tourists (given in input) and max-tourists-per-trip that you already computed.

I'd be happy to avoid floating-point arithmetic unless it's really needed.

I don't see any kind of constraints in this problem for passenger-limit and total-tourists ... try to have total tourists = 654254568 (I just picked a big number) and your maximum route = 9999 ... FYI => 654254568 / 9999 = 65432 even. For those numbers, your code below would print out 65433 instead of 65432. Of course the input-cases might not contain those big numbers ... but who knows ...

[c]temp=(float)tourist;

trip=temp/route[start][end];
trip1=(long)trip;

if((trip-trip1)>0.00)
trip_num=trip1+1;
else if((trip-trip1)==0.00)
trip_num=trip1;
printf("Scenario #%ld\n",case_num);
printf("Minimum Number of Trips = %ld\n",trip_num);
printf("\n"); [/c]

Re: Why WA:10099

Post by turuthok »

Oh yes, one more thing that could trip you on this problem ... the roads are supposed to be bidirectional ... make sure you handle this.

u need to modify your code a little to get AC.

code to change:

Code: Select all

d[i][j] = max(d[i][j], min(d[i][k], d[k][j]));
code to replace with:

Code: Select all

d[i][j] = d[j][i] = max(d[i][j], min(d[i][k], d[k][j]));
hope u can understand why the change was needed. :)

good luck

[c]
Excuse me Mr. and Mrs.(and all the gurus there)
have you ever read problem 10099?

I just don't get the point of the sample case written there

it was said that Mr G had to take the route 1-2-4-7 and
it took 5 trips(shouldn't it be 4)
and if it is true (1-2-4-7) ,the number of tourists is only
30+25+35 == 90 ---> 90<99
so the asnwer is wrong ,he couldn't have taken that route

what about
1-2-5-7 ----> 4 trips with 110 passengers
I think it's the best answers

anybody can help me?
Maybe I just don't get the problem and the sample case
Thanks .....[/c]
codes are just codes
