Hi
What's the output for:
Code: Select all
BIRTH John Doe : January 7, 1599: Adam Doe : Jane Doe
BIRTH Casper Ghost : Jan 2, 1959 : Mary Worth : John Doe
ANCESTORS Casper Ghost
BIRTH Mary Worth : May 18, 1666:Jane Doe : Adam Doe
DEATH Mary Worth : Jan 3, 1959
DESCENDANTS John Doe
QUIT
I can not solve this problem. What is the trick?

There shouldn't be any trick. I solved this really brute force, and got nearly the slowest time on the ranklist, but it still only ran for 0.082 s.. so time is definitely not an issue..
I get:
Code: Select all
ANCESTORS of Casper Ghost
John Doe January 7, 1599 -
Adam Doe
Jane Doe
Mary Worth
DESCENDANTS of John Doe
Casper Ghost Jan 2, 1959 -

thanks. i have already got Acc. It was confusing for me whether use information form all BIRTH and DEATH commands from input or take only those which are before the command.
Thanks, anyway

Can me anybody help?
Ihave 2 questions:
Can be more then one command "ANCESTORS" (or "DESCEDANTS") in serries of commands?
Print the information about A. or D. immediately after this command with known information or wait for other information and print it after end of input?
Please be lenient with my english...
