I have checked it with every input I can find and it gives the right answer.
-I print blank line if both sums are 0
-I print upto 2 decimal points accuracy

Are there any special inputs?

Hi,

What happens when one of the sums is non-zero and the other is zero?
One more thing, I think that sum of digits as you have implemented can be
simplified by taking it modulo-9.

Code: Select all

31 = 3 + 1 = 4
31 % 9 = 4

Hi,

What happens when one of the sums is non-zero and the other is zero?

The output in this case is 0.00 %. Is that correct?

[sumankar]

Hi,

Yeah!

But i dont think your code handles the case where both inputs are empty
correctly.Check that out.

Regards,
Suman.

[RustB]

If either or both inputs are empty it just prints a blank line.

Can you give me the specific inputs for which you think this program is generating incorrect outputs?

[sumankar]

Hi,

No I am clueless.Solved this one long long back.Forgot most tricks ...if there was one.

But i'll look into it.

Regards,
Suman.

[sumankar]

One final try:

what is the first is a valid string and next input is EOF?
how do tackle that?

Regards,
Suman.

[RustB]

My original code would exit if either input was EOF.

I changed it such that even if the second line is EOF, it continues calculation with the second input as a null string, still WA.

Thanks for all the help. I think this is not a problem with my logic, but an input validation issue. I do not have the patience to sit and debug this either. I will not try too much, it is a waste of time.

After running your code on a few different inputs, you didn't get any answer different than me, but yours did print out an extra line of input. You should check to make sure that at least two lines exist.

It is a very bad habbit to check for end of file in programming contests, many beginners fail due to mistakes like this, especially since sometimes there is an end of line after the last data set, and sometimes there isn't.

So it's usually a better idea to try to read a dataset past where the last one ends, and if you can't read it, then bail. For example:

Code: Select all

while(gets(x) && gets(y)){
  //...
}

[Sedefcho]

Hi, RustB !

Your program is almost working.

I have just made some minor changes to the first 10-15 lines of
your main() function. Just repeat them and you'll get Aceepted.

One of the problems fixed was this one. You have 2*N lines
and the last line ends with EOL. Then an EOF follows.
In that case your program was printing an additional
output line containing 0.00%. Which resulted in WA of course.

Here is your code after my changes.

Code: Select all

int main()
{
   char x[30],y[30];
   int sumx,sumy;
   float ratio;
   // while(!feof(stdin))
   while(gets(x))
   {
   gets(y);
   if ( strlen(x)==0 ) break;
        // gets(x);
        sumx=firstsum(x);
        while(sumx>=10)
             sumx=sumnum(sumx);
        // gets(y);
        sumy=firstsum(y);
        while(sumy>=10)
             sumy=sumnum(sumy);
       
        // REST OF main() REMAINS UNCHANGED ! 



Good luck !

[jaracz]

I solve this problem without any suggestions which took place above.
my loop looks like this:

Code: Select all

while(gets(name1) && gets(name2))
    {
        ...(calculate both values)
        if(value1>value2)ratio = value2/value1;
        else ratio = value1/value2;
        printf("%.2lf %%\n",ratio*100);
    }

you guys don't have to check if strlen(a)==0 ... or any value == 0 and so on...

You'd better check your alphabet before post;)
Remember that ..opqrstuvxyz
Hope it helps!!

I try many input data...
but I can`t find which is wrong .
plz help me

[Niaz]

You have done a very simple mistake. Just change your input taking methods, i.e. consider spaces. I hope you got my point !

Thanks for trying my problem.

[kakashi]

thanks......
I try to change input taking methods......
using getline and it does work...

Here is my code:

int sum1 , sum2 , i , j , temp[3] , temp2;

float ratio , one , two;

sum1 = 0;
sum2 = 0;

for(i=0 ; name1[i] ; i++)

}

sum2 = temp[0] + temp[1] + temp[2] ;

}

}


one = (float) sum1;
two = (float) sum2;

if(one > two) ratio = two/one ;
else ratio = one/two ;

printf("%.2f %%\n", ratio*100.0);


}

}







It is giving WA.
Please help me.
