back to boardProblem definition Just an alert: Are you aware that there are multiple solutions, e.g.: from the sample input: Input: 4 1011 Output 1: 1001 Output 2: 1111 My issue is that you don't mention anything about this in the problem definition -- i.e. is any of the possible solutions valid?

Yes, no I noticed it in the problem definition. It is said: "1. Any (but only one) symbol 0 is replaced by 1." Excuse me, you all. Pave; but there still can be multiple solutions for some inputs I guess the test data will have only one correct answer Re: I don't think so. I will try to proove this for you. If you have a word one character shorter than expected, then your ONLY choice is to insert a character somewhere. If you have a word one character longer than expected, then your ONLY choice is to delete a character somewhere. If the word is the length expected, then if it has its property, in order to change a character from it and preserve its property, you have to change a bit one to bit zero at position n+1, but you don't have such a bit. If the word is the length expected and its property is broken: you need to convert bit one to bit zero at position k*(n+1) + (sum of positions of 1s in the broken word) % (n+1), but since you don't have bits with numbers greater than n, then your only solution is k=0, which makes: (wrong bit position) = (sum of positons of 1s in the broken word) % (n+1). Let's name (sum of positions of 1s) "prop". The first case: If we insert a 1 in position "p" and there are "k" 1s after this position, we increase "prop" by (k+p). If we insert a 0 in position "p" and there are "k" 1s after this position, we increase "prop" by (k). If the first case has more than one solutions, then there are more than one solutions to the following equation: prop % (n+1) = k + i*p where "i" is the bit we insert ("0" or "1"). If there are multiple solutions: 1. i = 0 and k remains the same changing p -> in this case we would insert "0" beneath other zeros and this would not give us multiple solutions, since it makes no difference whether we would inser a "0" between the first and second 0s, or between the m-th and the (m+1)-st. 2. i = 1 and k + p = const -> this means: decreasing p by one increases k by one. This is the case when we move through a sequence of 1s and it makes no difference at wich position we would insert "1" (just like in "1."). Second case: This is much like the first case, and I would leave it for you. Enjoy, Pavel Re: but there still can be multiple solutions for some inputs what do you say?????? 1000 can be both 1001 and 0000 which should be in output????

(such as 1000 for n=4) so we can change one bit from 1 to 0 (such as first bit in 1000) and also we can change another bit from 0 to 1 (such as 4th bit in 1000)... and both of those work gives us correct answers (0000 and 1001) are both correct. so i think Ural grader should accept all answers... but... what is wrong with my prog? see webboard... thanks Aidin_n7 |
