Basic Divison

Problem code: A102

  • All Submissions

All submissions for this problem are available.

Here you need to play a board game. The board has N places labeled as 1,2,..N. Each place is marked with either + or -. The position 1 is always marked +.
The playing piece is initially placed at 1. The game undergoes in rounds. In each round a single die is thrown which determines the no of paces to move. However the following rules are to be kept in mind.

1)If the position of the piece is labeled j+ and the dice reads d,such that j+d<=N, then the piece moves forward d steps, otherwise it remains at j.
2)If the position of the piece is labelled j- and the dice shows d,such that j-d>=1,then the piece moves backwards d steps, otherwise it remains at j.
Finally the game is decided on the basis of the score which keeps the count of the number of times the piece reaches position 1.

Input::

The first line should contain 2 integers specifying the number of positions on board an the number of throws from the die. The next lines contain either + or -, depending on the pattern of the board
The next lines that follow,contain a single integer d indicating a valid throw such that 1<=d<=6 indicating the move on the die.

Output:

Single integer indicating the score

This is very Sad, First the

This is very Sad, First the "water problem" was of Palindrome Number..I submitted my code for that...Got a Runtime Exception..Now the Problem is Changed...And i Have 1 Penalty Cause of wrong Problem statment :/ ! Admins have a look.

@Alok- i got a penalty

Illusion03 @ 15 Apr 2012 12:02 AM
@Alok- i got a penalty because the previous Problem statement was wrong and that got replaced by this one !

where is the ranking

where is the ranking page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Illusion3 we have considered

solas_143 @ 15 Apr 2012 03:13 PM
@Illusion3 we have considered ur request there will be no penalty to anyone who entered code for the wrong problem before..

@All This is the ranking

CodeChef - A Platform for Aspiring Programmers

CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming and programming contests. At CodeChef we work hard to revive the geek in you by hosting a programming contest at the start of the month and another smaller programming challenge in the middle of the month. We also aim to have training sessions and discussions related to algorithms, binary search, technicalities like array size and the likes. Apart from providing a platform for programming competitions, CodeChef also has various algorithm tutorials and forum discussions to help those who are new to the world of computer programming.

Practice Section - A Place to hone your 'Computer Programming Skills'

Try your hand at one of our many practice problems and submit your solution in a language of your choice. Our programming contest judge accepts solutions in over 35+ programming languages. Preparing for coding contests were never this much fun! Receive points, and move up through the CodeChef ranks. Use our practice section to better prepare yourself for the multiple programming challenges that take place through-out the month on CodeChef.

Compete - Monthly Programming Contests and Cook-offs

Here is where you can show off your computer programming skills. Take part in our 10 day long monthly coding contest and the shorter format Cook-off coding contest. Put yourself up for recognition and win great prizes. Our programming contests have prizes worth up to Rs.20,000 and $700lots more CodeChef goodies up for grabs.

Discuss

Are you new to computer programming? Do you need help with algorithms? Then be a part of CodeChef's Forums and interact with all our programmers - they love helping out other programmers and sharing their ideas. Have discussions around binary search, array size, branch-and-bound, Dijkstra's algorithm, Encryption algorithm and more by visiting the CodeChef Forums and Wiki section.

CodeChef Community

As part of our Educational initiative, we give institutes the opportunity to associate with CodeChef in the form of Campus Chapters. Hosting online programming competitions is not the only feature on CodeChef. You can also host a coding contest for your institute on CodeChef, organize an algorithm event and be a guest author on our blog.

Go For Gold

The Go for Gold Initiative was launched about a year after CodeChef was incepted, to help prepare Indian students for the ACM ICPC World Finals competition. In the run up to the ACM ICPC competition, the Go for Gold initiative uses CodeChef as a platform to train students for the ACM ICPC competition via multiple warm up contests. As an added incentive the Go for Gold initiative is also offering over Rs.8 lacs to the Indian team that beats the 29th position at the ACM ICPC world finals. Find out more about the Go for Gold and the ACM ICPC competition here.
