Is there space between Input?

Illusion03 @ 14 Apr 2012 03:19 PM
Is there space between Input? Like 14 12 13 2 5 or is it 14121325?

"_2001" in the sample input

cyberax @ 14 Apr 2012 05:22 PM
"_2001" in the sample input should be "#2001", right ? @illusion03: without spaces, the problem would be undecidable, as 11 could mean "AA" or "K".

Yes...there is space between

solas_143 @ 14 Apr 2012 06:52 PM
Yes...there is space between 14 12 13 2 ....!!..

From the problem: 5)Each

tec @ 14 Apr 2012 09:21 PM
From the problem: 5)Each letter was converted to a number that is the sum of its base number and it's position in the word. But in the example, only base number is considered. Which is the case?

wt's the size of each

hariprasath @ 14 Apr 2012 09:53 PM
wt's the size of each message??

@solas_143, You are right,

cupidvogel @ 14 Apr 2012 09:59 PM
@solas_143, You are right, although the question mentions ")Each letter was converted to a number that is the sum of its base number and it's position in the word", in the example only base number is considered. So admins, kindly elaborate. And yes, I have read the problem statement umpteen times, so don't ask me to do it..

Can the message have some

cupidvogel @ 14 Apr 2012 10:00 PM
Can the message have some no-digits follow a # sign, like #, ?

@All Yes u may consider only

solas_143 @ 14 Apr 2012 11:00 PM
@All Yes u may consider only the base values and ignore its position in the word

@cupidvogel For Speacial

solas_143 @ 14 Apr 2012 11:02 PM
@cupidvogel For Speacial characters use them as it is in the program except for underscore(_) and hash(#) They are not allowed to be used

chan00 @ 15 Apr 2012 01:22 AM

chan00 @ 15 Apr 2012 05:37 AM

@chan00: --- cupidvogel @ 14

cyberax @ 15 Apr 2012 06:58 AM
@chan00: --- cupidvogel @ 14 Apr 2012 10:00 PM "Can the message have some no-digits follow a # sign, like #, ?" --- solas_143 @ 14 Apr 2012 11:02 PM "@cupidvogel For Speacial characters use them as it is in the program except for underscore(_) and hash(#) They are not allowed to be used"

@chan00 # 12 will only print

solas_143 @ 15 Apr 2012 09:22 AM
@chan00 # 12 will only print L because there should be no space in between. And as for #-23 it would be -W not 23as the number does bot has an immediate hash before it.

@chirayu...if after # 27

solas_143 @ 15 Apr 2012 09:35 AM
@chirayu...if after # 27 comes than it will consider as 27 ..but we haven't include test cases like 27 .... only alphabet form 1 to 26 will be consider in upper case..!.

I m sure my code is

chirayu @ 15 Apr 2012 12:26 PM
I m sure my code is perfect!!! Dont know why i am getting WA!! Please check this id:980940??

input data problem?? i did

satya_patel @ 15 Apr 2012 01:38 PM
input data problem?? i did with gets, getc(stdin) and getchar but when i use fflush getting TLE when i use dummy variable runtime error. i am sure for every test case the input line is not terminated with new line..................the easy problems both decoder-1 ans 2 sucks because of the input data.....................:(((

please check my submission

chan00 @ 15 Apr 2012 01:54 PM
please check my submission @admin id -981090. i have done exactly what said in problem. this time my problem ran for few seconds only and then wrong submission . I think satya_patel is right some "n" problem but now i have used strlen() as delimiter for every line i scan using gets() method @admin please review this problem test cases as it has only 10 submission and i have solved all in 1st submission but getting WA for only this one please check :)

@chan00 we have around 30

solas_143 @ 15 Apr 2012 02:58 PM
@chan00 we have around 30 successful submissions for this problem. I cannot help u with any language specific functions as this is an open competition. Moreover make sure that ur output and input are in the same format as mentioned. Slightest discrepancy and the automatic testing system will render ur answers as wrong.

@satya_patel These questions

solas_143 @ 15 Apr 2012 03:02 PM
@satya_patel These questions have been uploaded after our technical team has solved it with the currently given input output set. Also there are others who have already solved. Moreover i cannot help u with any language specific problems.

@admin : please check how

chan00 @ 16 Apr 2012 06:22 PM
@admin : please check how come many people have the same solution . many of them have exact same solution. I think there is some cheating please check ,

@solas_143 : I ran the code

chan00 @ 16 Apr 2012 06:59 PM
@solas_143 : I ran the code submitted here by many of them like karlheinxjing , mafia111, illusion, innocent_Avi etc for input given in the question and it gives me solution : NUMBER_16ENCIL APRIL8,#2001 which is WRONG WRONG WRONG........mind it.... With my submission i am getting right but my solution never got accepted. Too sad most of the people who solved it have copied solution from here : http://tausiq.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/decoder/..... MOREOVER if u check CYBERAX solution for the test case #_1#_2#_3 according to you as u told me above it should output : A B C but run this on cyberax solution you will get 1 2 3 which is WRONG WRONG WRONG.......... TOO Buggy contest SAD :(

@chan00: All of this

rushilpaul @ 16 Apr 2012 10:47 PM
@chan00: All of this contest's problems have either too many language errors or too many errors in question or both. This contest is not worth anybody's time.

@rushilpaul : yeah you are

chan00 @ 16 Apr 2012 11:24 PM
@rushilpaul : yeah you are right.

@chan00: as explained by

cyberax @ 17 Apr 2012 12:56 AM
@chan00: as explained by solas_143, "#_1#_2#_3" is not a valid input, because # is intended to be followed by numbers. that's why my program does not handle the test case you provide.

python user got it correct by

lelouch @ 17 Apr 2012 05:30 AM
python user got it correct by directly printing print 'NUMBER 2 PENCIL'
