Smart Frog

Please don't post source code here.

Can the admins tell the approximate size of input file ?

It would be really helpful, thank you.

Hi

In test case 2nd, only 4 numbers are highlighted whereas answer is given as 5. Is it correct?

IMO answer should be 4.

6  2
4 5 3 8
9 7 8 9
9 9 9 5

There are 5 numbers highlighted in the second case.

What are they?

I can see only 2, 3, 8, 5 only in my browser.

Ok Sorry,  I got it

why it exeeds time limit? I think here it is not because of the algo to solve the problem, but due to i/p o/p operations only. then again i may be wrong. But if printf scanf  these functions eat up a large chunk out of execution time, then many novices like me are out. My algo was O(N^3). but still it runs out of time. Is a algo of O(n^3) not optimum enough? 

@Mainak Biswas

Dude My O(MN log N) algo gets TLE.

Please do not discuss approaches to the problem.

Hi, I am getting NZEC error. I searched all the previous Forums in CodeChef, All the FAQs and Problem pages. I tried some of the suggestions mentioed there, but nothing worked out.Can you please help?

Thanks,

Abhijeet.

You might be having problems with Input / Output. Are you doing that in accordance with the input specifications ?

Hi Anirudha, I am doing it according to input specifications? I am testing my code using test cases mentioned here & few other test cases generated by me.

I am writing my code in C#2. Are there any specific guidelines for C#? I am reading input from Console & writing output to Console.

Thanks,

Abhijeet.

Please hepl me.. I am sure there is some issue with IO only as I am writing this in C#. That is why I see very less C# submissions & still very few successful C# submissions.

Thanks,

Abhijeet. 

There are other C#2 submissions which are not getting a NZEC. So, you are probably doing something wrong with the IO or somewhere else.

Hi...

i m new to CodechefThe code which i have submitted is working on my pc

but while submitting to u its saying Compilation error!!!

What could be the problem?

can we use any package in the JDK??

Waiting for the response 

Your class should be named as Main. You should check out www.codechef.com/help for a sample solution in java.

Hi,

previously i was able to see my last submission and able to download it. now that link is missing.

any reason that link has been removed?

This will be fixed in a couple of days.

 hi guys, i am new ti code chef.........

actually i wanted know do we generate the no. in the rectangular grid automatically... 

if  yes then plzz tell me how to do this ??

Take a look at the rand() function.

can the frog jump to any cell to the right which satify the condition or only to the immediate right?

Read the problem statement again. This has been explained in it.

my code is working perfectly but i am getting timed out.Other than changing cin &cout to printf & scanf,is there a better way to optimise a c++ code.

whether i have to give input for all the test cases once or

one by one for each test case

like  for(i=1tonumoftestcases)

{

       input

       output

}

It makes no difference whatsoever. All the judge does is have your program write all output to a file then compares that with the correct file.

@santosh There are lots of ways to optimize c++ code :)

@ravi Re-read the problem statement. Your question has been answered there.

Hi..

in the problem it says to the right...does it mean immediate right or to any of the cells to the right as long as the other constraint is met?

The latter.

 hi,

there is just one thing about this smart frog problem that the frog starts the game from any cell he chooses ( as mentioned).. so the output must be initial cell position specific.. all the solutions n the one in the sample i/o depicts the maximum of all the cases.. shouldn it be the other way???
