ACODE - Alphacode |
Alice and Bob need to send secret messages to each other and are discussing ways to encode their messages:
Alice: “Let’s just use a very simple code: We’ll assign ‘A’ the code word 1, ‘B’ will be 2, and so on down to ‘Z’ being assigned 26.”
Bob: “That’s a stupid code, Alice. Suppose I send you the word ‘BEAN’ encoded as 25114. You could decode that in many different ways!”
Alice: “Sure you could, but what words would you get? Other than ‘BEAN’, you’d get ‘BEAAD’, ‘YAAD’, ‘YAN’, ‘YKD’ and ‘BEKD’. I think you would be able to figure out the correct decoding. And why would you send me the word ‘BEAN’ anyway?”
Bob: “OK, maybe that’s a bad example, but I bet you that if you got a string of length 5000 there would be tons of different decodings and with that many you would find at least two different ones that would make sense.”
Alice: “How many different decodings?”
Bob: “Jillions!”
For some reason, Alice is still unconvinced by Bob’s argument, so she requires a program that will determine how many decodings there can be for a given string using her code.
Input
Input will consist of multiple input sets. Each set will consist of a single line of at most 5000 digits representing a valid encryption (for example, no line will begin with a 0). There will be no spaces between the digits. An input line of ‘0’ will terminate the input and should not be processed.
Output
For each input set, output the number of possible decodings for the input string. All answers will be within the range of a 64 bit signed integer.
Example
Input: 25114 1111111111 3333333333 0 Output: 6 89 1

Guys chill There are NO invalid inputs that output zero.At least my code doesn't print any zeros. Accepted 0.00 :D Last edit: 2016-06-09 19:59:32 |

101 - 1 @sobriquet nice test cases |

i dont think 2002 is a valid input. some examples of input with 0s are: 101 = 1 {10, 1} 1011 = 2 {10,1,1; 10,11} |

Okay, so, here's the deal : For the input 2002, 20 is a valid 'T' and 02 is a valid 'B'. So answer is one. This is insane, since encoding 'TB' will give 202 and not 2002. 2002 is hence an invalid input and answer should then be 0. However, test cases contain such inputs and expect 1 as the output, leading to categorizing correct solutions as WAs. |

AC in one go! Some answers: 200202 = 1 101010 = 1 note: 01, 02 etc is not counted(dont know why)! |

what will be the output when the entered string is "260" ? |

Weak test data N^2 DP passes even if 2nd dimension is not needed , this problem needs some tweaks |

Zero matters everywhere! :D |
