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

@rishabh_0100: thanks for this test cases 10101->1 1010 ->1 10110->1 226210->3 310->1 |

import sys sys.setrecursionlimit(10**6) Add these lines for python if you get NZEC error |

AC in one go thanks to all the comments! The only cases I almost forgot were the single digits |

I m getting wrong answer on submit when i try with Python? What to do? Only we need to try with C++? |

Take care whith cases '0' containing. 0's are allowed to be in the cases : ) |

Hey @stark_mark1: did you miss this "All answers will be within the range of a 64 bit signed integer." Last edit: 2020-07-17 11:33:08 |

don't solve this using python.....python doesn't have integer overflow....and the problem counts on this.... For example in python: '1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' output is 1454489111232772683678306641953 while in c++ its : -1674205151. The setter doesn't account for this....:-( Some modulus should have been put in. |

Ah, thanks for the people who helped with test cases. The problem doesn't specifies for cases like 03 or 04 which are invalid cases. So when they occur in numbers like 104 then we have only 1 correct combination: 10 and 4, it cannot be 1 and 04. Last edit: 2020-07-16 18:51:01 |

answer for some of the test cases: 10101->1 1010 ->1 10110->1 226210->3 310->1 |
