HANGOVER - Hangover |
How far can you make a stack of cards overhang a table? If you have one card, you can create a maximum overhang of half a card length. (We're assuming that the cards must be perpendicular to the table.) With two cards you can make the top card overhang the bottom one by half a card length, and the bottom one overhang the table by a third of a card length, for a total maximum overhang of 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 card lengths. In general you can make n cards overhang by 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/(n + 1) card lengths, where the top card overhangs the second by 1/2, the second overhangs tha third by 1/3, the third overhangs the fourth by 1/4, etc., and the bottom card overhangs the table by 1/(n + 1). This is illustrated in the figure below.
Input
The input consists of one or more test cases, followed by a line containing the number 0.00 that signals the end of the input. Each test case is a single line containing a positive floating-point number c whose value is at least 0.01 and at most 5.20; c will contain exactly three digits.
Output
For each test case, output the minimum number of cards necessary to achieve an overhang of at least c card lengths. Use the exact output format shown in the examples.
Input: 1.00 3.71 0.04 5.19 0.00 Output: 3 card(s) 61 card(s) 1 card(s) 273 card(s)

For all those who are talking about using float, you only need float if you are doing it a slow way/with a slow language. |

Use float for all variables otherwise it will give TLE. |

don't think too much,just use two while loops,take every variable in float,AC in 1st submission after wasting 1 hour:: |

what's the answer for 1.45 ? is it 5 or 6 cards? |

Don't forget to add the extra crap after every case in the output |

sometimes a while loop is enough to get AC . PS: i am not talking about test cases :P |
