The government of a small but important country has decided that the alphabet needs to be streamlined and reordered. Uppercase letters will be eliminated. They will issue a royal decree in the form of a String of B and A characters. The first character in the decree specifies whether a must come ( B )Before b in the new alphabet or ( A )After b . The second character determines the relative placement of b and c , etc. So, for example, "BAA" means that a must come Before b , b must come After c , and c must come After d .
Any letters beyond these requirements are to be excluded, so if the decree specifies k comparisons then the new alphabet will contain the first k+1 lowercase letters of the current alphabet.
Create a class Alphabet that contains the method choices that takes the decree as input and returns the number of possible new alphabets that conform to the decree. If more than 1,000,000,000 are possible, return -1.
Definition
We have a group of N items (represented by integers from 1 to N), and we know that there is some total order defined for these items. You may assume that no two elements will be equal (for all a, b: a<b or b<a). However, it is expensive to compare two items. Your task is to make a number of comparisons, and then output the sorted order. The cost of determining if a < b is given by the bth integer of element a of costs (space delimited), which is the same as the ath integer of element b. Naturally, you will be judged on the total cost of the comparisons you make before outputting the sorted order. If your order is incorrect, you will receive a 0. Otherwise, your score will be opt/cost, where opt is the best cost anyone has achieved and cost is the total cost of the comparisons you make (so your score for a test case will be between 0 and 1). Your score for the problem will simply be the sum of your scores for the individual test cases.
Welcome to the Wrox Press C++ tutorial
"I hope you ll enjoy reading this tutorial with your portable, your work, or your home PC. It s a perfect companion to the Introduction to Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition manual and is a proven aid to understanding the C++ language. The material in this tutorial is adapted from my book Beginning Visual C++ 6.0, to provide you with a thorough grounding in pure C++. I ve been careful to address the new standards in C++ laid out by the ANSI and ISO committees and I encourage you to adopt these conventions so that your programs are maintainable for years to come.
The XML Toolbox converts MATLAB data types (such as double, char, struct, complex, sparse, logical) of any level of nesting to XML format and vice versa.
For example,
>> project.name = MyProject
>> project.id = 1234
>> project.param.a = 3.1415
>> project.param.b = 42
becomes with str=xml_format(project, off )
"<project>
<name>MyProject</name>
<id>1234</id>
<param>
<a>3.1415</a>
<b>42</b>
</param>
</project>"
On the other hand, if an XML string XStr is given, this can be converted easily to a MATLAB data type or structure V with the command V=xml_parse(XStr).
