It‘s hard to construct a problem that‘s so easy that everyone will get it, yet still difficult enough to be worthy of some respect. Usually, we err on one side or the other. How simple can a problem really be?
Here, as in Celebrity Jepoardy, questions and answers are a bit
confused, and, because the participants are elebrities, there’s a real
need to make the challenges simple. Your program needs to prepare a
question to be solved --- an equation to be solved --- given the answer.
Specifically, you have to write a program which finds the simplest
possible equation to be solved given the answer, considering all
possible equations using the standard mathematical symbols in the usual
manner. In this context, simplest can be defined unambiguously several
different ways leading to the same path of resolution. For now, find the
equation whose transformation into the desired answer requires the
least effort.
For example, given the answer X = 2, you might create the equation 9
- X = 7. Alternately, you could build the system X > 0; X^2 = 4.
These may not be the simplest possible equations. Solving these
mind-scratchers might be hard for a celebrity.
For
each input line, print the simplest system of equations which would to
lead to the provided solution, respecting the use of space exactly as in
the input.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>
#define REP(i, s, n) for(int i = s; i <= n; i ++)
#define REP_(i, s, n) for(int i = n; i >= s; i --)
using namespace std;
char s[50];
int l;
int main(){
while(gets(s + 1)){
REP(i, 1, strlen(s + 1)) cout << s[i]; cout << endl;
}
return 0;
