WA #8

Posted by Lightweight! Lightweight baby! 10 Aug 2004 03:12

I get WA #8 and I suppose it's because of the precision.
I tried rotating everything so that the mirror becomes (0,0) -> (L,0) actually using sin and cos and got WA #8.
I tried finding out the relative coordonates without actually using rotations (using distances) and got WA at even lower tests (4 or 5).
Can anybody help me with some hints? Should i try it in pascal with the extended type? Or anybody that got AC in C please help.

I used long arithmetics (+)

All calculations can be done in integers. 100-digit numbers are quite enough.

But don't you need sqrt (and maybe division too)? Or you did those on large numbers as well?

I don't need division and sqrt, only addition, subtraction and multiplication.

I got it now. Thank you (-)

I've got AC without long number arithmetics - just don't use rotation (-)

Didn't work for me (+)

I tried using double and no rotations. Actually the exact operations i did on long nombers and got AC, but on double (only add, sub and mul). It didn't work. Maybe with pascal's extended it does.

How?

AC. Just trouble.
