【USACO】beads

题目：

You have a necklace of N red, white, or blue beads (3<=N<=350) some of which are red, others blue, and others white, arranged at random. Here are two examples for n=29:

                1 2                               1 2

            r b b r                           b r r b

          r         b                       b         b

         r           r                     b           r

        r             r                   w             r

       b               r                 w               w

      b                 b               r                 r

      b                 b               b                 b

      b                 b               r                 b

       r               r                 b               r

        b             r                   r             r

         b           r                     r           r

           r       r                         r       b

             r b r                             r r w

            Figure A                         Figure B

                        r red bead

                        b blue bead

                        w white bead

The beads considered first and second in the text that follows have been marked in the picture.

The configuration in Figure A may be represented as a string of b's and r's, where b represents a blue bead and r represents a red one, as follows: brbrrrbbbrrrrrbrrbbrbbbbrrrrb .

Suppose you are to break the necklace at some point, lay it out straight, and then collect beads of the same color from one end until you reach a bead of a different color, and do the same for the other end (which might not be of the same color as the beads collected before this).

Determine the point where the necklace should be broken so that the most number of beads can be collected.

Example

For example, for the necklace in Figure A, 8 beads can be collected, with the breaking point either between bead 9 and bead 10 or else between bead 24 and bead 25.

In some necklaces, white beads had been included as shown in Figure B above. When collecting beads, a white bead that is encountered may be treated as either red or blue and then painted with the desired color. The string that represents this configuration can include any of the three symbols r, b and w.

Write a program to determine the largest number of beads that can be collected from a supplied necklace.

 

这一道题做了一整天，更郁闷的是对完答案发现自己的方法太复杂了

我总是想着先把整个项链都染色成 red 或 blue 然后把每一段的相同颜色串的数量数出来 实际上可以每次只考虑一个缺口位置的局部信息就好了  不需要提前染色 也不需要将整个项链的所有相同颜色玻璃串的个数存起来 因为存起来后 对于rwb bwr的情况还是要单独分析

用到了一些小技巧：

1.环装一定会用到mod 不过一般都是数字超过了范围用模电 这个项链可能数到-1 、-2 需要自己定义一个新的有负数的mod 或者 把信息存储两遍这样 可以在第一遍存储的最后可以直接通过加法读取下一个存储的起始的玻璃珠信息

 

答案：思路最清楚的代码

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <assert.h>



#define MAXN 400



char necklace[MAXN];

int len;



/* 

 * Return n mod m.  The C % operator is not enough because

 * its behavior is undefined on negative numbers.

 */

int 

mod(int n, int m)

{

    while(n < 0)

    n += m;

    return n%m;

}



/*

 * Calculate number of beads gotten by breaking

 * before character p and going in direction dir,

 * which is 1 for forward and -1 for backward.

 */

int

nbreak(int p, int dir)

{

    char color;

    int i, n;



    color = 'w';



    /* Start at p if going forward, bead before if going backward */

    if(dir > 0)

    i = p;

    else

    i = mod(p-1, len);



    /* We use "n<len" to cut off loops that go around the whole necklace */

    for(n=0; n<len; n++, i=mod(i+dir, len)) {

    /* record which color we're going to collect */

    if(color == 'w' && necklace[i] != 'w')

        color = necklace[i];



    /* 

     * If we've chosen a color and see a bead

     * not white and not that color, stop 

     */

    if(color != 'w' && necklace[i] != 'w' && necklace[i] != color)

        break;

    }

    return n;

}



void

main(void)

{

    FILE *fin, *fout;

    int i, n, m;



    fin = fopen("beads.in", "r");

    fout = fopen("beads.out", "w");

    assert(fin != NULL && fout != NULL);



    fscanf(fin, "%d %s", &len, necklace);

    assert(strlen(necklace) == len);



    m = 0;

    for(i=0; i<len; i++) {

    n = nbreak(i, 1) + nbreak(i, -1);

    if(n > m)

        m = n;

    }



    /*

     * If the whole necklace can be gotten with a good

     * break, we'll sometimes count beads more than 

     * once.  this can only happen when the whole necklace

     * can be taken, when beads that can be grabbed from

     * the right of the break can also be grabbed from the left.

     */

    if(m > len)

    m = len;



    fprintf(fout, "%d\n", m);

    exit (0);

}

 

动态规划的答案我没怎么看还：

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <algorithm>



using namespace std;



FILE *in,*out;



int main () {

   in = fopen("beads.in", "r");

   out = fopen ("beads.out", "w");



   int n;

   char tmp[400], s[800];

   fscanf(in, "%d %s", &n, tmp);



   strcpy(s, tmp);

   strcat(s, tmp);



   int left[800][2], right[800][2];

   left[0][0] = left[0][1] = 0;



   for (int i=1; i<= 2 * n; i++){

       if (s[i - 1] == 'r'){

           left[i][0] = left[i - 1][0] + 1;

           left[i][1] = 0;

       } else if (s[i - 1] == 'b'){

           left[i][1] = left[i - 1][1] + 1;

           left[i][0] = 0;

       } else {

           left[i][0] = left[i - 1][0] + 1;

           left[i][1] = left[i - 1][1] + 1;

       }

     }



   right[2 * n][0] = right[2 * n][1] = 0;

   for (int i=2 * n - 1; i >= 0; i--){

       if (s[i] == 'r'){

           right[i][0] = right[i + 1][0] + 1;

           right[i][1] = 0;

       } else if (s[i] == 'b'){

           right[i][1] = right[i + 1][1] + 1;

           right[i][0] = 0;

       } else {

           right[i][0] = right[i + 1][0] + 1;

           right[i][1] = right[i + 1][1] + 1;

       }

   }



   int m = 0;

   for (int i=0; i<2 * n; i++)

       m = max(m, max(left[i][0], left[i][1]) + max(right[i][0], right[i][1]));

   m = min(m, n);

   fprintf(out, "%d\n", m);

   fclose(in); fclose(out);

   return 0;

}

 

简便的方案：

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

using namespace std;



int main() {

  fstream input, output;

  string inputFilename = "beads.in", outputFilename = "beads.out";  

  input.open(inputFilename.c_str(), ios::in);

  output.open(outputFilename.c_str(), ios::out);

  

  int n, max=0, current, state, i, j;

  string s;

  char c;

  

  input >> n >> s;

  s = s+s;

  for(i=0; i<n; i++) {

    c = (char) s[i];

    if(c == 'w')

      state = 0;

    else

      state = 1;

    j = i;

    current = 0;

    while(state <= 2) { 

      // dont go further in second string than starting position in first string

      while(j<n+i && (s[j] == c || s[j] == 'w')) { 

        current++;

        j++;

      } // while

      state++;

      c = s[j];

    } // while

    if(current > max)

      max = current;

  } // for

    

  output << max << endl;

  return 0;

} // main
