Description

A narrow street is lined with tall buildings. An x foot long ladder is rested at the base of the building on the right side of the street and leans on the building on the left side. A y foot long ladder is rested at the base of the building on the left side of the street and leans on the building on the right side. The point where the two ladders cross is exactly c feet from the ground. How wide is the street? 

Input

Each line of input contains three positive floating point numbers giving the values of x, y, and c.

Output

For each line of input, output one line with a floating point number giving the width of the street in feet, with three decimal digits in the fraction.

//理解二分边界处理+几何推导，这个就不难了，重点还是在边界

总结：做了几道类似的之后，二分对精度的处理都是，循环条件用精度划分，在二分时，直接left=mid，这样去处理

#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;
double x,y,c;
bool f(double w)
{
	double a,b;
	a=sqrt(x*x-w*w);
	b=sqrt(y*y-w*w);
	if(a*b>=c*(a+b))
		return 0;
	else
		return 1;
}
int main()
{
	while(cin>>x>>y>>c)
	{
		double left=0,right=x>y?y:x,mid;       //意思是以最短的楼梯作为街宽的最大然后进行二分
		while(right-left>1e-4)
		{
			mid=left+(right-left)/2.0;
			if(f(mid)==0)
				left=mid;
			else
				right=mid;	
		}
		printf("%.3lf\n",left);
	}
	return 0;
}
