hdu 1033 (bit masking, utilization of switch, '\0' as end of c string)

bit masking is very common on the lower level code.

#include <cstdio>
#include <algorithm>

#define MAXSIZE 205

char line[MAXSIZE];

int main() {
    //freopen("input.txt","r",stdin);
    int x,y, dir; // (dir&3) 0,1,2,3 -- right,up,left,down
    char *p;
    while(scanf("%s",line)!=EOF) {
        puts("300 420 moveto\n310 420 lineto");
        x=310, y=420, dir=0;
        for(p=line;*p;++p) {
            if(*p=='A') { --dir; }
            else { ++dir; }
            switch(dir&3) {
            case 0: x+=10; break;
            case 1: y+=10; break;
            case 2: x-=10; break;
            case 3: y-=10; break;
            }
            printf("%d %d lineto\n",x,y);
        }
        puts("stroke\nshowpage");
    }
    return 0;
}
