Description
A Ducci sequence is a sequence of n-tuples of integers. Given an n-tuple of integers (a1; a2; · · · ; an),the next n-tuple in the sequence is formed by taking the absolute differences of neighboring integers: (a1; a2; · · · ; an) ->(|a1 - a2|; |a2 - a3|; · · · ;|an - a1|) Ducci sequences either reach a tuple of zeros or fall into a periodic loop. For example, the 4-tuple sequence starting with 8,11,2,7 takes 5 steps to reach the zeros tuple: (8; 11; 2; 7) -> (3; 9; 5; 1) -> (6; 4; 4; 2) -> (2; 0; 2; 4) -> (2; 2; 2; 2) -> (0; 0; 0; 0): The 5-tuple sequence starting with 4,2,0,2,0 enters a loop after 2 steps: (4; 2; 0; 2; 0) ->(2; 2; 2; 2; 4) -> (0,0,0,2,2) -> (0; 0; 2; 0; 2) -> (0; 2; 2; 2; 2) -> (2; 0; 0; 0; 2) ->(2; 0; 0; 2; 0) -> (2; 0; 2; 2; 2) -> (2; 2; 0; 0; 0) -> (0; 2; 0; 0; 2) -> (2; 2; 0; 2; 2) -> (0; 2; 2; 0; 0) ->(2; 0; 2; 0; 0) -> (2; 2; 2; 0; 2) -> (0; 0; 2; 2; 0) -> (0; 2; 0; 2; 0) -> (2; 2; 2; 2; 0) -> (0,0,0,2,2) -> · · · Given an n-tuple of integers, write a program to decide if the sequence is reaching to a zeros tuple or a periodic loop.
Input
Your program is to read the input from standard input. The input consists of T test cases. The number of test cases T is given in the first line of the input. Each test case starts with a line containing an integer n (3 ≤ n ≤ 15), which represents the size of a tuple in the Ducci sequences. In the following line, n integers are given which represents the n-tuple of integers. The range of integers are from 0 to 1,000. You may assume that the maximum number of steps of a Ducci sequence reaching zeros tuple or making a loop does not exceed 1,000.
Output
Your program is to write to standard output. Print exactly one line for each test case. Print ‘LOOP’ if the Ducci sequence falls into a periodic loop, print ‘ZERO’ if the Ducci sequence reaches to a zeros tuple.
Sample Input
4 4
8 11 2 7
5
4 2 0 2 0
7
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6
1 2 3 1 2 3
Sample Output
ZERO
LOOP
ZERO
LOOP
解题思路:将产生的序列以string的形式作为key保存在map中,map的value是序列出现的次数。首先判断序列是否变为全0,若是则输出ZERO;若否,则继续判断:如果序列出现次数大于1,则判断序列循环了,输出LOOP
