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.

AC的C++语言程序如下:
/* UVA1594 UVALive4723 Ducci Sequence */
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
vector<int> v, zero;
set< vector<int>> s;
int main()
{
int t, n;
scanf("%d", &t);
while(t--) {
v.clear();
zero.clear();
s.clear();
int a;
scanf("%d", &n);
for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
scanf("%d", &a);
v.push_back(a);
zero.push_back(0);
}
s.insert(v);
for(;;) {
if(v == zero) {
puts("ZERO");
break;
}
int a0 = abs(v[0] - v[1]);
for(int i=1; i<n; i++)
v[i] = abs(v[i] - v[(i + 1) % n]);
v[0] = a0;
if(s.count(v)) {
puts("LOOP");
break;
} else
s.insert(v);
}
}
return 0;
