Description
In your job at Albatross Circus Management (yes, it's run by a bunch of clowns), you have just finished writing a program whose output is a list of names in nondescending order by length (so that each name is at least as long as the one preceding it). However, your boss does not like the way the output looks, and instead wants the output to appear more symmetric, with the shorter strings at the top and bottom and the longer strings in the middle. His rule is that each pair of names belongs on opposite ends of the list, and the first name in the pair is always in the top part of the list. In the first example set below, Bo and Pat are the first pair, Jean and Kevin the second pair, etc.
Input
The input consists of one or more sets of strings, followed by a final line containing only the value 0. Each set starts with a line containing an integer, n, which is the number of strings in the set, followed by n strings, one per line, sorted in nondescending order by length. None of the strings contain spaces. There is at least one and no more than 15 strings per set. Each string is at most 25 characters long.
Output
For each input set print "SET n" on a line, where n starts at 1, followed by the output set as shown in the sample output.
Sample Input
7 Bo Pat Jean Kevin Claude William Marybeth 6 Jim Ben Zoe Joey Frederick Annabelle 5 John Bill Fran Stan Cece 0
Sample Output
SET 1 Bo Jean Claude Marybeth William Kevin Pat SET 2 Jim Zoe Frederick Annabelle Joey Ben SET 3 John Fran Cece Stan Bill 这道题其实很简单,一种做法是递归的方法,另一种方法是非递归的方法。 道理很简单,如果采用非递归的方法,就是按照s[1]s[3]s[5]...s[2*i-1],奇数列先输出, 然后输出偶数列s[2]s[4]s[6]...s[2*i], 这里的i并不是要输入的数字,这是为了表示奇数和偶数引进来的。其实用不到。 非递归方法代码:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string s[100];
int n, i, j = 0;
while( cin >> n && n != 0 )
{
for( i = 1; i <= n; i++ )
cin >> s[i];
cout << "SET " << ++j << endl;
for( i = 1; i <= n; i += 2 )
cout << s[i] << endl;
i = ( n % 2 == 0 ) ? ( i - 1 ) : ( i - 3 );
for( ; i >= 1; i -= 2 )
cout << s[i] << endl;
}
}
递归方法代码:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
void print( int n )
{
string s;
cin >> s;
cout << s << endl; //输入和输出第一个字符串
if( --n )
{
cin >> s; //输入当前组第二个字符串,并通过递归压入系统栈区
if( --n )
print(n);
cout << s << endl; //回溯
}
}
int main()
{
int n, loop = 0;
while(cin >> n && n)
{
cout << "SET " << ++loop << endl;
print(n);
}
return 0;
}
