[numbers] Output format
OK, we know that the input file will contain random(5,50) "problems", each consisting of seven numbers in a line.

But i have doubts about the output format (with checkme=0). Should I output also 5-50 line, each with the number of posible solutions to the problem in the same line in the input file? e.g., as in:
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. $problems = file($inputfile);
  3. foreach($problems as $problem)
  4. {
  5.   // calculation
  6.   
  7.   echo $number_of_solutions."n";
  8. }


Or should I output another format?

Your script should simply output the number of distinct ways it was able to come to the target numbers. This is the TOTAL. Figure out how many ways you are able to come to the target number for each line in the input file and add that together and output it. Do not output anything else besides the total number.


A single number is all you will output.

[numbers] RE: Output format
does the results should be returned as TXT or as HTML output? on both (checkme && input)?

also, the checkme=1 would call a html form to get the numbers entered? the returned values shoud appear on the same browser? if so, as txt or as html?

like this;
1,2,3,6n
1+2+3n
2*3n
1*2*3n

or like this:
1,2,3,6<br>
1+2+3<br>
2*3<br>
1*2*3<br>

For the checkme=1, yes you should display a HTML form. That form should display the answers in the same browser. I am not picky about those display results.

As for your first question, all you should output is a single number. No HTML tags or anything else.

so, I assume the results from the checkme=1 will have html tags (<br> at least) and the input=input.txt results would be only separated by n

this is correct?

I am not picky about the checkme=1 output. Display it as you will, as long as I can figure out what it is.

As for the other way, there should be no n, no <br>, NOTHING EXCEPT A SINGLE NUMBER!

Please read this quote from the rules again:

Quote:
Figure out how many ways you are able to come to the target number for each line in the input file and add that together and output it. Do not output anything else besides the total number.

Does it also apply to the logfile format, or do you want an specific format?

It says in the contest rules:

Quote:
This log file should contain a line read in from the input file, then all solutions you find (each on a seperate line). The log file will then contain the next line from the input file, and all its solutions, and so on. This log file should be output to the directory your script resides in and will be called {inputfile}.out.

As long as you follow what is in the rules about the log file, you will be fine. I am not going to be picky about one person showing:

8 + 9 = 17

and another:

8+9=17

That doesn't matter to me....

How about showing it in post-fix or pre-fix notation?

8 9 +

+ 8 9

What about referring to another file in the log (e.g. each line of the log saying "see line #235433 of result_table.txt")
