I am having a problem here, this is the question, this is how far i got, is
there a better way to do this??
It is a well-known fact that behind every good comet is a UFO. These UFOs
often come to collect loyal supporters from here on Earth. Unfortunately,
they only have room to pick up one group of followers on each trip. They
do, however, let the groups know ahead of time which will be picked up for
each comet by a clever scheme: they pick a name for the comet which, along
with the name of the group, can be used to determine if it is a particular
group's turn to go (who do you think names the comets?). The details of the
matching scheme are given below; your job is to write a program which takes
the names of a group and a comet and then determines whether the group
should go with the UFO behind that comet.
Both the name of the group and the name of the comet are converted into a
number in the following manner: the final number is just the product of all
the letters in the name, where "A" is 1 and "Z" is 26. For instance, the
group "USACO" would be 21 * 19 * 1 * 3 * 15 = 17955. If the group's number
mod 47 is the same as the comet's number mod 47, then you need to tell the
group to get ready! (Remember that "a mod b" is the remainder left over
after dividing a by b; 34 mod 10 is 4.)
Write a program which reads in the name of the comet and the name of the
group and figures out whether according to the above scheme the names are a
match, printing "GO" if they match and "STAY" if not. The names of the
groups and the comets will be a string of capital letters with no spaces or
punctuation, up to 6 characters long.
Examples:
InputOutput
COMETQ
HVNGAT
GO
ABSTAR
USACO
STAY
PROGRAM NAME: rideThis means that you fill in your header with:
PROG: rideINPUT FORMATLine 1:An upper case character string of length 1..6
that is the name of the comet.Line 2:An upper case character string of
length 1..6 that is the name of the group.
*NOTE*: The input file has a newline at the end of each line but does not
have a "return". Sometimes, programmers code for the Windows paradigm of
"return" followed by "newline"; don't do that! Use simple input routines
like "readln" (for Pascal) and, for C/C++, "fscanf" and "fid>>string".
SAMPLE INPUT (file ride.in)
COMETQ
HVNGAT
OUTPUT FORMATA single line containing either the word "GO" or the word
"STAY".SAMPLE OUTPUT (file ride.out)
GO
