Hello, I'm trying to solve the 3. task of the qualification round 2020.
I'm using Python3 to solve this problem.
When I'm submiting my code it says "Sample Failed: WA".
This is my code:
number_of_cases = int(input())
for case_number in range(1, number_of_cases + 1):
appointments = int(input())
dates = []
solution = ""
J_works_till, C_works_till = 0, 0
possible = True
# collect the time
for appointment in range(appointments):
dates.append(list(map(int, input().split(" "))))
# Sort the dates
dates = sorted(dates, key=lambda x: x[0])
for date in dates:
# Can Jamie handle the task?
if J_works_till <= date[0]:
J_works_till = date[1]
solution += "J"
# Can Cameron handle the task?
elif C_works_till <= date[0]:
C_works_till = date[1]
solution += "C"
# Nope
else:
possible = False
break
if possible:
print("Case #%d: %s" % (case_number, solution))
else:
print("Case #%d: IMPOSSIBLE" % case_number)
I tried the examples of the task and I'm getting the following output:
Case #1: JCJ
Case #2: IMPOSSIBLE
Case #3: JCCJC
Case #4: JJ
As you can see, my third solution is a little bit different than in the
examples (there's "JCCJJ"). I tried to compare it with the times but it
seems to be fine (or I was just stupid).
If not, do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Sorry for my bad english... I hope that you can still understand me ;-;
Cheers!
