Rescue

Description:
Angel was caught by the MOLIGPY! He was put in prison by Moligpy. The prison is described as a N * M (N, M <= 200) matrix. There are WALLs, ROADs, and GUARDs in the prison.

Angel's friends want to save Angel. Their task is: approach Angel. We assume that "approach Angel" is to get to the position where Angel stays. When there's a guard in the grid, we must kill him (or her?) to move into the grid. We assume that we moving up, down, right, left takes us 1 unit time, and killing a guard takes 1 unit time, too. And we are strong enough to kill all the guards.

You have to calculate the minimal time to approach Angel. (We can move only UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT, to the neighbor grid within bound, of course.)
Input

First line contains two integers stand for N and M.
Then N lines follows, every line has M characters. "." stands for road, "a" stands for Angel, and "r" stands for each of Angel's friend.
Process to the end of the file.

Output

For each test case, your program should output a single integer, standing for the minimal time needed. If such a number does no exist, you should output a line containing "Poor ANGEL has to stay in the prison all his Life."

Problem solving:
注意是多组输入,这里用到了运算符重载和优先队列,这两个东西最近在刷题的过程中出现的频率很高。
因为这道题中r可能有多个所以我们用a去寻找r,用结构体存点的坐标,用优先队列存结构体实现BFS,先定义一个ans变量用来存放答案,初始化为-1,如果可以找到符合条件的点就更新ans的值并结束查找。查找结束之后,如果ans仍是-1,那么输出Poor ANGEL has to stay in the prison all his Life.,否则就输出ans的值,查找过程就是bfs的模板,但是用的是优先队列。我们遇到X的时候只需要+2即可。其他的判断条件都挺好理解,可以直接看代码。

结构体如果想套到优先队列中就需要运算符重载。运算符重载的方法有好几种,这里我就会这一种。

Code

    while(!q.empty())
    {
        mid=q.top();
        q.pop();
        if(mid.x==xx&&mid.y==yy)
        {
            ans=mid.step;
            break;
        }
        for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
        {
            mmp.x=mid.x+d[i][0];
            mmp.y=mid.y+d[i][1];

Red and Black

Description:
There is a rectangular room, covered with square tiles. Each tile is colored either red or black. A man is standing on a black tile. From a tile, he can move to one of four adjacent tiles. But he can't move on red tiles, he can move only on black tiles.

Write a program to count the number of black tiles which he can reach by repeating the moves described above.
Input

The input consists of multiple data sets. A data set starts with a line containing two positive integers W and H; W and H are the numbers of tiles in the x- and y- directions, respectively. W and H are not more than 20.
There are H more lines in the data set, each of which includes W characters. Each character represents the color of a tile as follows.
'.' - a black tile
'#' - a red tile
'@' - a man on a black tile(appears exactly once in a data set)

Output

For each data set, your program should output a line which contains the number of tiles he can reach from the initial tile (including itself).

Battle City

Description:
Many of us had played the game "Battle city" in our childhood, and some people (like me) even often play it on computer now.


What we are discussing is a simple edition of this game. Given a map that consists of empty spaces, rivers, steel walls and brick walls only. Your task is to get a bonus as soon as possible suppose that no enemies will disturb you (See the following picture).

Your tank can't move through rivers or walls, but it can destroy brick walls by shooting. A brick wall will be turned into empty spaces when you hit it, however, if your shot hit a steel wall, there will be no damage to the wall. In each of your turns, you can choose to move to a neighboring (4 directions, not 8) empty space, or shoot in one of the four directions without a move. The shot will go ahead in that direction, until it go out of the map or hit a wall. If the shot hits a brick wall, the wall will disappear (i.e., in this turn). Well, given the description of a map, the positions of your tank and the target, how many turns will you take at least to arrive there?

Input

The input consists of several test cases. The first line of each test case contains two integers M and N (2 <= M, N <= 300). Each of the following M lines contains N uppercase letters, each of which is one of 'Y' (you), 'T' (target), 'S' (steel wall), 'B' (brick wall), 'R' (river) and 'E' (empty space). Both 'Y' and 'T' appear only once. A test case of M = N = 0 indicates the end of input, and should not be processed.

Output

For each test case, please output the turns you take at least in a separate line. If you can't arrive at the target, output "-1" instead.

Sample Input

3 4
YBEB
EERE
SSTE
0 0

Sample Output

Robot Motion

Description:

A robot has been programmed to follow the instructions in its path. Instructions for the next direction the robot is to move are laid down in a grid. The possible instructions are

N north (up the page)
S south (down the page)
E east (to the right on the page)
W west (to the left on the page)

For example, suppose the robot starts on the north (top) side of Grid 1 and starts south (down). The path the robot follows is shown. The robot goes through 10 instructions in the grid before leaving the grid.

Compare what happens in Grid 2: the robot goes through 3 instructions only once, and then starts a loop through 8 instructions, and never exits.

You are to write a program that determines how long it takes a robot to get out of the grid or how the robot loops around.
Input

There will be one or more grids for robots to navigate. The data for each is in the following form. On the first line are three integers separated by blanks: the number of rows in the grid, the number of columns in the grid, and the number of the column in which the robot enters from the north. The possible entry columns are numbered starting with one at the left. Then come the rows of the direction instructions. Each grid will have at least one and at most 10 rows and columns of instructions. The lines of instructions contain only the characters N, S, E, or W with no blanks. The end of input is indicated by a row containing 0 0 0.

Output

For each grid in the input there is one line of output. Either the robot follows a certain number of instructions and exits the grid on any one the four sides or else the robot follows the instructions on a certain number of locations once, and then the instructions on some number of locations repeatedly. The sample input below corresponds to the two grids above and illustrates the two forms of output. The word "step" is always immediately followed by "(s)" whether or not the number before it is 1.

Sample Input

3 6 5
NEESWE
WWWESS
SNWWWW
4 5 1
SESWE
EESNW
NWEEN
EWSEN
0 0 0

Sample Output

10 step(s) to exit
3 step(s) before a loop of 8 step(s)

Problem solving:
这道题我是CSDN上搜的,一开始有思路不知道怎么实现。
但是我们可以发现这个里面每个点就会决定自己下一步是往哪里走,所以情况是唯一的。可以直接模拟。
这个模拟方式很巧妙地就是标记了走到任意一个位置需要的步数,如果是走出去了,直接调用中间用来存放步数的变量的值进行输出就行。如果在循环的过程中发现下一个要去到的点对应的步数的数组已经有值了就说明此时是在里面刚好转了一圈了。而转圈之前走的步数正好是从开始走走到这个点用到的步数减一,
每次转圈的长度就可以用存放步数的变量的值减去到达转圈的第一个点所需要的步数来得到(可以看着代码理解,模拟一下。

Number Transformation

Description:
In this problem, you are given an integer number s. You can transform any integer number A to another integer number B by adding x to A. This x is an integer number which is a prime factor of A (please note that 1 and A are not being considered as a factor of A). Now, your task is to find the minimum number of transformations required to transform s to another integer number t.

Input

Input starts with an integer T (≤ 500), denoting the number of test cases.
Each case contains two integers: s (1 ≤ s ≤ 100) and t (1 ≤ t ≤ 1000).

Output

For each case, print the case number and the minimum number of transformations needed. If it's impossible, then print -1.

Sample Input

2
6 12
6 13

Sample Output

Case 1: 2
Case 2: -1

Problem solving:
暴力解决就行,数据范围很小。
先对素数打表,然后再进行BFS查找即可。
BFS中扩展队列的方式
对输入的s,求出s的每个质因子加上它本身之后放进队列,如果出现了与t相同的情况,退出查找即可。关于特殊情况的判定我们还用A题的方式,定义一个ans变量初始值设为-1,如果出现了相等的就对ans进行更新即可。注意,如果在扩展队列的过程中遇到了之前已经出现过的数或者这个数已经大于了t,就不需要再把这个数放进队列了。

Knight Moves

Description:
A friend of you is doing research on the Traveling Knight Problem (TKP) where you are to find the shortest closed tour of knight moves that visits each square of a given set of n squares on a chessboard exactly once. He thinks that the most difficult part of the problem is determining the smallest number of knight moves between two given squares and that, once you have accomplished this, finding the tour would be easy.
Of course you know that it is vice versa. So you offer him to write a program that solves the "difficult" part.

Your job is to write a program that takes two squares a and b as input and then determines the number of knight moves on a shortest route from a to b.
Input

The input file will contain one or more test cases. Each test case consists of one line containing two squares separated by one space. A square is a string consisting of a letter (a-h) representing the column and a digit (1-8) representing the row on the chessboard.

Output

For each test case, print one line saying "To get from xx to yy takes n knight moves.".

Sample Input

e2 e4
a1 b2
b2 c3
a1 h8
a1 h7
h8 a1
b1 c3
f6 f6

Sample Output

To get from e2 to e4 takes 2 knight moves.
To get from a1 to b2 takes 4 knight moves.
To get from b2 to c3 takes 2 knight moves.
To get from a1 to h8 takes 6 knight moves.
To get from a1 to h7 takes 5 knight moves.
To get from h8 to a1 takes 6 knight moves.
To get from b1 to c3 takes 1 knight moves.
To get from f6 to f6 takes 0 knight moves.

就是马走日的问题,分8个方向进行查找即可。从图上就可以以看出输入的字符串如何处理成坐标的形式。即
