(ou7MPA - Online C++0x Compiler & Debugging Tool - Ideone.com).
this is the link to my code can someone please look at it as i am not able to find any wrong answer aq to my input.

In line 54, u should push cnt0 if cnt0>0
try to debug then.

Weak test cases again then. My AC solution outputs: 4.

please can someone help me in off bulb problem i have tried all test cases which come to my mind please help
Here is my code

no man should be 3

but it should be 3

codechef standards are deteriorating day by day. many like me would have wasted more then a hour on this question whose tastecase are so weak.

this condition can be handled ny the code in the later section.

how is it 3 ?

first we will remove first 2 bulb by cutting 2nd wire and with second last wire we will discoonect the last 2 bulb.

yes that give 10001. Then in order to disconnect every 0, you need 4 operations, no ?

I meant from this point 10001 you need to disconnect 4 times.

thanks

bro can u please clarify ur question.

The original string was 00000000 after performing 2 cuts 00/00000/00 we get this string. Then in the middle string we make any of them to be 1. Now our string becomes 00/11111/00, after this we start disconnecting our not satisfying 1’s those at index 4, 5, 6 considering it to 1 based indexing. so in order to disconnect 3 ones we need to disconnect 4 wires.

Is it like we are removing bulbs ? Not wires ? In disconnecting operation .

i agree
