wrong answer in test case 1 C language bruteforce
Posted by Anupam Patel 7 Oct 2018 03:59
Hello All,
Can someone please help to understand the first test case or where I am going wrong in my code , I haven't used any algorithm, its just a brute force approach.

```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char number[100];
char words[50001][101];

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int map_alphabet[26], i , j , c , n, master_begin_index, master_end_index ,output_buffer_index, pivot, number_len, is_candidate;
    char output_buffer[101];
    map_alphabet['i'-97] = 1;
    map_alphabet['j'-97] = 1;
    map_alphabet['a'-97] = 2;
    map_alphabet['b'-97] = 2;
    map_alphabet['c'-97] = 2;
    map_alphabet['d'-97] = 3;
    map_alphabet['e'-97] = 3;
    map_alphabet['f'-97] = 3;
    map_alphabet['g'-97] = 4;
    map_alphabet['h'-97] = 4;
    map_alphabet['k'-97] = 5;
    map_alphabet['l'-97] = 5;
    map_alphabet['m'-97] = 6;
    map_alphabet['n'-97] = 6;
    map_alphabet['p'-97] = 7;
    map_alphabet['r'-97] = 7;
    map_alphabet['s'-97] = 7;
    map_alphabet['t'-97] = 8;
    map_alphabet['u'-97] = 8;
    map_alphabet['v'-97] = 8;
    map_alphabet['w'-97] = 9;

            }
            words[i][j] = '\0';
            i ++;
        }

        master_begin_index = 0;
        master_end_index = number_len ;
        output_buffer_index = 0;

        for ( i = 0 ; words[i][0] != '\0' ; i ++)  {
            is_candidate = 1;
            pivot = master_begin_index;
            for ( j = 0 ; words[i][j] != '\0' ; j ++ ) {
                if ( map_alphabet[ words[i][j] - 97] !=  number[pivot] - 48 || pivot >= master_end_index) {
                    is_candidate = 0;

                    break;
                }

                if ( output_buffer_index != 0)
                    output_buffer[output_buffer_index ++] = ' ';
                for ( j = 0; words[i][j] != '\0'; j ++ ) {
                    output_buffer[output_buffer_index ++] = words[i][j];
                }
            }


        }
        if ( pivot == master_end_index ) {
            for ( i = 0 ; i < output_buffer_index; i++ )
                putchar(output_buffer[i]);
            putchar('\n');
        }
        else
