Good advice: don't use real variables, use extended or longint!

Posted by Punkrocker 23 Sep 2004 01:02

I got "WA on test 3" nine times, when I stored P and Q as
real variables. But when I only substituted "real" by
"extended", I got AC.
If you don't want to use such advanced methods, like
extended type, you can store P*100 and Q*100 as longint.
This method gets AC too.

I agree. My program used real variables at first got WA again and again at test 3.
Try this test:
24.80 24.83
The right answer is 129
If you use real, the asnwer is 125
24.80 / 100 * 125 = 31.0000000000
24.83 / 100 * 125 = 31.0375000000
Good Luck!

I agree! First, I always WA at text 14, but when I use "extended", I got AC.

You don't need to use any real types in your programs! The problem can be easily solved with integer types!
