Immediate Decodability
An encoding of a set of symbols is said to be immediately decodable if no code for one symbol is the prefix of a code for another symbol. We will assume for this problem that all codes are in binary, that no two codes within a set of codes are the same, that each code has at least one bit and no more than ten bits, and that each set has at least two codes and no more than eight.
Examples: Assume an alphabet that has symbols {A, B, C, D}
The following code is immediately decodable:
A:01 B:10 C:0010 D:0000
but this one is not:
A:01 B:10 C:010 D:0000 (Note that A is a prefix of C)
Input
Write a program that accepts as input a series of groups of records from a data file. Each record in a group contains a collection of zeroes and ones representing a binary code for a different symbol. Each group is followed by a single separator record containing a single 9; the separator records are not part of the group. Each group is independent of other groups; the codes in one group are not related to codes in any other group (that is, each group is to be processed independently).
Output
For each group, your program should determine whether the codes in that group are immediately decodable, and should print a single output line giving the group number and stating whether the group is, or is not, immediately decodable.
The Sample Input describes the examples above.
Sample Input
0110001000009011001000009
Sample Output
Set 1 is immediately decodableSet 2 is not immediately decodable
解题报告
我只能说是艰难的历程，集训一下午才解出一题，WA一次，刚才还不知道出问题在哪呢，结果让小伙伴除了一组数据测试，才知道问题在哪。。。
我的思路是先排序，按长度来排序，然后再比较是否是前缀。。。
#include<stdio.h>#include<string.h>int main(){ int i,l[10],k,j,t,p,q=0,m=0,n=0; char str[8][11],ch[11]; while(gets(str[0])!=NULL) { n++; i=1; l[0]=strlen(str[0]); while(gets(str[i])!=NULL) { if(str[i][0]=='9') break; l[i]=strlen(str[i]); i++; } for(j=0;j<i;j++) for(k=j+1;k<i;k++) if(l[j]>l[k]) { strcpy(ch,str[j]); strcpy(str[j],str[k]); strcpy(str[k],ch); t=l[j]; l[j]=l[k]; l[k]=t; } for(j=0;j<i-1;j++) { q=0; for(k=j+1;k<i;k++) { q=0; for(p=0;p<l[j];p++) if(str[j][p]==str[k][p]) q++; if(q==l[j]) m++; } } if(m!=0) { printf("Set %d is not immediately decodable\n",n); m=0; } else printf("Set %d is immediately decodable\n",n); } return 0;}
