Matrix Chain Multiplication

Suppose you have to evaluate an expression like A*B*C*D*E where A,B,C,D and E are matrices. Since matrix multiplication is associative, the order in which multiplications are performed is arbitrary. However, the number of elementary multiplications needed strongly depends on the evaluation order you choose.


For example, let A be a 50*10 matrix, B a 10*20 matrix and C a 20*5 matrix. There are two different strategies to compute A*B*C, namely (A*B)*C and A*(B*C).


The first one takes 15000 elementary multiplications, but the second one only 3500.


Your job is to write a program that determines the number of elementary multiplications needed for a given evaluation strategy.


Input
Input consists of two parts: a list of matrices and a list of expressions.


The first line of the input file contains one integer n ( 1<=N<=26 ), representing the number of matrices in the first part. The next n lines each contain one capital letter, specifying the name of the matrix, and two integers, specifying the number of rows and columns of the matrix.


The second part of the input file strictly adheres to the following syntax (given in EBNF):


SecondPart = Line { Line } <EOF>
Line       = Expression <CR>
Expression = Matrix | "(" Expression Expression ")"
Matrix     = "A" | "B" | "C" | ... | "X" | "Y" | "Z"


Output
For each expression found in the second part of the input file, print one line containing the word "error" if evaluation of the expression leads to an error due to non-matching matrices. Otherwise print one line containing the number of elementary multiplications needed to evaluate the expression in the way specified by the parentheses.

简单的表达式求值问题，主要是因为表达式合法所以这道题才简单，矩阵总是成对儿出现，一开始我一直以为一对括号之内的矩阵数量是不定的，所以将问题想复杂了。其实水题。

附代码如下：

#include<cstdio>#include<cstring>#include<stack>#include<string>#include<sstream>#include<iostream>using namespace std;#define MAXN (26)struct MATRIX{int row,col;};int n;MATRIX m[MAXN];void read(){string s;cin>>s;int i=s[0]-'A',x,y;scanf("%d%d",&x,&y);m[i]=(MATRIX){x,y};}int main(){//freopen("in.txt","r",stdin);scanf("%d",&n);for(int i=0;i<n;i++)read();char str[100];while(scanf("%s",str)!=EOF){int len=strlen(str);stack<MATRIX> s;int ans=0;bool ERROR=false;for(int i=0;i<len;i++){if(str[i]==')'){MATRIX m2=s.top();s.pop();MATRIX m1=s.top();s.pop();if(m1.col!=m2.row){printf("error\n");ERROR=true;break;}ans+=m1.row*m2.row*m2.col;s.push((MATRIX){m1.row,m2.col});}else if('A'<=str[i]&&str[i]<='Z'){s.push(m[str[i]-'A']);}}if(!ERROR)printf("%d\n",ans);}//fclose(stdin);return 0;}
