Offline Tester Usage
To use the offline tester, you must have Java installed and working on a
command line. You should then modify your program to read input from standard
in and write output to standard out. Note that this does not affect the code
you will submit to TopCoder, which should still implement the method described
in the problem statement.
The input will be given to you one argument at a time. The string arrays will
be given as a line containing a single integer N, representing the size of the
array, followed by the N lines representing the elements. The two double
parameters will simply be given on lines by themselves. You should output
your string array in the same format: the length on a line by itself, followed
by the contents, one element per line. Assuming you have implemented the
getMedkit method, your code to interface with the offline tester may look
something like this:
readStringArray(){
length = parseInt(readLine());
ret = string[length];
for(i = 0; i < output.length; i++){
ret[i] = readLine();
}
}
main() {
availableResources = readStringArray();
requiredResources = readStringArray();
missions = readStringArray();
P = parseDouble(readLine());
C = parseDouble(readLine());
output = getMedkit(availableResources, requiredResources, missions, P, C);
printLine(output.length);
for(i = 0; i < output.length; i++){
printLine(output[i]);
}
}
Any debugging output you print to standard error will be forwarded to the
console. You must not print debugging output to standard out, as that will
confuse the testing framework which is reading your medkit from standard out.
Be sure to flush your output buffers at the end of your code!
To run the tester, download the files above and place them all in the same
directory, along with your executable. You can then run
java -Xmx1024M -jar Tester.jar EXEC SEED
EXEC is the executable command. If this contains a space, it must be
surrounded by quotes. For example 'java -Xmx128M MySpaceMedkit'. SEED is a
seed for the random number generator used to generate the details of the test
case.
