According to Wikipedia, an arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant. For instance, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 ... is an arithmetic progression with common difference 2. For this problem, we will limit ourselves to arithmetic progression whose common difference is a non-zero integer.

On the other hand, a geometric progression (GP) is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54 ... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. For this problem, we will limit ourselves to geometric progression whose common ratio is a non-zero integer.

Given three successive members of a sequence, you need to determine the type of the progression and the next successive member.

Input

Your program will be tested on one or more test cases. Each case is specified on a single line with three integers (−10, 000 < a1, a2, a3 < 10, 000) where a1, a2, and a3 are distinct.

The last case is followed by a line with three zeros.

Output

For each test case, you program must print a single line of the form:
XX v
where XX is either AP or GP depending if the given progression is an Arithmetic or Geometric Progression. v is the next member of the given sequence. All input cases are guaranteed to be either an arithmetic or geometric progressions.

Example

Input:
4 7 10
2 6 18
0 0 0

Output:
AP 13
GP 54

who says float? IT JUST INTEGERS!

try with bfs!

i got the logic of the AP GP but I keep getting the while loop condition wrong. The series is quite simple

1. "common ratio is a non-zero integer" don't believe at this think beyond this..
2. for GP try to cover all cases for either int or float values..

for input 5 0 0 output should be 0.
hope this helps.

be careful with while loop terminating condition!

Why this gives WA when we use (a+c)/2 == b as if condition?

My 51th Problem

landi58: 2020-04-30 14:57:40

1. Take Float data type
2. Dont use (a2/a1)==(a3/a2), this will fail for 0 case. Use if (a2*a2)==(a1*a3)
3. check for cases -5 25 -125
answer should be GP 625
check for case 625 125 25
answer should be GP 5

Thats it..Good Luck..Easy problem

inputs are integers as stated in question
