TEST - Life, the Universe, and Everything


Your program is to use the brute-force approach in order to find the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. More precisely... rewrite small numbers from input to output. Stop processing input after reading in the number 42. All numbers at input are integers of one or two digits.

Example

Input:
1
2
88
42
99

Output:
1
2
88

You need to check if the input is 42 OR NULL. If there isn't input, exit the program, and it works

How do you expect to end the input sequence?

I've got this working 4 diff ways but fails every time I submit. Any obvious suggestions I might be missing??

crisron: 2015-01-20 03:21:05

How many nos. I have to take as input...??

crisron: 2015-01-20 03:21:05

How to take the input in this prog...??
And how many nos...??

I m getting compile error but the program runs on the gcc compiler i have. What to do ????

@Jovan
When you submit Java code, it gets run as Main.java on SPOJ server (as you can see from the error message), so either change your class name to Main or remove the word public.

Jovan: 2015-01-20 03:21:05

I've got a problem since I've never uploaded my codes. Im sure that code is good, but it says: "Main.java:4: class test is public, should be declared in a file named test.java
public class test
^
1 error"
Please help, no time to waste...

@James Barcus The input doesn't have to be stored, you can, if you wish, but it's not necessary. Remember that input and ouput streams are separated from each other, and you can print immediately when you read a number.

I understand it all stops at 42, easy enough to understand. But it gives no information on how many inputs can be made or if it should output immediately or be stored. If it's stored, how inputs should be stored?

Also, I don't understand how you rewrite. If the input is 1 and the output should be 1, how do you rewrite a 1 to be a 1?
