MAIN8_D - Coing tossing
One day Rohil was getting very bored so he was tossing an unbiased coin randomly. He observed that certain patterns (a sequence of Head and Tail) appear very frequently while some other are very rare. Being a programmer he decided to code a solution which takes a pattern string as input and tells what is the expected number of times he will have to toss his coin to see that pattern. He wrote this program very quickly. Can you?
Input
First line contains (1 <= T <= 25) the number of test cases. Each of following T lines contains a pattern string of 'H' and 'T' only. H is for Head and T is for Tail.
|S| <= 40
Output
For each test case print the output in a new line (it is guaranteed that answer will always be an integer and fits in 64 bit type).
Example
Input: 3 H HTHT TTHTHTHTHTHHTHTHTHTTTTTTHTHHHHHTT Output: 2 20 8589934598

Good question, but the 2nd test case gave it away. :) |

Nice :) Introduced me to a world of counter-intuitive results while calculating expectations. Last edit: 2012-08-26 18:45:24 |

Yes Mathan, that is right. |

Nice ques...Good approach can lead to AC in 0.00 ..So time limit is a little excessive.. |

Is the third test case right?? Last edit: 2012-04-06 18:53:30 |

If explained, it would be too easy to do the problem, the task is to know how to explain those test cases. The problem statement is very clear. Last edit: 2011-06-13 21:22:14 |
