AMSCO2 - Decipher the AMSCO cipher |
Here you have to decipher the AMSCO cipher:
Due to A.M.SCOtt in the 19th century, it's an incomplete columnar transposition cipher with alternating single letters and digraphs. The first entry must be a digraph. In both even and odd periods the first column and the first row always alternate:
7 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
RI | D | ER | S | ON | T | HE |
S | TO | R | MI | N | TO | T |
HI | S | HO | U | SE | W | EA |
R | EB | O | RN | J | IM | M |
OR | R | IS | O | N |
Input
N lines (N < 1000) Each line of the input contains the numeric key (permutation order of the columns) and a ciphertext. Ciphertext letters are in [A-Z] only with no punctuation. The keylength max is 9 and the length of the ciphertext is limited to 250. The last line ends with EOF.
Output
Output consist of exactly N lines of plaintexts with letters in [A-Z] with no spaces.

Reused AMSCO1 code in a really dumb way. Not too proud of this AC.. Edit: Having failed to debug an optimized solution, I concede that the dumb way was the correct approach ;) Last edit: 2017-11-10 07:33:43 |

doing AMSCO1 before this makes it a cakewalk. |

@legrand: I am getting WA again n again even though I verified my solution with a lot of test cases generated using amsco1 code. Can you please give me a hint for the occurrence of same? => 30% wrong testcases @legrand: Thanks .. Got AC :) Last edit: 2013-07-08 06:55:51 |

@legrand: please check my code, id - 9455124, it works for the test cases and many cases produced from AMSCO1, but gives wrong answer. thanks in advance... =>verify the length of your answers: at the end of all your wrong outputs there are 2 or 3 '\0' and sometimes an extra alpha char before the '\n' @legrand: Thanks !! AC :) Last edit: 2013-06-12 15:27:15 |
