ACODE - Alphacode
Alice and Bob need to send secret messages to each other and are discussing ways to encode their messages:
Alice: “Let’s just use a very simple code: We’ll assign ‘A’ the code word 1, ‘B’ will be 2, and so on down to ‘Z’ being assigned 26.”
Bob: “That’s a stupid code, Alice. Suppose I send you the word ‘BEAN’ encoded as 25114. You could decode that in many different ways!”
Alice: “Sure you could, but what words would you get? Other than ‘BEAN’, you’d get ‘BEAAD’, ‘YAAD’, ‘YAN’, ‘YKD’ and ‘BEKD’. I think you would be able to figure out the correct decoding. And why would you send me the word ‘BEAN’ anyway?”
Bob: “OK, maybe that’s a bad example, but I bet you that if you got a string of length 5000 there would be tons of different decodings and with that many you would find at least two different ones that would make sense.”
Alice: “How many different decodings?”
Bob: “Jillions!”
For some reason, Alice is still unconvinced by Bob’s argument, so she requires a program that will determine how many decodings there can be for a given string using her code.
Input
Input will consist of multiple input sets. Each set will consist of a single line of at most 5000 digits representing a valid encryption (for example, no line will begin with a 0). There will be no spaces between the digits. An input line of ‘0’ will terminate the input and should not be processed.
Output
For each input set, output the number of possible decodings for the input string. All answers will be within the range of a 64 bit signed integer.
Example
Input: 25114 1111111111 3333333333 0 Output: 6 89 1

Sample test cases are too ambiguous. It should at least include an example for how to interpret 0 in the input. I have to go through comments to find out what exactly the judge system expects. Some test cases:

Submitted 2 solutions. One gave 1001 -> 1 and other 1001 -> 0. 2nd got accepted. Make sure to check case when 2 0s are consecutive. Also using long long (my stupidity) for storing number costed me 2 WAs make sure to use string (I was busy in checking test cases provided in comments ;-P). |

This problem is ambiguos. They should at-least give few examples of how to handle 0 in the input. After reading comments, one only gets confused as to which is correct. I wasted so much time on this |

Take care zeroes are the heart and soul of this problem......

My program runs fine on my computer, but gives NZEC after submission, here is the link to my program. <snip> Last edit: 2023-06-07 12:19:54 |

everyone try test 26 the answer should be 2 the bug in my program was if two numbers combined they should be under 26 but the right answer is if it's under or equal to 26 |

was getting WA because of taking size of char array= 5000 inc it to 5001
