HANGOVER - Hangover
How far can you make a stack of cards overhang a table? If you have one card, you can create a maximum overhang of half a card length. (We're assuming that the cards must be perpendicular to the table.) With two cards you can make the top card overhang the bottom one by half a card length, and the bottom one overhang the table by a third of a card length, for a total maximum overhang of 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 card lengths. In general you can make n cards overhang by 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/(n + 1) card lengths, where the top card overhangs the second by 1/2, the second overhangs tha third by 1/3, the third overhangs the fourth by 1/4, etc., and the bottom card overhangs the table by 1/(n + 1). This is illustrated in the figure below.
Input
The input consists of one or more test cases, followed by a line containing the number 0.00 that signals the end of the input. Each test case is a single line containing a positive floating-point number c whose value is at least 0.01 and at most 5.20; c will contain exactly three digits.
Output
For each test case, output the minimum number of cards necessary to achieve an overhang of at least c card lengths. Use the exact output format shown in the examples.
Input: 1.00 3.71 0.04 5.19 0.00 Output: 3 card(s) 61 card(s) 1 card(s) 273 card(s)

Omg why do we have to add card(s) at the end?? :/ |

I have already got my solution accepted, but I have a doubt. Why is the upper limit given to be 5.20 ('at most 5.20' the text says)? My code works fine for values above 5.20 also. So, why this upper limit? |

Sourabh, I think that u r loosing some values when u r multiplying each fraction with 100. Like in case of 1/3*100 = 33.33 converted to 33(integer), u will loose 0.33 and so on u'll loose many values further which would most probably cause an inaccurate answer. |
