that means for test case a#b#c#d#e, answer would be 7(I’m still confused)
@devuy11 Had the same problem, I even misread it twice, when it appeared to be a lot simpler. Really need to focus more on constraints next time.
@pragrame It sure is harder to find, but my code, which I think would be correct without the constraint, still is pretty short(even shorter than what I submitted with the constraint) and very doable for most of the people who solved this problem by theirselfs I guess.
Yes, why don’t you copy someone’s AC solution and check for some self-generated tests to avoid your confusion.
@unlimited700, @tutulive - Is showing testcases for practice problems helpful or not is highly debatable. Without test cases you are forced to think of boundary conditions/cases which probably you won’t if you see them. It will prove helpful in the long run specially if you practice on SPOJ.

Hey, instead of posting your entire code here you can simply give the link to your solution here.
@r20rock the output for this test case
1
uuu####### yyy#yyy#yyy########### uuu
must be 15 whereas your code returns 0. Read the problem statement more carefully.
Hi,
Apologies for opening an old thread but i really liked the question and have been trying to get this one. My code is constantly getting WA for this question. I have tried the examples given along with some testcases mentioned in the comments, but their answer is coming fine.

Can someone please take a look and give any inputs he may want to share? It would be really helpful for me.
Thanks
