hello @abhi_11

in ur memse function u should u sizeof function the the third argumentr.

lengt5h of array is not equal to the memory occupied by array

#3

I don’t want to memset the whole arr as it is a big size and I might get TLE. Hence clearing only part of the arr used which is equal to the number of tower

#4

I don’t think this is the reason for not getting accepted on spoj. Which case is not handled or mishadled ?

#5

here
memset(x,0,towers);
memset(y,0,towers);

third argument should size in bytes and not the lenght

#6

Changed the same to below but still not accepted

#7

memset(x,0,sizeof(int) *towers); memset(y,0,sizeof(int)*towers); Let me know why it is not getting accepted @spoj

#8

third arg - sizeof(int)*towers

#9

u missed one case as well.

ie gap between 0 to x[0] and 0 to y[0]

#10

Thanks, got it. Changed it and worked on got accepted on spoj. I have one more doubt why during calculation of dist between last tower and the end of the grid (width) we have not considered (width-1))

#11

we dont have tower the end of grid that why not subtracting 1
