Hi, all Here is the test. Plz help.....
/ ***************************************************************************************************************************************************/ If you use the new image search of Google, you will find that the result images are layouted in a way that each row has the same height, but contains different number of images dependents the width-height ratio of each image. The goal is to make each row of images having approximately same total width. Just try search any image inimages.google.com, you will get the idea. If you're the programmer designing this page, what algorithm would you use to select images for each row? Input: The input of the program is a plain text file, each line in the file containg 2 numbers, describing the width and height of an image e.g. 800 600 640 400 720 1280 ... Goal: Design an algorithm to put those images into a number of rows, each row is 150 pixel height and 1200 pixel wide. You could scale images proportionally to the same height. You need make sure the images are aligned as closely as possbile to the row boundary. Output: The indexes of the images you would put on each row followed by blank line. e.g. 0 1 2 According to the input file example, this output means image-0 (800 x 600) and image-1 (640 x 400) is put on the first row and image-2 (720 x 1280) is put on the second row. Constraint: Assuming, the input file contains less than 100 lines. Your algorithm should finish within 5 secs on a standard laptop. / **********************************************************************************************************************************************/ Could any give a hand?
