矩阵链乘(Matrix Chain Multiplication)

Submit Status

Description

Suppose you have to evaluate an expression like A*B*C*D*E where A,B,C,D and E are matrices. Since matrix multiplication is associative, the order in which multiplications are performed is arbitrary. However, the number of elementary multiplications needed strongly depends on the evaluation order you choose.

For example, let A be a 50*10 matrix, B a 10*20 matrix and C a 20*5 matrix. There are two different strategies to compute A*B*C, namely (A*B)*C and A*(B*C).

The first one takes 15000 elementary multiplications, but the second one only 3500.

Your job is to write a program that determines the number of elementary multiplications needed for a given evaluation strategy.

Input Specification

Input consists of two parts: a list of matrices and a list of expressions.

The first line of the input file contains one integer n ( ), representing the number of matrices in the first part. The next n lines each contain one capital letter, specifying the name of the matrix, and two integers, specifying the number of rows and columns of the matrix.

The second part of the input file strictly adheres to the following syntax (given in EBNF):

SecondPart = Line { Line } <EOF>
Line       = Expression <CR>
Expression = Matrix | "(" Expression Expression ")"
Matrix     = "A" | "B" | "C" | ... | "X" | "Y" | "Z"  

Output Specification

For each expression found in the second part of the input file, print one line containing the word "error" if evaluation of the expression leads to an error due to non-matching matrices. Otherwise print one line containing the number of elementary multiplications needed to evaluate the expression in the way specified by the parentheses.

       解析表达式：可以用一个栈来完成：遇到字母时入栈，遇到右括号时出栈并计算，然后结果入栈。因为输入保证合法，括号无须入栈。

简单的表达式解析可以借助栈来完成。

用C++语言编写程序，代码如下：

#include<iostream>
#include<stack>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

struct Matrix {
	int a, b;
	Matrix(int a = 0, int b = 0) : a(a), b(b) {}
} m[26];

stack<Matrix> s;

int main() {
	int n;
	cin >> n;
	for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
		string name;
		cin >> name;
		int k = name[0] - 'A';
		cin >> m[k].a >> m[k].b;
	}

	string expr;
	while (cin >> expr) {
		int len = expr.length();
		bool error = false;
		int ans = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
			if (isalpha(expr[i])) {
				s.push(m[expr[i] - 'A']);
			}
			else if (expr[i] == ')') {
				Matrix m2 = s.top(); s.pop();
				Matrix m1 = s.top(); s.pop();
				if (m1.b != m2.a) {
					error = true;
					break;
				}
				else {
					ans += m1.a * m1.b * m2.b;
					s.push(Matrix(m1.a, m2.b));
				}
			}
		}
		if (error)
			cout << "error" << endl;
		else
			cout << ans << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}
