Problems 1: Spiral matrix - Advanced Source of the problem: Here (not in English)

Spiral matrix is formed by filling number 1 in 1st row 1st column, after that, filling with increasing number by clockwise, example:

1  2  3  4  5
16 17 18 19 6
15 24 25 20 7
14 23 22 21 8
13 12 11 10 9

Write a program that inform the value of cell (x, y) of a square spiral matrix sized n x n.

Input: First row record the number of tests, not greater than 100. Each test record in one row, include tree values n x y (1 ≤ n, x, y ≤ 100)

Output: With each test, print out the value of the cell at x row y column in n x n spiral matrix.

Example:

Input:         Output:
2              18
5 2 3          2
4 1 2

Solution:
Let's take the given example of the spiral matrix above to explain my idea.

I start the loop, the loop do these follow things:

First I devide the ring into 4 equally group and filling increasing number by clockwise:

1   2   3   4 | 5
--
16  ..  ..  ..  6

15  ..  ..  ..  7

14  ..  ..  ..  8
               --
13| 12  11  10  9

After that, my ring will shrink, and repeat steps of the previous ring, look like this:

..  ..  ..  ..  ..

..  17  18 |19  ..
    --
..  24  ..  20  ..
            --    
..  23| 22  21  ..

..  ..  ..  ..  ..

Because I set the loop to just repeat n/2 times, so the loop will stop here, but with n is odd, there always still 1 cell left, so after stop the loop, I will have to check if n is odd, then the cell at n/2 row and n/2 column will be set to value n^2.

Implementation:

#include<stdio.h>
#define fi "d:\\program\\text\\ip_spoj_mtx.txt" //Input
#define fo "d:\\program\\text\\op_spoj_mtx.txt" //Output
#define ma 100 //maximum size of each array

int s,n[ma],x[ma],y[ma],a[ma][ma],r[ma]; //s: the number of tests; n,x,y: self-explanatory; a: contains temporay spiral matrix; r: the results  

void Input(void);
void Process(void);
void Output(void);

int main(void) {
  Input();
  Process();
  Output();
  printf("Done!\n");
  return 0;
}

void Input(void) {
  FILE *f;
  f=fopen(fi,"r");
  if(!f)
    printf("Cannot open file %s\n",fi);
  else {
    fscanf(f,"%d",&s);
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<s;i++)
      fscanf(f,"%d%d%d",&n[i],&x[i],&y[i]);
    fclose(f);
  }
}
void Process(void) {
  int k,i,j,xu,yu,xr,yr,xd,yd,xl,yl,v,b; //x_,y_ is the coordinates use in the matrix; _u is up group, _r: right group, _d: down, _l: left
  for(k=0;k<s;k++) {
    j=0; //general border of each group
    b=n[k]-1; //general border of each group (each group has 2 border, one is the "|" or "--" in my explanatory above, and another is the remain
    v=0; //value to filling in cells
    xu=0;
    yl=0;
    xd=n[k]-1;
    yr=n[k]-1;
    for(i=0;i<n[k]/2;i++) {
      for(yu=j;yu<b;yu++)
        a[xu][yu]=++v;
      for(xr=j;xr<b;xr++)
        a[xr][yr]=++v;
      for(yd=b;yd>j;yd--)
        a[xd][yd]=++v;
      for(xl=b;xl>j;xl--)
        a[xl][yl]=++v;
      b--;
      j++;
      xu++;
      yr--;
      xd--;
      yl++;
    }
    if(n[k]%2!=0) {
      v=n[k]/2;
      a[v][v]=n[k]*n[k];
    }
    r[k]=a[x[k]-1][y[k]-1];
  }
}
void Output(void) {
  FILE *f;
  f=fopen(fo,"w");
  if(!f)
    printf("Cannot open file %s\n",fo);
  else {
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<s;i++)
      fprintf(f,"%d\n",r[i]);
    fclose(f);
  }
}

Problem 2: Working with singly linked list
I think my code is self-explanatory, if you are beginner to coding, I really recommend you to try reading and understanding the code by yourself, if you have any question or opinion, please let me know.

Another way, you should paste it in a C compiler to see it works.

Implementation:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#define ma 100

struct Node {
  int data;
  struct Node *next;
};
struct Node *head;

void Prt(void); //Print all node in the list.
void Inl(int); //Insert a node at the end of the list.
void Ins(int,int); //Insert a node of value x, at the n_th position.
void Del(int); //Delete a node at n_th option position.
void Mod(int,int); //Modify value of a node to value x, at n_th position.
void Sch(int); //Search for positions of any node that matching the key.
void Rev(void); //Reverse the list.
void Clr(void); //Clear the list.

int main(void) {
  head=NULL;
  int n,k,x,c;
  do {
    k=-1;
    while(!(k==0||k==1||k==2||k==3||k==4||k==5||k==6||k==7)) {
      system("cls"); //I know this not standard but I too lazy too write out a clrscr function, so if you want more standard just search on Internet for the standard one
      printf("Working with a linked list (of integers)! Please know what you are doing ^_^\n");
      Prt();
      printf("\n\n(0) Exit program.");
      printf("\n(1) Insert a node at the end of the list.");
      printf("\n(2) Insert a node at any position in the list.");
      printf("\n(3) Delete a node at any position in the list.");
      printf("\n(4) Modify the value of a node at any position in the list.");
      printf("\n(5) Searching for position of any nodes that matching the key.");
      printf("\n(6) Reverse the list.");
      printf("\n(7) Clear the list.");
      printf("\nImport a number: ");
      scanf("%d",&k);
    }
    switch(k) {
      case 0:
        return 0;
        break;
      case 1:
        printf("\nInsert number x into the end of the list, import x: ");
        scanf("%d",&x);
        Inl(x);
        break;
      case 2:
        printf("\nInsert number x into n position, import x and n: ");
        scanf("%d%d",&x,&n);
        Ins(x,n);
        break;
      case 3:
        printf("\nDelete node at n position, import n: ");
        scanf("%d",&n);
        Del(n);
        break;
      case 4:
        printf("\nEdit the value of node at n position to value x, import x and n: ");
        scanf("%d%d",&x,&n);
        Mod(x,n);
        break;
      case 5:
        printf("\nSearching for any node that matching the key, import key: ");
        scanf("%d",&x);

Jesus Christ!hehe Thank you for the file operation example. I did not understand everything because I am not that smart; However I understood the file operation routine. I needed that. God bless you#!!
