Description
How far can you make a stack of cards overhang a table? If you have one card, you can create a maximum overhang of half a card length. (We're assuming that the cards must be perpendicular to the table.) With two cards you can make the top card overhang the bottom one by half a card length, and the bottom one overhang the table by a third of a card length, for a total maximum overhang of 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 card lengths. In general you can make n cards overhang by 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/(n + 1) card lengths, where the top card overhangs the second by 1/2, the second overhangs tha third by 1/3, the third overhangs the fourth by 1/4, etc., and the bottom card overhangs the table by 1/(n + 1). This is illustrated in the figure below.

Input
The input consists of one or more test cases, followed by a line containing the number 0.00 that signals the end of the input. Each test case is a single line containing a positive floating-point number c whose value is at least 0.01 and at most 5.20; c will contain exactly three digits.
Output
For each test case, output the minimum number of cards necessary to achieve an overhang of at least c card lengths. Use the exact output format shown in the examples.
Sample Input
1.00
3.71
0.04
5.19
0.00
Sample Output
3 card(s)
61 card(s)
1 card(s)
273 card(s)

代码如下,效率不是很高,用了15MS,一次性通过了.算法优化以后再讲了.
main()
{
float min[5000];
int num[5000];
int i,total;
float temp;
scanf("%f",&min[0]);
i = 0;
while(min[i]){
i++;
scanf("%f",&min[i]);
}
total = i; /*total是输入的个数*/
/*求每个输入的不小于MIN[]的板数*/
for( i = 0 ; i < total ; i++ ){
temp = 0;
num[i] = 2;
while( temp < min[i] ){
temp =temp + ( 1.0 / num[i] ) ; /*注意这个地方一定要用1.0哦,要不NUM[I]也被隐式转化为整型了*/
num[i]++;
}
num[i] -=2;
}/*for*/
for(i = 0 ; i < total ; i++)printf("%d card(s)/n",num[i]);
}/*main*/
