Problem type

Moe Bull has a cell phone and after a month of use is trying to decide which price plan is the best for his usage pattern. He has two options, each plan has different costs for daytime minutes, evening minutes and weekend minutes.

Plan Costs
daytime evening weekend
A 100 free minutes then 25 cents per minute 15 cents per minute 20 cents per minute
B 250 free minutes then 45 cents per minute 35 cents per minute 25 cents per minute

Write a program that will input the number of each type of minutes and output the cheapest plan for this usage pattern, using the format shown below. The input will be in the order of daytime minutes, evening minutes and weekend minutes. In the case that the two plans are the same price, output both plans.

Sample Input 1

251
10
60

Sample Output 1

Plan A costs 51.25
Plan B costs 18.95
Plan B is cheapest.

Sample Input 2

162
61
66

Sample Output 2

Plan A costs 37.85
Plan B costs 37.85
Plan A and B are the same price.

      you wrote

      cout<<"Plan A costs "<<(1/10.0)*m<<endl;
cout<<"Plan B costs "<<(1/10.0)*n<<endl;
cout<<"Plan A is cheapest.";

      but you need to write

       cout<<"Plan A costs "<<m/100<<endl;
cout<<"Plan B costs "<<n/100<<endl;
cout<<"Plan A is cheapest.";

    Are compile errors due to bad code? Because my code works on my laptop but I get a compile error when submitting. The same thing happened for another problem but I resubmitted and it worked but that's not fixing the error here.

    EDIT: I fixed it by using Math.round() instead of DecimalFormat, but I don't see why DecimalFormat shouldn't work (Java 8)

      You may want to import java.text.DecimalFormat.

    I don't get why my first case is wrong. They are the same price, aren't they?

      Your program prints Plan A and Plan B are the same price. when the plans cost the same amount.

    Is cheapest?

    Is "Plan A is cheapest" correct grammar? I spent a while debugging my code because of this. I put "Plan A is the cheapest" instead.

    And then I 'fixed' it to "Plan A is cheaper".

      How correct the grammar is doesn't matter; it's simply the output specifications.

    What my output looks like when I input Sample Input 2... Are we allowed to round?

    Plan A costs 37.85 Plan B costs 37.849999999999994 Plan B is cheapest.

      We are dealing with exact real numbers in this problem.

        Meaning rounding is or isn't allowed?

          FatalEagle  commented on Nov. 19, 2014, 6:47 p.m.

          The answer must be to exactly 2 decimal places. The constraints are such that the correct answer will not have any nonzero digits after and including the third decimal place.

    I think there's a problem with your problem, and I have a problem with that.

                I have a problem with the fact that everyone has problems with the problem and problems with the problem with the problem. And the all the objections and problems with them.
