I wasn't aware that this implied that no trailing spaces should appear in the output in the case a point is reachable. Stupid problem description!!!! Stupid Dwite!!!!
Computer Science Canada If no other point is reachable, the output line is just the "n:", with no trailing spaces. |

hey hey Do not blame the contest. Also, you should not put trailing spaces anyways, as their sample output did not have any. I thought DWITE is going really well, good job Tony and Dan =) |

@Vengeance101: how would you have worded the description to make the expected format more clear? |

I think that all trailing spaces should be ignored. There is no reason to add the element of tricky output to a problem which is really intended to test your ability to use DFS/BFS... |

I second what Brian says!!! And I would have simply said that "no space should follow the last reachable point of interest for each line of output" or something like that...may God smite thee, devil!  |

@Dan -- can the judge strip trailing whitespace for future rounds? @Brian -- I don't see how that was "tricky output", enough people seem to have gotten it right. Edit: unless you think it's much easier to just pad spacing on the right -- let me know. @Vengeance101 -- but that doesn't describe the lines that have no "last reachable point". The question did say: Quote: separated by a single space as in
It did no say "padded on the right with a space"

We have a strict "no smiting" pact. That would have to wait at least until after re-negotiations. |

If you never want to count whitespace on the end, it will be no problem. I blive this issue came up before but we where woried about cases where it is counted. However i think that was more for beging white space then ending white space. |

I shouldn't want to count trailing white spaces... I'll remind you again when we are setting up for the next round. |
