Unix ls

author ：lht

Title Description ：

        The computer company you work for is introducing a brand new computer line and is developing a new Unix-like operating system to be introduced along with the new computer. Your assignment is to write the formatter for the ls function. Your program will eventually read input from a pipe (although for now your program will read from the input file). Input to your program will consist of a list of (F) filenames that you will sort (ascending based on the ASCII character values) and format into (C) columns based on the length (L) of the longest filename. Filenames will be between 1 and 60 (inclusive) characters in length and will be formatted into left-justified columns. The rightmost column will be the width of the longest filename and all other columns will be the width of the longest filename plus 2. There will be as many columns as will fit in 60 characters. Your program should use as few rows (R) as possible with rows being filled to capacity from left to right.

Input

       

         The input file will contain an indefinite number of lists of filenames. Each list will begin with a line containing a single integer (1 ≤ N ≤ 100). There will then be N lines each containing one left-justified filename and the entire line’s contents (between 1 and 60 characters) are considered to be part of the filename. Allowable characters are alphanumeric (a to z, A to Z, and 0 to 9) and from the following set {._-} (not including the curly braces). There will be no illegal characters in any of the filenames and no line will be completely empty. Immediately following the last filename will be the N for the next set or the end of file. You should read and format all sets in the input file.

 Output

         For each set of filenames you should print a line of exactly 60 dashes (-) followed by the formatted columns of filenames. The sorted filenames 1 to R will be listed down column 1; filenames R + 1 to 2R listed down column 2; etc.

  Ideas ：

        Application c++ knowledge , First, get the longest word , And put all the words into the array and sort , Then use double loops to output with spaces in turn .

Be careful ：

1. Calculation when calculating the longest word
2. Calculation of blank space when outputting

Code ：

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
 
using namespace std;
 
const int maxlengh = 60;// Maximum restriction  

string s[2000];
 
int main()
{
 	int n;
	 while(~scanf("%d",&n))
{
	printf("------------------------------------------------------------\n");
	int max_len = 0;
 	for(int i=0; i<n; i++)// Seek the longest  
		{
   			cin >> s[i];
   			int len = s[i].length();
   			if(len > max_len) max_len = len;
  		}
  	sort(s,s+n);// Sort  
  	int line = (maxlengh-max_len)/(max_len+2) + 1;// That's ok  
  	int row = (n-1)/line+1;// Column  
 
	for(int i=0; i<row; i++)
  	{
  		 for(int j=0; j<line; j++)
  		 {
    		int k = i+j*row;
    		if(k>=n)
				continue;
    		cout << s[k];
   			 int lf = max_len-s[k].length();// Extra space  
   			 if(j<line-1)lf+=2;
   			 for(int m=0; m<lf; m++)
     			putchar(' ');
   		}
   		putchar('\n');
  }
 }
    return 0;
