Quadtree
Time Limit: 1 Second Memory Limit: 32768 KB
While searching for treasures in an ancient Aztec ruin, Florida Jones (the brother of famous Indiana Jones) stumbles across a papyrus roll lettered with a long string of symbols. There are three different symbols occuring in the string which we will call B, W and Q here.Being somewhat experienced in cryptography, Florida Jones recognizes the code immediately as the famous Quadtree Encoding Scheme that has been invented 3000 years ago.
With the Quadtree system, secret pictures (like treasure maps) were encoded
in the following way: If the whole picture was black, it was encoded by the
letter B. If it was completely white, it was encoded by W. If both colors were
used (what was usually the case), it was encoded by Qxxxx where each x was a
string that recursively encoded one quarter of the picture (in the order top
left, top right, bottom left, bottom right). As the Aztecs always used quadratic
pictures with n*n pixels where n was a power of two, this method always worked
perfectly.
A 2*2 chess board, for instance, would be encoded as QWBBW, a 4*4 chess board
as QQWBBWQWBBWQWBBWQWBBW.
Your job is to decode the quadtree string and output the picture in the XBM format (see output specification).
Input
The input contains an integer n (8 <= n <= 512) on the first line, giving
the size of the picture in pixels per row/column. n will always be a power of
two.
On the second line, a string consisting of the letters B, W and Q follows. The
string encodes a picture with n*n pixels with the quadtree scheme.
Output
- On the first line, print "#define quadtree_width n" where n is the picture size given in the input.
- On the second line, print "#define quadtree_height n" accordingly.
- On the third line, print "static char quadtree_bits[] = {".
- Then, print n lines (each one encoding one pixel row of the picture) with
n/8 hexadecimal numbers per line.
Each hexadecimal number is composed of 8 bits that encode 8 pixels from left to right (where the leftmost bit has the value 1 and the rightmost bit has the value 128). The hexadecimal numbers should be printed in the form 0xdd where d is one character of the set { 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f }.
Example: The 8 pixels WBBBBWWB would be written as 0x9e. (2+4+8+16+128 = 158 = 0x9e)
Print a comma after each hexadecimal number. - On the last line, print "};".
