# Task 1: Special Bit Characters # Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar # # You are given an array of binary bits that ends with 0. # # Valid sequences in the bit string are: # # [0] -decodes-to-> "a" # [1, 0] -> "b" # [1, 1] -> "c" # Write a script to print 1 if the last character is an “a” otherwise print 0. # # Example 1 # Input: @bits = (1, 0, 0) # Output: 1 # # The given array bits can be decoded as 2-bits character (10) followed by 1-bit character (0). # # Example 2 # Input: @bits = (1, 1, 1, 0) # Output: 0 # # Possible decode can be 2-bits character (11) followed by 2-bits character (10) i.e. the last character is not 1-bit character. import re import sys if __name__ == "__main__": input = sys.argv[1:] if (len(input) < 1 or len(list(filter(lambda x: re.search(r'[^01]', x), input))) > 0): sys.exit("Input error") i = 0 while i < len(input)-1: if (input[i] == '1'): i += 1 i += 1 if len(input)-1 == i and input[i] == '1': sys.exit("Input error") if (len(input) > i): print(1) else: print(0)
