p156ex14: Bills Bills Bills

A gas company has a monthly billing rate based on the total gas consumption by its customers. The charge varies according to the meter reading (m³). The rate structure is as following:

Total Consumption	Total Charge
For the first 10m³ or less	$6.59 (minimum bill)
For the next 20m³	23.73 cents/m³
For the next 55m³	22.71 cents/m³
For the next 85m³	21.78 cents/m³
For the next 170m³ or above	20.85 cents/m³

Note: There are situations where the final reading may be less than the initial reading. For example, the initial reading might be 9980 while the final reading is 0015 indicating a consumption during the month of 35m³ because the meter has 'rolled over'.

Input

For each customer, the program should read an account number 0 ≤ A ≤ 99999 and two meter readings 0 ≤ M1, M2 < 10000. M1 represents the reading at the beginning of the month while M2 represents the reading at the beginning of the next month. The first line of input will be the account number. The second line of input will be M1 followed by a space then M2. The input will be terminated if and only if a negative account number is entered.

Output

For each customer, your program should re-output the customer's account number and then on a new line output the final charge in dollars rounded off to two decimal places.

Sample Input

Sample Output

Account_#:_34567
Bill:_6.59
Account_#:_12345
Bill:_7.78

The '_' are used to represent spaces. Your program should output spaces instead of the underscores.

You are only given a 20 byte preview of your WA outputs. It means that the rest of the output is hidden.

is the cost of the gas from 10-30 m3 23.73 cents/m3 or is it from 10-20 23.73 cents/m3. ie: 
10-30      23.73 cents/m3
30-85      22.71 cents/m3 
...

or
10-20      23.73 cents/m3
20-55      22.71 cents/m3

Actually, nevermind, I'm really not sure. From what I first thought, and what the sample shows, it's actually the new price for the next 20m3 on top of the previous prices. ie if the reading was 15m3, like the second example in the sample, it's 5 * 23.73 + 659 (the rate for the first $10) cents.

Not sure though, could require clarification.

Yeah, that's what I thought at first. However, looking again and answering this question, the "Total Charge" heading in the table was a bit confusing.

I believe that is a perfectly reasonable comment, John. Unlike you, he is making an attempt to be an useful member of society.

And more on topic, I don't see how it is repeating the same thing twice, Howard.

1. You're not outputting the account number.
2. Your cost calculation is wrong - the values given in the problem are PER m^3.

Is the first test case missing a '-1'? My program at most only does 160 loop executions per test case. There's no way I could have gotten a TLE if the test case is valid...is there?:confused:
