Problem Description
The player starts with a prize of $1, and is asked a sequence of n questions. For each question, he may
quit and keep his prize.
answer the question. If wrong, he quits with nothing. If correct, the prize is doubled, and he continues with the next question.
After the last question, he quits with his prize. The player wants to maximize his expected prize.
Once each question is asked, the player is able to assess the probability p that he will be able to answer it. For each question, we assume that p is a random variable uniformly distributed over the range t .. 1.

 

Input
Input is a number of lines, each with two numbers: an integer 1 ≤ n ≤ 30, and a real 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Input is terminated by a line containing 0 0. This line should not be processed.

 

Output
For each input n and t, print the player's expected prize, if he plays the best strategy. Output should be rounded to three fractional digits.

 

Sample Input
1 0.5
1 0.3
2 0.6
24 0.25
0 0

Sample Output
1.500
1.357
2.560
230.138

没看懂前一道题和后一道题有什么区别，感觉这题就是生拉硬套的扯淡。

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
double ex[30+5]={0.0};//best expect
double mon[30+5]={0.0};//best money
double t=0.0;//probability p is t < p < 1
int n=0;//number of question
double bp=0.0;//boundary probability, if p > bp then get in the question  otherwise get out the question
int main()
{
    mon[0]=1;//after answer 0 question,the index begin with 1
    for(int i=1;i<=30;i++)
    {
        mon[i]=mon[i-1]*2;
    }
    while(scanf("%d%lf",&n,&t)!=EOF&&(n>0))
    {
        ex[n]=mon[n];
        //from ex[i+1] get the ex[i],ex[0] is our answers
        for(int i=n-1;i>=0;i--)
        {
            bp=mon[i]/ex[i+1];// 2^i/ex[i+1] is the boundary probability ==>  bp * ex[i+1] > 2^i
            if(bp<=t)//bp is not in [t,1) range, all p in [t,1) will let the p * ex[i+1] >2^i
            {

            }
