I’ve some issue about list related problem in python.Let me describe this problem first …
“Contestant who earns a score equal to or greater than the k -th place finisher’s score will advance to the next round, as long as the contestant earns a positive score…” — an excerpt from contest rules.
A total of n participants took part in the contest ( n ≥ k ), and you already know their scores. Calculate how many participants will advance to the next round.
Input
The first line of the input contains two integers n and k (1 ≤ k ≤ n ≤ 50) separated by a single space.
The second line contains n space-separated integers a 1, a 2, …, a n (0 ≤ a i ≤ 100), where a i is the score earned by the participant who got the i -th place. The given sequence is non-increasing (that is, for all i from 1 to n - 1 the following condition is fulfilled: a i ≥ a i + 1).
Output
Output the number of participants who advance to the next round.
input:
8 5
10 9 8 7 7 7 5 5
output:
6
input:
4 2
0 0 0 0
output:
0
Note
In the first example the participant on the 5th place earned 7 points. As the participant on the 6th place also earned 7 points, there are 6 advancers.
In the second example nobody got a positive score.
According to the Test case,
input:
17 14
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
output:
14
But 14 in which logic??
According to what i understand it it should be 2.Because,16 and 15 will go in next round,isn’t it?
Here is my code:
a,b = input().split()
c = list(map(int,input().split()))
if c.count(int(b)) != 0:
if c.count(int(b)) == len(c):
print(len(c))
else:
cc = c[:c.index(int(b))]
print(len(cc))
else:
if c.count(c[0]) == len(c) and c[0] != 0:
print(len(c))
else:
print(0)
How can i fix this?
