ACODE - Alphacode
Alice and Bob need to send secret messages to each other and are discussing ways to encode their messages:
Alice: “Let’s just use a very simple code: We’ll assign ‘A’ the code word 1, ‘B’ will be 2, and so on down to ‘Z’ being assigned 26.”
Bob: “That’s a stupid code, Alice. Suppose I send you the word ‘BEAN’ encoded as 25114. You could decode that in many different ways!”
Alice: “Sure you could, but what words would you get? Other than ‘BEAN’, you’d get ‘BEAAD’, ‘YAAD’, ‘YAN’, ‘YKD’ and ‘BEKD’. I think you would be able to figure out the correct decoding. And why would you send me the word ‘BEAN’ anyway?”
Bob: “OK, maybe that’s a bad example, but I bet you that if you got a string of length 5000 there would be tons of different decodings and with that many you would find at least two different ones that would make sense.”
Alice: “How many different decodings?”
Bob: “Jillions!”
For some reason, Alice is still unconvinced by Bob’s argument, so she requires a program that will determine how many decodings there can be for a given string using her code.
Input
Input will consist of multiple input sets. Each set will consist of a single line of at most 5000 digits representing a valid encryption (for example, no line will begin with a 0). There will be no spaces between the digits. An input line of ‘0’ will terminate the input and should not be processed.
Output
For each input set, output the number of possible decodings for the input string. All answers will be within the range of a 64 bit signed integer.
Example
Input: 25114 1111111111 3333333333 0 Output: 6 89 1

It's literally word play, don't waste your time bugging over repeated WAs

I don't have the faintest idea of how to do it |

very weak test cases, my solution which was missing an obvious edge cases got accepted |

haha! I was so blind to the testcases, We wont be questioned with invalid testcases like 10001 but, the answer to a testcase like : 3120101 will be 1 (CATJA). The comments have more testcases :) |

i think the problem statement is not clear as like in"102," "02" can be treated as 2 but it does accept it when coded this way. So any one getting WA just dont assume the above statement and you will be good to go.

@lahiru. a weak test case means a possibly incorrect solution gets AC, it does not mean a good solution gets WA. A far more likely explanation for your WA is that youve written an incorrect solution. |

Yeah, there is definitely a weak test case somewhere here. There is literally no reason for my code to get WA. I think @kennedy777 was right |
