Description
Imagine an infinite table with rows and columns numbered using the natural numbers. The following figure shows a procedure to traverse such a table assigning a consecutive natural number to each table cell: This enumeration of cells can be used to represent complex data types using natural numbers: A pair of natural numbers (i, j) is represented by the number corresponding to the cell in row i and column j. For instance, the pair (3, 2) is represented by the natural number 17; this fact is noted by P2(3, 2) = 17. The pair representation can be used to represent n-tuples. A triplet (a, b, c) is represented by P2(a, P2(b, c)). A 4-tuple (a, b, c, d) is represented by P2(a, P2(b, P2(c, d))). This procedure can be generalized for an arbitrary n: Pn(a1, …, an) = P2(a1, Pn−1(a2, …, an)), where Pn denotes the n-tuple representation function, n ≥ 2. For example P3(2, 0, 1) = 12. A list of arbitrary length ‹a1, …, an› is represented by L(‹a1, …, an›) = P2(n, Pn(a1, …, an)). For example, L(‹0, 1›) = 12. The Association of Convex Makers (ACM) uses this clever enumeration scheme in a polygon representation system. The system can represent a polygon, defined by integer coordinates, using a natural number as follows: given a polygon defined by a vertex sequence ‹(x1, y1), …, (xn, yn)› assign the natural number: L(‹P2(x1, y1), …, P2(xn, yn)›). ACM needs a program that, given a natural numbers that represents a polygon, calculates the area of the polygon. It is guaranteed that the given polygon is a simple one, i.e. its sides do not intersect. As an example of the problem, the triangle with vertices at (1,1)
, (2,0)
and (0,0)
is codified with the number 2141
. The area of this triangle is 1
.
Input
The input consists of several test cases. Each test case is given in a single line of the input by a natural number representing a polygon. The end of the test cases is indicated with *
.
Output
One line per test case, preserving the input order. Each output line contains a decimal number telling the area of the corresponding encoded polygon. Areas must be printed with 1 decimal place, truncating less significative decimal places.
