Indeed, the conversion has to be done not only for the cosinus ^^
I donāt understand whatās going wrong here:
double currLon = Math.PI / 180 * Convert.ToDouble(LON);
double currLat = Math.PI / 180 * Convert.ToDouble(LAT);
double lat = Math.PI / 180.0 * Convert.ToDouble(fields[4]);
double lon = Math.PI / 180.0 * Convert.ToDouble(fields[5]);
double x = (currLon - lon) * Math.Cos((currLat + lat)/2);
double y = currLat - lat;
double d = Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(x, 2) + Math.Pow(y, 2)) * 6371;
I keep getting Zoo de Lunaret as the result on the first test instead of the the correct result.
Where is my calculation going wrong?
Beware: the decimal numbers use the comma (,) as decimal separator. Remember to turn the comma (,) into dot (.) if necessary in order to use the data in your program.

Thanks for that, I realized I didnāt do a replace on the initial position values (I was doing it on record values). It made a difference, but now Iām still stuck getting Hotel de Ville as the answer.
The relevant code looks like:
LON = LON.Replace(',', '.');
double currLon = Math.PI / 180 * Convert.ToDouble(LON);
LAT = LAT.Replace(',', '.');
double currLat = Math.PI / 180 * Convert.ToDouble(LAT);
DEFIB = DEFIB.Replace(',', '.');
string[] fields = DEFIB.Split(';');
double lat = Math.PI / 180.0 * Convert.ToDouble(fields[4]);
double lon = Math.PI / 180.0 * Convert.ToDouble(fields[5]);
double x = (currLon - lon) * Math.Cos((currLat + lat)/2);
double y = currLat - lat;
double d = Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(x, 2) + Math.Pow(y, 2)) * 6371;
Any ideas?
longitude is given before latitude, youāll have to switch your fields indices

Ah, whoops! Thank you!
Hello, I have a problem with this quest. I consider my algorithm well-working but the system says that the ācomplete file 2ā failed. Any ideas?
`Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String LON = in.next();
String LAT = in.next();
int N = in.nextInt();
in.nextLine();
String result = "";
double distance = 999999999;
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
String DEFIB = in.nextLine();
String[] elements = DEFIB.split(";");
double lon = Double.parseDouble(LON.replaceAll(",", "."));
double lat = Double.parseDouble(LAT.replaceAll(",", "."));
double longt = Double.parseDouble(elements[4].replaceAll(",", "."));
double lat2 = Double.parseDouble(elements[5].replaceAll(",", "."));
double a = (lat2+lon)/2;
double x = (lon - longt)*Math.cos(a);
double y = lat - lat2;
double d = Math.sqrt(x*x+y+y)*6371;
if(d<distance){
distance = d;
result = elements[1];
}
}
// Write an action using System.out.println()
// To debug: System.err.println("Debug messages...");
System.out.println(result);`
Thank you for any help
Conversion degrees -> radians is missing
My code pass the tests even if I leave input coordinates in degree.
apples + oranges
EDIT: also (x*x+y+y). are you even trying?
This saved me, thanks so much. Using the given formula was definitely why I was only getting 75%. Using this basic distance formula helped. sighs I knew that formula looked overly complicated for no reason.

Guys, Pleae help me. I have an error, and I really donāt understand what is the problem, someone pelase explain me what should I look for while debugging, the error is this :
ps. I am using c++ and to transfom the string to double I use stod(sting)

shouldnāt it be obvious from the error message that you are trying to convert the wrong string?
I had this problem too. 1, 2 and 4th tests are passed, but 3rd failed. But when I submit my code, I had reached 100%!
I found that in some lines there are commas in the name or something, be sure to replace ALL commas (for 100% solution)
Test (Exact Position) expects āCimetiere Saint-Etienneā. But there is no āCimetiere Saint-Etienneā in input.Can someone explaint that for me?
There is oneā¦ Scroll, there are lots of entries ^^
So,then can someone help me? Canāt pass Exact Position. Maybe problem in this part(calculations)
DEFIB = DEFIB.split(ā ; ');
var x = ( LON * Math.PI / 180 - DEFIB[ 4 ] * Math.PI / 180 ) * Math.cos( ( LAT * Math.PI / 180 + DEFIB[ 5 ] * Math.PI / 180 ) / 2 );
var y = LAT * Math.PI / 180 - DEFIB[ 5 ] * Math.PI / 180;
var d = Math.sqrt( x * x + y * y ) * 6371;
if( d < min || min == 0){
min = d;
index = i;
}
At least, you forgot to change ā,ā by ā.ā
Oh goodness I just didnāt get the precision needed until i realized that i properly replaced the comma to a point on the defibrillators coordinates but NOT on my own positions coordinates facepalm.
