Programming Question

gistfile1.txt

So there's this game called Monster Hunter. Think of it like the Japanese WOW. It is extremely addicting and can ruin your life.

In the game, there are items called Charms, which you can think of like any other game accessory.

A Charm has two components. It has --

1. Slots
2. Skills

The game is constrained in such a way that every charm has 1-2 to skills and 0-3 slots.

A Skill also has two components. It has --

1. Name/Type
2. Value

For example. Evasion +5. Critical -3. Get it?

In MH, you get a lot of charms, which takes up valuable space in your inventory. We want to throw away "lesser" charms. So, let's compare some charms.

Charm A: 1 slot, Evasion +5
Charm B: 1 slot, Evasion +6

Which one is the better Charm? Charm B of course. Next!

Charm A: 1 slot, Evasion +5, Hearing +2
Charm B: 1 slot, Evasion +4, Hearing +3

Which one should we pick now? The answer is neither! Next!

Charm A: 1 slot, Evasion +1, Hearing +2
Charm B: 0 slot, Critical -3, Sharpness +5

The answer is STILL neither. Let's look at the last one.

Charm A: 2 slot, Crit +3
Charm B: 1 slot, Evasion -3

Which one? Charm A is the answer.

Now, write a program that compares two charms. A<=>B should yield 1 if A is better, -1 if B is better, 0 if they are not comparable.
