Math & Science ⇒ "problem" environment

[manflower]

Hello,

I tried looking around, but it is very hard because of google keywords confusing what I want semantically ("problem environment input output" etc.)

I want to create/use some existing environment which its output is as follows for example:

Problem 1.
Input: Graph G=(V,E)
Output: n, Number of cycles in graph

That's an example, of course.
It is similar to the header of the algorithm environment, only I want the Problem heading and not have an actual algorithm below that, just the problem definition. Any ideas?

Oh, and I want "input" and "output" to be in bold, if that matters a lot...

Thanks!

Hi,

it all depends on your particular needs. In the following example I defined a really basic new command (\myprob) that could give you some ideas:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

% creation of a new counter
\newcounter{mycount}
% definition of the command
\newcommand\myprob[2]{%
  \stepcounter{mycount}
  \par\noindent Problem\ \themycount .\\
  {\bfseries Input}: #1\\
  {\bfseries Output}: #2\par
}
  
\begin{document}

\myprob{Graph $G=(V,E)$}{$n$, Number of cycles in graph}

\myprob{another input}{another output}

\end{document}
