If you are/were getting a WA/RE verdict on problems from this contest, you can get the smallest possible counter example for your submission on cfstress.com. To do that, click on the relevant problem's link below, add your submission ID, and edit the table to increase/decrease the constraints.
I've also added a new feature to view progress of your judgement in near real-time. (For example, the current state of your ticket, how many inputs were evaluated, etc).
If you are not able to find a counter example even after changing the parameters, reply to this thread, mentioning the contest_id, problem_index and submission_id.
my divide and conquer solution for f
https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1660/submission/152497191
Can you explain ur solution
in problem I made simple observation that whenever number of negative is greater
let say r = number of negative in subarray — number of pos in subarray
if r >0 and r%3 == 0 then subarray will be promissing
I used divide and conquer to calculate those subarray
There is a solution in the f2 order_set or fenw_tree.This is awesome
Can anyone please point out for me the difference between these two submissions:
152864441(I used vector and got WA)
152864364 (I used array and got AC)
Thanks in advance!!!
Most likely this is due to integer overflow with arrays.
Can you elaborate more for me ? I'm still confused. Thank you very much!
Look at expression in line 21:
if((n == 1 && vec[0] > 1) || (vec[n — 1] — vec[n — 2] > 1))
The condition behind the OR doesn't check for vector size, so for n == 1, then you are evaluating this: (vec[0] — vec[-1] > 1)
Imagine this input:
1
1
1
Then:
(n == 1 && vec[0] > 1) || (vec[0] — vec[-1] > 1)
(1 == 1 && 1 > 1) || (1 — vec[-1] > 1)
(true && false) || (1 — vec[-1] > 1)
false || (1 — ?? > 1)
So basically you are accessing vec[-1]. Depending on the value in that "illegal" memory position, it may be true or false. Same happens for arr[-1], but you just go lucky there with the memory value there at the time of the submit.
Wow, now I get that! Thanks very much!
Does the solution of F1 take into account the adjacent situation?
How can I solve C. Get an Even String with dp ?
To solve 1660C with DP we should start by finding the recursive solution: for each i in the strings there are 2 options: I either remove the current element, or I remove elements until I reach the next occurrence of this character in the string (if there is any). We recur on both options and take the minimum result.
The naive approach to finding out how many elements are until current element and next occurrence of character is a simple linear scan. We can speed it up by a LOT by first scanning the string and then storing the positions of the characters in the string in a
vector<set<int>> pos(26)
, where index stores the character type, and the elements in the set store the indexes where this element occurs.After that simple (but most likely necessary) optimization, we can notice one thing: if I happen to be in the same index again, the best solution is going to be the same! So I simply store it in a memo vector.
This is my submission for additional clarity: 163585297
It's gonna be pretty simple translating it to a simple iterative bottom-up approach! This exercise is left for you.
I think there is a mistake in tutorial for problem C. Instead of
used
it should beprev
.Can someone give me the DP solution of number C? I think it will help me get intuition faster to this types of problems.
Can anyone give counter test case for my solution for D here it is:257423322 getting wrong ans on test 2
I tried to analyse your code :
pair<ll,pair<ll,ll>> give_mx(vll &v,ll i,ll j){ ll prod=1; for(int k=i;k<=j;++k)prod*=v[k];
suppose i = 2 and j = n-1; so you will make j-i iterations which is n-2 and if n=1e5 so the you will have product of pow(2,1e5) which is impossible because as we know that max value of long integer cant be more than (in this range 2^62) so in the process you will get bad behaviour of overflow , just if I'm wrong just tell me maybe i couldn't clearly understood your code
