Also, if you have some original and engaging problem ideas, and you’re interested in them being used in CodeChef's contests, you can share them here.
Yesterday's contest has a 30 minute long queue.
Can you confirm faster judging time today?
Unrated contests where the problems have higher (#test files * time limit) than recommended will face issues. Rated contests will not, as we have near-unlimitedly-scalable checkers turned on for these contests.
I have a suggestion to assign weight to every problem according to difficulty. Is that possible? CodeChef_admin
Yes, it is possible — we have organized such contests. But it is a conscious decision to have our rated contests with equal weights. There are multiple pros and cons to both systems, and we've just decided on equal weights.
Can GOOD_OPR be solved without calculating the formula for SUM(i*j*k) L <= i < j < k <= R ?
I don't think so.
Can anyone tell me why my submission is incorrect? https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/95676624 I have been trying for an hour to figure it out
Try this
1
4
1 2 5 4
the answer should be 2.
Can anyone give the counter-test case for the submission?
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/95659994 https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/95656645 trying greedy. https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/95673011 trying dp.
Thank you!
Did anyone else solve the MST problem using divide and conquer and rollback?
The min OR spanning tree problem without queries
Queries make it much more difficult
Did something like this in UTLA,
What is the name of this kind of dynamics when we maintain the state of the dynamics so that it always contains only pairs that end before
i
?Can anyone suggest tasks where a similar approach can be used?
What is the point of making straight forward probability problem in contest? Is this a math exam?
there is modulo inverse also, you need to know how to take care of that as well. Also, you can't fit in all the answers within int or long long, so u need to take care of the overflows.
that is the question. NOT SOME MATH PROBLEM.
I did it bro I know very well that but if they to make it math they can generate math exam not competitive contest
Problem : here Can someone help me with a test case this code fails at?
Problem : here
We have to run the loop in reverse order( j -> n-1 to 0) ( see in editorial)
for string 01110111, the sum of one's in answer should be 3( 10000000, 00001001)
but the sum of one's in your output is 4 (10001000 , 00010001)
