is there any penalty for wrong submissions in atcoder contests?

    Yes. 5 minutes will be added to your time. (But only if you end up solving that question. Wrong submissions on problems, that you don't solve, won't give you any penalties).

    How you solved F? what was the check function in binary search?

Problems D and E are easier than problems B and C.

Can't understand problem statement of B. How to solve?

    First,find the minimum value of right hand side then find value of x accordingly.

    if A-i < L, print L

    if A-i > R, print R

    if A-i is in range [L, R], print A-i

Can anyone help with F? I used binary search + two pointers to check, but got 3 WAs in main test, thanks a lot

    If I understand correctly, you're considering the interval can start at some $$$a_i$$$ and finish at $$$a_i + x$$$, but you may be missing the cases where it can finish at some $$$a_i$$$ and start at $$$a_i - x$$$.

    To handle this I used a copy of the array with the reversed sign, and then you can take the min between both cases. Code

      Can you explain the check function, please? I have been tried to understand others' code, but failed to do it.

        Sure my check function handles x and y coordinates separately. I try to find the minimum moves required for all x and y to end in windows of size mid and then if the sum of both coordinates is less than k that's good'

When I run my $$$\mathcal{O}(n \log^2 X)$$$ solution for F on GCC C++, it runs in ~600ms. However, if I run it on clang C++, it runs in ~190ms. Even funnier, if we change a max function call to if-elses, it TLEs on GCC C++.

    precalculate all squares of num till 4e6 and store them in vec. iterate for all possible x values (<=sqrt(d)) . Then rem=d-x*x. find min possible y less than rem using binary search in vec for y and update ans. Link

It was such a pain debugging G because the small samples didn't cover all cases and the big sample was too large to print anything out. Anyways it was a good problem to learn how not to make your code a mess.

How my desperate solution of F passed all test cases?

    Wow that's a really smart solution. Considering only the $$$x$$$-cordinate ($$$x,y$$$ are independent), I think the intuition here is that you examine all the possible problematic pairs that create the $$$\max_{i}X_{i}-\min_{i}X_{i}$$$ difference.

    Assuming you sort $$$X$$$, at first you look at $$$X_{1}$$$ and $$$X_{N}$$$ (which are the min, max). No matter how you choose the optimal square with side $$$\ell$$$, it will be inside $$$[X_{1},X_{N}]$$$ so you will always just have make $$$X_{1}$$$ bigger to match the left side of the square and $$$X_{N}$$$ smaller to match the right side of the square, in total $$$X_{N}-X_{1}-\ell$$$ times.

    After you handle $$$X_{1},X_{N}$$$ change them so they fit the square. Now the min/max pair that will be problematic is $$$X_{2},X_{N-1}$$$, so you continue using the same logic if it is actually problematic, i.e if $$$X_{N-1}-X_{2} >\ell$$$ (notice that if $$$X_{N-1}-X_{2}>\ell$$$ you can also be sure that the square will lie inside $$$[X_{2},X_{N-1}]$$$). Also you don't really have to stop the loop since any pair afterwards will still have a smaller difference than $$$\ell$$$.

Hints are cool, but I think something happened to the code formatting in the English editorial of F :Clueless:
