BRUUUUHHHHHHH I didn't notice the change in B until after the contest :( such BS

Will a tutorial on problem G appear?

Are there written solutions for the problems? My English listening is poor.

When is the text editorial?

WHERE D hacked ? anyone have test case ?

Is it a tendency, that now we have video editorials instead text one? I don't know, right now, is it better or worse, but definetly text editorials provides faster acsess to solution idea, because reading is faster than watching video. On another hand video edits can be easier to understand, so I personally prefer there both would be

Can we solve D using DSU? If not why

The sub-array of f problem is continuous, so you shouldn't use that much n*(n+1)*(n+2)/6

i prefer text editorials

where G

Is there any text tutorial? :(

Yoo everyone, I was trying to upsolve the problems and I submitted the code for problem D and decided to take a break and now when I came back, it's been over 15 mins but my code is still in the queue, idk wht to do

Can anyone tell me why the first code is getting AC but the second one got hacked and now is showing TLE? Same logic. But in first one im passing from left to right and in second one im passing from right to left.

Thanks!

Code 1

	public static void solve() {
		int n = ii(), k = ii();
		List<Integer> A = new ArrayList<>();
		for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
			A.add(ii());
		}
		Collections.sort(A, (a , b) -> Integer.compare(b, a));
		for(int i = 0; i < n - 1; i += 2) {
			int d = A.get(i) - A.get(i + 1);
			int min = Math.min(k, d);
			A.set(i + 1, A.get(i + 1) + min);
			k -= min;
		}
		long alice = 0, bob = 0;
		for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
			if(i % 2 == 0) alice += A.get(i);
			if(i % 2 != 0) bob += A.get(i);
		}
		System.out.println(alice - bob);
	}

Code 2

	public static void solve() {
		int n = ii(), k = ii();
		int [] A = iir(n);
		Arrays.sort(A);
		for(int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i -= 2) {
			int d = A[i + 1] - A[i];
			int min = Math.min(k, d);
			A[i] += min;
			k -= min;
		}
		long x = 0, alice = 0, bob = 0;
		for(int i = n - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
			if(x % 2 == 0) alice += A[i];
			if(x++ % 2 != 0) bob += A[i];
		}
		System.out.println(alice - bob);
	}

When will ratings get updated??

• Is there any good video about the game of Nim? I still can't quite get it through reading only.
