How many problems for each division..?
Contest starts in ~45min.
i am sorry for the last problem in Div1 :(
We were not able to come up with the simple solution that so many people found. All three of me, editorialist and tester found a much harder (and maybe nicer?) solution.
I would ask you to try this version instead:
You can find our original intended solution at Editorial
Thank you Dominater069 for Swaps in strings. Although I couldn't solve it in contest but the solution is so much lovely. (I was trying to compute each block of ABC independently)
What's wrong with this? Getting wrong for the $$$n = 60, d=1800$$$ one. I've lost my mind. Someone, please help.
UPD: I got it. It was due to int overflow. Needed to replace
int po = (1 << till);withint po = (1LL << till);-_-Request for re-evaluation – hidden tests include extra whitespace
Hi,
I believe the hidden tests for Problem SWAPSTR contain extra whitespace characters that are not described in the statement—characters that were absent from the automatic sample input shown in the “Test against Custom Input” runs during the contest.
In the Python code provided by Editorialist, the condition |S| = N does not hold. https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1162787214
Could you please remove those unintended characters and re-evaluate the affected submissions?
Thank you for your time.
