Hello, everybody!
Yesterday I tried to solve this problem on spoj. I spent about three hours on it, but I didn't manage to solve it. In the comments I read that there is a solution in O(n) time complexity. Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance! :)
Obviously, for non-negative Ai, Wi = Wi - 1 + 1. Making it smaller wouldn't help anything.
Take the last negative Ai. We can see that the sum of AiWi to its right is
. The first term is fixed; the second works as the last element of a modified array A'. If it's negative, Wi = 2; otherwise, we can repeat the same idea on A'.
This leads to a simple implementation with one traversal of the array.
