By laoriu, 10 years ago, In English

Hello everyone!

Today, there will be another CodeForces Round at 18:00 (Moscow time). It is a Div. 2 contest, but Div. 1 participants can take part out of competition also.

My name is Vuong and this is my very first CodeForces round. Hope that this is not the last one. I would like to thanks Maxim Akhmedov(Zlobober) for help me preparing the round, Maria Belova(Delinur) for translating problems into English, and Mike Mirzayanov(MikeMirzayanov) for such a great Polygon and CodeForces.

Be sure to read all problem statements before contest ended. Hope you enjoy the contest.

Good luck and have fun!

UPD The contest is over! Thanks all of you for participating!

Here is top 5 participants:

  1. khykhm110
  2. My_First_Lady

I can go to bed before the system test over!!!! Because my university will cut off the electricity at 11:30, and my computer can last for only 3 hours without outer-power! What nice news!

        Assume we are in the first half of a string. You are to find the segment which you must fix (leftmost and rightmost positions in the first half). Now you can choose the best way to visit all the segment, there are only two of them:

        right - pos + right - left and pos - left + right - left

        Of course, you also have to do min(abs(s[i] - s[n - i - 1]), 26 - abs(s[i] - s[n - i - 1])) operations for every i=1..n/2

            You can take the absolute values, giving

            min(abs(right-pos)+right-left,abs(pos-left)+right-left)

              Well, my implementation ( 8656932 ) was a bit different. So I had to give that extra check, where both left and right were on the same side of pos. Lelby also gave that check ( 8659477 ), but he commented differently. That's where I got confused.

        You have to move from first char which needs to be fixed to the last one (or opposite way if shorter).

        For example if number or fixes for characters in string aaaaacdefg is 0, 3, 4, 5, 6. Then if you are on position 2, you move to position 5, if in position 3, move to 2 and then to 5 and if on 3, then move to 5 first and then to 2...

        We need to operate only with one half of string. Consider we choose left one. If p > n/2 just reflect it. Them found two indicies — 'l' first letter which need to change and 'r' — last letter which need to change. Minimum action for movement will be min(r-p,p-l) * 2 + max(r-p,p-l) if p inside [l;r]. If p is outside first we need to go in this range. Now we know how much ticks we will spent only on movement, during this movement we'll be on each letter. So just calculate cost of each change in range [l;r]. Result will be movement cost + change cost.

        O(n)

        I hope my approach is right :)

    Define root of a set as the node with minimum (av, v).

    Now we can consider all the sets with that root (each of them will be counted once).

    It can be done via simple dymanic programming.

    Take a fixed minumum number low then maximum value is low + d.

    Find number of sub trees which has at least one node with minimum value and does not has any node that bigger then low + d or less then low. It can be done with dynamic programming in O(N).

    Overall complexty is O(ND)

    It overflows, but both overflow the same, so when they subtract the overflow is gone. If you can find a case such that one overflows but the other doesn't (very unlikely and might not exist because 1018»1015), I think their solution will fail. I spent the last 15 minutes on W|A (Wolfram Alpha) trying to do just that, but haven't succeeded. A program would probably do it faster though.

    EDIT: Actually I think now that even if one overflows and the other doesn't, subtracting them will again mean the overflow didn't matter. 281474976645119 makes one overflow and the other not, but it still works as the overflow is ignored.

          Ok thanks. It's different because they find the sum of all numbers and subtract twice the sum of the odds, and since they divide by 2 after overflowing, subtracting no longer always removes the effect of the overflow.

    ← Rev. 2   Vote: I like it +3 Vote: I do not like it

    Every valid set can be uniquely determined by the smallest node in it.(If there are more than 1 node has the smallest value, we choose the one who has the smallest id). So let's choose an node to be our special node, and starts to dfs under the limit that our special node has the smallest val and smallest id and the gap is no more than d. We get a sub-tree of the original one. And considered sub-tree, You can use dp to count how many way you can choose a set which contains the root (our special node)from the sub-tree.

    It's a classical dp problem on trees. dp[node] means the ways to choose a set which contains the root and the others node come from the sub-tree of it. And you want to calculate dp[x] for the the node x, you just go through his son, and we can either not choose the part from this son's sub-tree or just take it, which has dp[son] ways. So in total (1 + dp[son]) ways. Multiply the sons choices up. And we get the ways to choose a set from the sub-tree of x which contains the node x.As we can let every node in the tree to be our root(special node), we can get the answer for the question.

    Check my code hope that helps.

        It's very same situation as — "You got SMS message: 'Mom! Please, send me 300$ to X-XXX-XXX-XX-XX I'm in big trouble!!!'. You can ignore it, and then there is no criminal. But it's possible to find the owner of this number, send the money and then arrest him, because his attempt was succesful". So there is no chance that Samsung will be banned, because solution wasn't sent! But still, temak posted this image and waiting for something.

      While constructing testcase for string hashing is not so easy — hacking similar solution for this problem is very easy (and it is well-known olympiad problem). Just take a look at sequence 2 1 4 3 6 5 8 7 10 9... How many LIS it have? :)

    PRETESTS =/= TESTS, obviously.

    This is the format of the competition. Your solution is tested on some part tests that usually do not cover all corner cases and maximal constraints. After the competition your solution is graded on the official tests.

    pretests are a very small fraction of the entire test

    I don't know the exact reasons, but if I need to guess, there are probably three reasons for that:

    1) Because of pretest/test separation, there's less need of computation while we're in contest; that's why we can get faster feedbacks.

    2) It's much more exciting and fun to wait for system testing to see your actual results.

    3) Hacking mechanism is based on this feature; this is also related to second reason since hacking is fun.

    This is not your first contest, right? There are few tests when you submit, but all tests are tested during system tests...

that My_First_Lady seems to have used different templates on C and E. and submitted C after E in two minutes.

    Yes, that's very suspicious indeed. Sadly I've never seen anyone banned for such reasons which is why we have tons of unrated accounts and/or teams ruining top5 of Div2.

see this two code for 1'st question whats differnt.

include<stdio.h>

include<math.h>

int main() { unsigned long long int n,i,j,k; scanf("%lld",&n); if(n%2==0) { i=n/2; k= i*(i+1); j=-(i*i); printf("%lld",(k+j));

} else { i=n/2; k= i*(i+1); j=pow((i+1),2); printf("%lld",k-j);

}

} 2.

include<stdio.h>

include<math.h>

int main() { unsigned long long int n,i,j,k; scanf("%lld",&n); if(n%2==0) { i=n/2; k= i*(i+1); j=-(i*i); printf("%lld",(k+j));

} else { i=n/2; k= i*(i+1); j=(i+1)*(i+1); printf("%lld",k-j);

}

} but first shows wrong answer and second shows correct answer what the difference between them

    In case the guy really doesn't understand smth and not trolling: The first programs uses pow function (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cmath/pow/) The declaration of this function: double pow (double base, double exponent); — that means result for even integer numbers could be 255.99999999999 instead of 256 since for float(double) numbers those values are pretty same. But here j=pow((i+1),2) you're doing cast to integer. So result could be 255 instead of 256 and no one can guarantee which one exactly.

Most of the solution failed test case 31 and 39 for problem B. They didn't know when to say NO :P

    We're lucky that we don't need to output "START" / "STOP". Most of us don't know when to say "STOP" :D

Heh, had solution for C, but just assuming that there's only one turn, not that the cursor always remains in the first half. Much more complicated to write that way : S

8652439 Why can this solution for problem A can pass all the data? It is an O(n) solution!

    The loop 

    for (int i=1; i<=n; i=i+2)
 s=s+i-i+1;

    is so simple, that compiler (with optimizations on) turns it into

    s = s + n / 2

    because loop is really just incrementing s by 1 on each iteration, and we know precisely the number of iterations. Thus it becomes O(1) solution.

Why the next round will be called "Codeforces Round #277.5 (Div. 2)", not "Codeforces Round #278"?

    Because next contest that will be after 7 day called "Codeforces Round #278", "Codeforces Round #277.5 (Div. 2)" was created after this contest, and will start earlier
