Explanation of f2 is copy-paste of f1, please fix it
F2 tutorial is missing (F1 has been repeated). Also, The problem F1 really should've been ahead of the problem E (if you want to sort the problems according to their difficulties).
vovuh , F2 tutorial is missing
Can F2 be solved by finding articulation edges / bridges in the graph and as soon as we find bridge edge we merge them and after that we pick any random adjacent edges of vertex 1 so as to make its degree exactly d. and after make the whole tree connected using kruskal type algorithm? Here is my submission for reference of what i am talking. I am getting wrong answer on test 37. Pls tell if i am wrong. Thanks
The idea for F2 is that if we remove vertex 1 then the graph will be K components and if K > D there is NO answer otherwise we should connect this K components with D edges after that we can choose any MST of the remaining graph.
hope this test case will help you to understand why you are getting wa :) 7 8 4 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 1 7 7 6 5 4
The problem is that bridges tell us only that if that edge is removed,the graph will become disconnected, if u remove some set of edges which are not bridges it is still possible that the graph may become disconnected, that is why the above logic doesn't work.
Turns out that my solution for D with maps having long double keys passed. I checked the test cases and would suggest the problem setters to do the same too. From what it appears, the cases seem weird. I've linked a screenshot regarding my concerns.
BledDest MikeMirzyanov Vovuh
My idea for D, we can simply store -bi/ai in long long double in a map and then iterate to find the value for which maximum indices have the same value and it shall work https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1133/submission/264512885
why does this solution gets TLE whereas this solution gets Accepted?
use pypy, it's faster than pypy3 in terms of basic numerical calculations.

MikeMirzayanov you Have Mistakenly provide E question tutorial in F question. Can you please explain 1133F2 — Spanning Tree with One Fixed Degree solution idea.
"How to do transitions from dpi,j? The first transition is pretty intuitive: just skip the i-th (0-indexed) student. Then we can set dp[i+1][j+1]:=max(dp[i+1][j+1],dp[i,j])."
i think it should be dp[i+1][j] as by skipping ith student we are not increasing size. MikeMirzayanov
I think it's a typo. It should be dp[i+1][j+1] = max(dp[i+1][j+1],dp[i][j+1])
I also stumbled upon this, will wait for the clarification of right transition..
I'll will put the way I interpreted it.
When you are in a given state (i , j) (where the students in [1,...,i] are the possible students you can use and 'j' is the maximum quantity of teams you can use) you have to take the best between pick or not the student 'i'.
When you dont't pick student 'i' you will have to pick the solution for the case in which you have the students in [1,...,(i — 1)] as possible students to take and 'j' as the maximum quantity of teams you can use. This describe exactly what is in the state (i — 1 , j).
When you pick student 'i' you have to see what is the best way to pick it. So you look at the states when you allow (j — 1) teams as maximum quantity of teams and students in [1,...,z] (with z <= i) as possible students (states of the form (z , j — 1) with z <= i). When you pick a state like that you could create a new team and put the maximum quantity of possible students (which are in [(z + 1),...,i]) in it to get a candidate for the state (i , j). But remember that you want the student 'i' to be in it. So you want to see only states (z , j — 1) (with z <= i) such that you could create a new team and put all students in [(z + 1),...,i] in it.
With a good care this can be done in O(n*k): 51128813

In D, why we should ensure numerator is non-negative?
We should treat fractions
and 
as the same one.
@Vovuh How is ur editorial of F2 different from this? . Aren't they same?
In div2 D, Why does use of unordered_map gives a TLE but normal map works fine ? Solution 51071398 gives TLE with unordered_map but this 51071641 gets Accepted with map
unordered_maphas O(1) complexity on average, but input can be engineered so that it take O(n) collisions for each access. Read more about it here.How to do problem C using binary search?
Sort the array in ascending order. For every element in the array (let it be arr) find how many elements satisfy ≥ arri and ≤ arri + 5. Take maximum length of all such ranges. See this code for the implementation.
For problem D we can prevent precision error by using BigDecimal for example in java, the largest fraction is 1000000000 / 999999999 = 1.000000001000000001000000001, the numbers after the 1. well represent the rounding we will use inside the BigDecimal class, 51105537
In E. Why can't we just simply use two pointers. My idea is to sort this array then use two pointers as below a[n+1] = 2e9; for(int l = 1, r = 1; l <= r && r <= n+1;) { if(a[r] — a[l] <= 5) r++; else{ len[m++] = r-l; l = r; } } sort(len, len+m, greater()); for(int i = 0; i < k; ++i) ans += len[i]; But I get wrong answer on test 25. Can some one help me?
This example can help you: 10 1 11 9 8 7 6 5 5 5 5 5
DP in editorial for E is something different from its definition.
In that solution we just skip intermediate students (i, i + cnt_i), but in this case dp[i + z][j + 1] (z = 1 ... cnt_i — 1) is not increased as it should be.
Consider following example: n=3, k=1 a[] = 1 1 1
Then editorial code outputs: dp[i][j]=
But by definition dp[1][1] = dp[2][1] = 1, because we form one team from these students.
Can someone please explain what dp[i][j] really stands for?
can E be solved using divide and conquer after sorting?
Can anybody tell me why this solution got TLE my submission
Can someone explain why the maximum number of students is possible only when there are exactly k teams as written in the solution for E?
f2 is missing!
my solution for F1 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1133/submission/51458164 is giving correct output on my computer but I am getting wrong answer on codeforces. I am not able to understand the reason. Can anyone help me out ?
I saw your code and ran it on ideone. It works fine on ideone. So I submitted it just to be sure and got WA, just as you got. Then I noticed the size of the vector you allocated in the bfs function. It should be n+1. I got AC after changing it. https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1133/submission/51472660 This is the AC code. Only the size is changed, nothing else. It worked on your machine and ideone probably because it allowed out of bound call, and luckily there was no garbage value in that memory.
Yes I got it. Thanks !
In problem E, why can't we just loop k times, in each loop get the team with max members under the given condition, take the remaining students and continue till k teams are formed. My submission
I was doing the same thing and got wrong on 52 as well, did you figure it out? Please tell me if you did.
$$$k = 2$$$
$$$arr = [1, 6, 6, 7, 7, 12]$$$
Can any one help why my binary search solution isn't working? https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1133/submission/55474924
When passing a vector to a function, you should pass it by reference, otherwise it may lead to TLE, just like it did for you (read more here). Also, in your binary search function, you do not define your variable "ans" when you create it, which can be problematic if you never set the value during your binary search.
I would also suggest using standard C++ lower_bound or upper_bound functions when doing a binary search on a sorted array (or in your case, a vector). It might take some time and practice to learn how to use them but it will be really useful and you won't have to write your own binary searches when it is unnecessary.
OMG, this silly mistake I was doing it whole time in many questions, thanks a lot for pointing out, just checked lower_bound function it's really helpful. all the three tips were helpful, BTW, can you help me with this dynamic programming question https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/158/problem/E I am really stuck, not able to understand how to form the base cases (i,e. initial values of 2d array dp[][]). Thanks Again
I can see that the editorial of that contest (link) has a few comments regarding this problem and you might find them helpful.
Also, when you need help with a problem it is a good idea to ask for help by creating a separate blog for it, I have noticed that people tend to answer these more often than comments under blogs like this.
For 1133E — K Balanced Teams, I've used a backward DP that's my best friend, unlike the forward DP given in the editorial.
Here is my submission.
Can you explain your solution?
It's pretty much like in the editorial. The $$$cnt_i$$$ in my solution represents the number of students in a team, if the $$$i^{th}$$$ student is the last one in it.
And the dp goes in the similar manner. The $$$dp_{i,j}$$$ represents the maximum total number of students, in upto j teams, while considering the first $$$i$$$ students.
You can decide to take or not take a student, and the dp simply states that, in the for loops.
It's been 3 months so I had to look into the solution itself again to understand what I'd done. Do let me know if you need more clarification.
Can someone help me figure out why am I getting TLE. I have written almost the same code as in the solution provided.84302770
You can solve that problem C by map easily.
vovuh, editorials are not linked to contest materials of problems. can u please look into it?
