Hello everyone!!

Consider the Fitting Shelves Problem

The solution : We can consider all multiples of "m" less than equal to "w" to find the minimum remaining space.

My claim : We only have to consider the highest or second highest multiple of "m" to find the minimum remaining space.

Actually I have not been able to prove this but it works correctly on most of the inputs. So, any prove as to why this will work correctly or any contradictory test case that fails with this approach will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi everyone!

I was trying to solve this problem which came in last year ICPC Gwalior-Pune Onsite Round.

My approach :

I first checked whether C is present either in A or in B, if so, then answer will be length(A) + length(B) Otherwise , found the longest prefix of C that occurs as a suffix of A (say, X) and longest suffix of C that occurs as prefix of B (say, Y). Then if X+Y <= length(C), answer will be length(A) + length(B) + (length(C) — (X+Y)) , else if X+Y > length(C), then answer is length(A) + length(B) + (length(C) — max(X,Y)).

The verdict I am getting is Wrong Answer. Can anyone please point out where am I going wrong?
