Consider a simpler problem:
Every time you press a light only the light pressed will be toggled.
Now it is obvious that if a light is pressed event number of times it will be in it's initial state (ON).
Now to solve the initial problem:
Let
pressed[3][3]
be the initial matrix andtoggled[3][3]
the matrix of total lamp presses.In the beginning
pressed[][] = toggled[][]
.Now if
pressed[i][j] != 0
then we have to addpressed[i][j]
totoggled[i][j + 1]
,toggled[i][j - 1]
,toggled[i - 1][j]
andtoggled[i + 1][j]
. Now we are left with the first, much simpler problem.But be careful when handling edge lamps.
My solution (see how I handle edge lamps): http://codeforces.com/contest/275/submission/20742578
I hope I helped you.
