GreenGrape's blog

Hey, Codeforces!

Hope that the last few days were quite productive for all of you in terms of rest and pleasure. Time to forget about messing with handle colors and get back to coding!

I'm proud to usher the first contest of the year — Codeforces Round #456, which is going to be held on Friday, 17:35 MSK. The round will be rated for all division 2 participants. Anyway, we will be glad to see whoever decides to join us out-of-competition :)

The authors are — GreenGrape and rek (don't worry, it's all about New Year magic ^^). My heartfelt gratitude to Kolya (KAN) for his invaluable help in round coordination, Grisha (vintage_Vlad_Makeev) and Oleg (xen) for testing and correcting statements, Dima (cdkrot) and Gleb (Glebodin) for preliminary solving, AmirReza (Arpa) for close reading and Mike (MikeMirzayanov) for awesome Codeforces and Polygon platforms.

We look forward to brightening up your cold winter evening :)

GL & HF!

UPD. There will be five problems with the following scoring:
500 — 1000 — 1750 — 2000 — 2500
As usual, it's strictly recommended to look through all problems :)

UPD. Please note that the registration was delayed for a few hours.

UPD. The contest is over.
It turned out to be a little bit more complicated than we expected. Still we hope you learned something new :)

        Expected number of fishes caught = Σ P(catching fish at (xi,yi))

        Now, select k distinct (xi, yi) such that sum is maximised.

        P(catching fish at (xi,yi)) = (#Net positions covering (xi,yi))/(#All Net positions)

        We can start by selecting middle element, and adding neighbors in the order of decreasing probability (using priority queue)

That moment when all you do in life is play DotA 2 and you can't even solve problem C which discusses the Hero Zeus' ulti.

»
6 years ago, # |
  Vote: I like it +28 Vote: I do not like it

My thought process while trying (and failing) to solve C:

At first I was overwhelmed by all the information, but then I realized I can probably store times where regen graphs cross the damage threshold in a treeset and process them before/after each query as needed, and simply ignore everything with maxhealth <= damage, as they will always be killable, so as a result if everyone's max health is less than damage you can kill them anytime (infinite bounty).

An hour of spaghetti later, I submit and get WA

"Oh, obviously! I forgot the case if regen of an enemy is equal to zero!"

WA again same test case

"Oh, of course! I forgot the case if increase = 0, then bounty can never be infinity"

WA again same test case

"Oh, right. He can only do integer values, so if it's not evenly divisible I have to consider integer value right before crossing the threshold and right after..."

WA again same test case

There are too many special cases and other things to consider in this problem in my opinion. Maybe Dota2 players who code are super familiar with the algorithm because they do it in their head every time they play, but for the rest of Div2 Codeforces it is not quite as easy. That's the only way I can think of this problem being selected as a C problem.

Anyway reply with elegant approaches/solutions if you'd like, they will be much appreciated.

    Important realisations: 1) If bounty increase is >1 and the max_health of any enemy is <= damage, the answer is -1 2) If bounty increase is >1 and health increase of any enemy is 0 and the last updated health of an enemy is <= damage, the answer -1

    After taking care of those special cases it is just easy time_line problem where you mark all the +1/-1 points (new enemy I can kill/since this point I can not kill some enemy).

    I used multiset at first, map later ended up with sorting a vector of time-line points, however always got TLE on the 8th test-case.

    Overall nice problems, but really pissed by the distribution of correct solutions of the tasks (compare C to D or B).

    C is annoying to code even if the solution seems elegant while thinking. Maintain 2 sets (RIP and non-RIP, RIP for heroes whose current health <= damage). Maintain an event priority queue. There are three kind of events: -1 (compute bounty), 0 (transfer a given hero from RIP to non-RIP set, to account for regen), 1 (Set current health of a given hero). Process the events in priority (-time, type). There are still annoying edge cases to handle (For example, future events of type 0 can be invalidated by events of type 1).

    I'm sorry to break it to you. But this is nothing like Dota2. The mechanism are totally different. The idea is only about Dota 2 nothing more. Examples:

    1) No hero has 0 regeneration

    2) Bounty is not this way

    3) You don't care how much gold you get and the bonus will never become infinity So, knowing Dota2 will completely change nothing.

      2) That's true, I must admit :)
      3) You actually do care about the amount of gold you get when you play Dota 2

      Though you are right that Dota 2 experience would not really help with solving this problem :)

        Well, what's important is general agreement.

        The statement implies that there can be a hero with 0 regeneration throughout the whole match, and that's impossible.

        You can't deny the fact that when you can kill, you'll kill. It doesn't matter how many you kill (AND YOU DON'T WAIT TO +INF TO USE YOUR ULTI)

        What's important is playing Dota 2 won't help you solve the problem, practicing will!

        is the answer 2^( ceil(lg(n)) )-1 ?

Problem D: Use linearity of expectation.

For a cell (i, j), number of squares can be calculated like this: https://ideone.com/KbWoW7 (For upper left corner You find a valid range for lines, a valid range of columns and then you multiply the ranges lengths)

Now we have 2 vectors L(i) = the length of range for line i, C(j) = the length of range for column j. So number of squares that contain cell (i, j) = L(i) * C(j);

Sort vectors L and C in descending order. So L(0) >= L(1) >= ... >= L(num_of_lines) , C(0) >= C(1) >= .... >= C(num_of_columns)

Now at each step we need to choose a line i and a column j which gives the best L(i) * C(j).

Mantain a vector Last(i) = For the line i, what is the best column avaible? At the beginning Last(i) = 0;

We'll keep a multiset where we insert all lines, and we will keep the multiset sorted by L(i) * C(Last(i)) descending order.

Now, we do this k times: Extract beginning of set = A line i, add that L(i) * C(Last(i)) Value. Update Last(i) = Last(i) + 1 Add i to multiset again.

Problem C. Test case 4 is wrong 2 0 1 0 1 10 1 1 2 1 0

The second enemy has start health = 1, regen = 0. So I can wait forever to kill him (I have damage = 1), so I can have infinitely gold. The answer is -1. But Jury's answer is 2.

Shouldn't they be disqualified because of cheating?

    Wait Wait! there's no cheating there, they have a huge difference in problem B, one declared int and the other declared long ;o ._. haha. now on a more serious note :/ come on guys this is to improve over time not just for the ratings.

Why this formula (pow(2,floor(log2(n))+1)-1) failed for #test 48 (n=288230376151711743, k=2) in problem B

    There are issues with built in logarithmic functions. For example, in python, the log of that number is 58.0000001 while the actual log is 57.9999...

      But same code got accepted when I changed long long to long double for n and k. Why is this so?

        log2 and friends (log2f and log2l), as in the C standard library, accept only double, float and long double parameters. So what happens when you pass a long long to it? C++11 (and future versions) explicitly say integral types get converted to double (not long double!) before calling functions from <cmath>. Since the values in this testcase are not representable as a double, you get precision issues.

        Below's what the standard says in §29.9.1. Rule 2 applies in your case.

        "For each set of overloaded functions within <cmath>, with the exception of abs, there shall be additional overloads sufficient to ensure:

        1. If any argument of arithmetic type corresponding to a double parameter has type long double, then all arguments of arithmetic type (6.9.1) corresponding to double parameters are effectively cast to long double.

        2. Otherwise, if any argument of arithmetic type corresponding to a double parameter has type double or an integer type, then all arguments of arithmetic type corresponding to double parameters are effectively cast to double.

        3. Otherwise, all arguments of arithmetic type corresponding to double parameters have type float."

          I use type conversion. Even after it will not work.

          a = ((double)log2(n))

            Casting the return value cannot provide you with more precision (since the value is already calculated). That would be CSI-level enhancing :)

            We want to ask the function to calculate using type long double. There are two ways to do that: log2l(n) or log2((long double)n).

    The same condition happens to me and this is the very worst thing. Else we also get contest rating as well. 48.....

    I also faced the same problem and got wa only for this issue. i tried to get log2 by doing log10(n)/log10(2) but got wa.. while debugging the only thing i got was a precision related issue which i'm experiencing for first time in a built in function.. calling log functions with an extra 'l' at last(taking long double as arg) worked fine..

why is rank of some users different from what their rating indicates? this probably happened during Goodbye 2017 coontest.

    1UL has type unsigned long. (unsigned) long on 64-bit architectures is a 32-bit type on the Windows ABI and a 64-bit type on Linux (LP64 ABI). Codeforces runs on Windows. You wanted 1ULL :(

Hi, Could anyone tell me why Jury's answer for case 11 of Problem C is 1 ? Since I see there is a horizontal line (value = 1), my answer is -1. [input] 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1
