    Can't agree with this. I solved Div2 C in less than 15 minutes, and couldn't solve Div2 D at all. IMHO, the second part of solution in editorial is more difficult than it could be, because after sorting the pair array, we can simply use two pointer method

I think proof of Div1 D looks incomplete. You should also consider a case when diameter and optimal path intersect, I think they are a bit different.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it still holds when $$$C = D$$$ (optimal path intersects diameter) and when $$$D = F$$$ (optimal path begins somewhere on diameter), so that should cover all the cases. The proof does not make assumptions on edges existing between nodes in the diagram, so setting paths have zero length should be fine.

      If C=D then everything is fine, but if diameter and considered path have some edges in common then it is a bit different

    I'm guessing most people figured out the proof for that case by themselves, but I'll share mine for the sake of completeness (sorry for necroposting lol)

    Firstly, define $$$p(U, V)$$$ to be $$$1$$$ if the parity of the number of stone roads on the path from $$$U$$$ to $$$V$$$ is odd, and $$$0$$$ otherwise. Also, define $$$|UV|$$$ as the length of the path from $$$U$$$ to $$$V$$$.

    Once again, suppose that $$$AB$$$ is a diameter of the tree, and $$$EF$$$ is a maximum-length path with an even number of stone roads.

    Let's first show that $$$p(A, F) \neq p(E, B)$$$. There's two cases, depending on $$$p(C, D)$$$.

    Case 1: $$$p(C, D) = 0$$$

    Since $$$p(A, B) = 1$$$, it must be true that $$$p(A, C) \neq p(D, B)$$$. Since $$$p(E, F) = 0$$$, it must be true that $$$p(E, C) = p(D, F)$$$. The condition holds.

    Case 2: $$$p(C, D) = 1$$$

    The same thing happens, but the equality and inequality flip places. $$$p(A, C) = p(D, B)$$$ and $$$p(E, C) \neq p(D, F)$$$. In this case, the condition holds as well.

    Without loss of generality, suppose that $$$p(A, F) = 0$$$. It must be true that $$$|EB| \leq |AB|$$$, since the latter is a diameter. Hence $$$|EC| \leq |AC|$$$ and thus $$$|EF| \leq |AF|$$$. Once again, we've constructed a valid path which is at least as good, and has an endpoint at either $$$A$$$ or $$$B$$$. This is a contradiction.

        In simple words lower_bound(all(v)) uses random access iterators and works well only for vectors, arrays etc. whereas s.lower_bound is a function built to handle binary search for sets, multiset etc where elements cannot be randomly accessed. there is a blog about this, try searching if interested further.

        In c++ set or multiset, it is better to use the in-built lower bound function as in the worst case, it has logarithmic complexity. The other one has a quadratic worst case time complexity.

        Because in DP solution answer of current state is dependent on previous state and we minimise the difference between minimal and maximal fret. But consider the 25th Test case.

        101 146 175 if we subtract 1 96 100 respectively from it we obtain our answer.

        But DP solution will choose :- 96 96 100 for subtraction, because difference between 5 and 50 is smaller as compared to 100 and 50.

    I have a DP + Greedy solution. Here's my submission.

    Explanation — First comes the greedy part. By observation, it can be seen that after sorting both the notes and $$$a_{i}$$$, it will always be optimal to first choose some elements from the first string, then some from the second, and so on. So, after choosing a particular string $$$k$$$ for some $$$i-th$$$ note, the $$$(i+1)-th$$$ note will be always from a string $$$j\ge k$$$. This can be implemented using DP.

    In my solution, $$$dp_{i,k,j}$$$ is the state where the $$$i-th$$$ note is being considered to be assigned string $$$j$$$ and the $$$(i-1)-th$$$ note has been assigned the string $$$k$$$. The second.first, second.second and first fields of the states represent the minimum value chosen till now, maximum value chosen till now and their difference respectively.

Div2C : Each note can be played on a specific range of frets. So out of all such ranges, find the minimum end point (at least one note cannot be played using a higher numbered fret) and the maximum start point (at least one note cannot be played using a lower numbered fret) and output max(0, max_start — min_end). Can anyone point what is wrong with this approach and provide a simple counter test?

Div2 D O(n) solution explanation: note that

  1. if we have several consecutive -x, they must be in an ascending order (otherwise we say NO and stop instantly)
  2. if we have + and a -x after it, we can collapse them (it's not hard to understand that if the answer is YES, we can act this way, just a simple mindfulness exercise)

Bingo! We've just solved this problem in O(n) using stack (going in the reversed order, putting goods on a stack and then taking them from the top of the stack and putting on the showcase). The only tricky moment left: you must pay attention to the amount of shurikens to avoid the lack of them (e.g. example 2 from the problem).

Can anyone tell me why my submission for Perform Easily failed pretest 9 : 96698325 ?

My logic :

The maximal and minimal frets are obviously useful frets i.e. they are used by some fret. So I first sorted the notes and then fixed the "minimal used fret" by using the frets required by the first note by the various strings (the logic being that the smallest note will use the smallest fret from all possible combinations). So out of the 6 frets usable by the first note, one of them should be the "minimal" fret of the optimum set. Then I just binary search for the right hand side by checking if all notes can be played for the specified minimal fret.

      At a high level, top trees are just link-cut trees but with a BBST of light-children at each vertex, which allows you to do subtree queries. If you don't understand link-cut trees, learn those first.

      The main paper for the popular splay-tree-based top trees is "Self-Adjusting Top Trees" by Tarjan and Werneck. This also contains references to alternate works by Frederickson and others which have alternative (but more complex) constructions, so you can read those for more background/theory.

      I submitted a top-tree solution to this problem 96759325, but it's rather complex and not a great way to learn. The quintessential top-tree problem is SONE1 at http://www.lydsy.com/JudgeOnline/problem.php?id=3153, but the site seems to be down right now.

    We can iterate an array in a reverse order. (Example 1)

    +
    +
    - 2
    +
    - 3
    +
    - 1
    - 4
    

    we can create an array like this [-1,-1,2,-1,3,-1,1,4] where -1 indicates that the element was inserted(+ sign). Now maintain a min-heap. Iterate backward on this array, we will keep on inserting the elements. We will first insert 4 and 1. Now whenever we land on -1, it means at this point, some shuriken must have been added on the showcase) which can only be either 4 or 1(Since they are sold at the last). So, we can safely remove the minimum element from the heap and add it to the answer. If the heap is found empty at -1 or if we find one of the element in the heap is less than the element to be insert then the array is inconsistent. Also, we can check if number of +'s is equal to n. If it is not equal then the answer is "NO". 96748102

        The element x which is currently being added indicates the element was sold at this moment and the elements in the heap stores the element already sold out. It also means that at this point, the elements which we have on the showcase are x and all the elements in the heap. By what question says, x has to be the minimum as the customers purchases the minimum element on showcase, but in this case, there is some element in our heap which is less than x and the customer have purchased x instead of that minimum element in the heap. So, it is inconsistent.

    This is a common mistake when there are multiple testcases. It may take 500*500*t if you create/initialize 500*500 arrays every time, and that's about $$$2.5 \times 10^{10}$$$.

About Problem 2E/1C: I didn't like this problem at all. It was boring and a detail-finding kind of problem where you know right after reading the problem that you can get to the solution if you are not lazy enough.

about the $$$-1$$$ part, we can just see that since $$$a>bc$$$, for each spell, whether complete or not, contributes positively to the damage. Hence the damage can be arbitrarily large. No need to think about overlapping parts, as is done in the editorial.

Linear time solution of div1B:

Consider the queries backwards. Then — x actually means adding shuriken with value x to the showcase, and + means deleting some shuriken. So we can maintain the sorted stack of all shurikens at the moment. On + we will delete the minimum from the stack (it's easy to see that it's always the best option), i.e. top element, and add it to the answer array. On — x we will check that x is less then the value on top of the stack and add it. If we successfully looked through all the queries we will just print the reversed answer array, and otherwise there's no answer. My code 96667703

    I had a similar idea , which unfortunately didn't work. can you please explain what's the flaw with with the following logic.

    Initialise cnt to zero . While processing the queries backwards , if we see + we increment the cnt variable by 1. When we see — x , we push x in the stack if x is less than top element otherwise we can pop atmost cnt number of elements from top of the stack such that now either the stack is empty or top of stack is greater than x.while popping from the stack we decrease the cnt by 1.

    The answer may not always be abs(b[n]-a[6]-b[1]+a[1]). An example:

    1 3 6 8 100 1000

    3

    1003 1250 1500

    According to your code, the answer must be 502, but the correct one is 398.

Was div.2-D a standard problem? Everybody is saying that the problem is very easy but I could not come up with a simple idea for the problem. I was thinking of a heavy implementation solution.

    The idea of problem D:- 1) pair every "+" with below "-" using upper bound. 2) check the order of elements with given order using stack

    for better understanding, check out my code

I think there's also a O(n) solution for Div2 D using list and it's easier to explain.

We consider matching the '-' operations with '+' operations from "- 1" to "- n".

After we matched a '+' operation and a '-' operation, we remove them from the operation sequence.

So, when considering the operation "- x":

If the previous operation is "-", it's impossible to meet the requirements because we have already removed all the numerically smaller "-" operations.

Otherwise the previous operation is "+" and we can easily match this "-" operation with it.

This can be maintained with a list by recording the position of each "-" operation in the operation sequence.

All problems(DIV2) are good and do not need a hard data structure. some observation and you can solve.

Div2 D can be solved going through the reversed query with a set. Every time we meet a "+" we can just say that the woman takes the one with the least price back. So if set's size is 0 the answer is NO. Else erase that element and add to the answer. Else if we meet a "- x" then x must be the less then the least element in the set now. If not, the answer is NO. If yes, insert x. 40 lines of code.

p.s. reverse the answer in the end

        Oh i see the problem. Im sorry thought it was (nm)^2, but after seeing ur code i saw it's nm, which is ok. The problem must be creating a huge array vis, since all other things have a good time complexity.

        p.s. I got ur sol accepted with changing vis size to n * m + 1

    n is even, and you want to make two adjacent elements make a sum of 0.
    if you have the array a1, a2 — make the sum a1*(-a2) + a2*(a1) = 0.
    If you do it to every adjacent pair, the total sum will be 0.

      Yeah, I understand that I need sum = 0, but I hadn't sorted out how to achieve this at the competition, so that's quite bad. That's pretty hard for me to find easiest ways to solve a problem.

Could someone please explain the solution of the div1E?I'm totally confused with the conclusion “the outcome of the game is defined by the index of the last move and the last difference between the elements”and“ if we fix the last index and gradually decrease the last difference, the grundy value will not decrease. ”

Could anyone please tell me some other solutions (except two pointers) of the problem Perform Easily? There are so many problem tags for this problem, so I guess there will be some interesting solutions (such as binary search).

    I thought of a different approach and used lower bounds and upper bounds but it is failing at test case 9 can you tell me whats wrong with my code? you can go through this I posted this earlier Can Someone tell me why I my code fails at test case 9 96809688 I have used the approach that after sorting the notes the there cannot be a fret smaller than difference between first note and first string then I took two case 1. I found all the frets for every note which is just smaller or equal to the smallest fret. 2. I found all the frets for every note which is just larger or equal to the smallest fret. then I found the Min of differences obtained from these two.

      Sorry, I don't understand your approach. However, there is a set of small data that your code can't get the right answer, maybe you can try to discover your mistakes through it.

      Input

      1 1 1 96 99 100

      3

      101 146 175

      Output

      50

      Your answer

      74

      Good luck!
