Round #633 div2 C (yesterday round):

While Practicing ,I got AC in it ,but i am still not convinced that my solution is correct.

I looked for editorial they said to approach d/f approach as 1 +2 +4 +.... to reach a number . But ,i just simply found the minimum power of 2 which is greater than or equal to our maximum difference. And output that power.

Also to note that in question it was said 2^(x-1) is added to x cost only , but i didn't consider that , i added x for 2^x but still passed TC.

Please Someone tell me ,why i am correct Or give some test case where my solution fails.

Can anyone please ,provide links or material (video lectures) ,from where you prepare for your non — cp topics :

1. Computer Architecture and Organisation (mips 8085, pipelining,etc.)

2. Operating System

I searched few videos on youtube ,but many of them were confusing (too long) and missing some topics.

Can anyone please tell me why my solution is not working for larger subtask,(while smaller is correct)

I made a dp to (i,j), where i denote number of stack inclused , while j represent number of plates need to choose.

Why are we not able to access analysis and submissions of other users in google kickstart contests before 2018.

Is there any platform ,where i can find their editorials or any discussion pages for them. I looked for cf discussion pages for it ,but it contains nothing.

How to count number of squares posible in a m*n grid.

I know formula to count squares which are parallel to given grid. i.e. m*(m+1)*(2m+1)/6 + (n-m)*m*(m+1)/2;

but how to do it for squares which are not parallel to given grid. How to count them??

please help me in following problem , i tried to read its analysis ,but was unable to understand its optimised solution . I looked for various people solution ,they had used bfs, but i am unable to interpret that too.

Just give me the way ,through which i should approach this problem .

Recently ,in educational round 83. In question D , i deduced a formula

for(i=n-1;i<=m;i++) { ans=ans+((nCr(i-1,n-2,mod))%mod; } And after that ans=(ans*pow(2,n-3,mod)*(n-2))%mod;

After looking for correct solution i found correct ans was nCr(m,n-1)*(n-2)*pow(2,n-3).

But later observe that for smaller test case my formula was working ,but giving Tle ,at larger tc.

So it that means expression nCr(m,n-1,mod) is equal to summation of nCr(i-1,n-2,mod) ; i range[n-1,m] .

If it is so ,can anyone help me to prove it..

here is my solution link 72867206
