Here, we share our doubts,problems.

Recently, Our group members had a chat and we made up a nice idea that would help every newbie to push up his preparation for ACM-ICPC.

We made list of all important topics for ACM-ICPC,and this is how it works:-

  • Either 1 or 2 members of the group make contest on a particular topic(problems may be from different websites) which is divided into 2 days.
  • First day problem set would be with easy,medium problems..
  • Second day,it would be tough.
  • Later after the contest,we discuss them in the group.

Fine,

This is how it is going to work.So,we would like to invite you for our first contest on the concept of binary search

Here is the link(day 1):- — https://www.hackerrank.com/codeforces-training-series-1-day-1-binary-search-tree

Here is the link(day-2): https://www.hackerrank.com/codeforces-training-series-1-day-2-binary-search-tree

Thanks, Happy coding.

Regards, codeforces training series.

Recently,I solved a problem.

This is one of my step in my solution:

ans=ans-(2*b*c[n]);

ans is double variable,b is integer,c[n] is double; my answer was judged wrong.

when i changed the step to

double p=2*b*c[i];
ans=ans-p;

My solution got ACCEPTED.Could anyone say,why this occur,so that it would be very helpful for future problems of this kind.

Thanks.

hello, Recently i was solving this problem below: http://codeforces.com/contest/540/problem/E

I made a survey in my college.Many couldn't do it.I have shown them EDITORIAL too.But many couldn't understand how to solve that finally.Many were confused in a lot ways.

So,Today i request GUYS who solved this problem,to spare some time on this QUERY which would be useful for many students who are breaking their heads on this problem's logic.

Please spare time and post nice explaination with example,so that it would be more clear.

AND i REQUEST not to give DOWNVOTE this post,Because this post is REALLY USEFUL for many CODERS....Many get stuck in this kind of problems,,and due to (some not better explaination)..they skip that problem having good concept...

SO,GUYS PLEASE POST NICE EXPLAINATION FOR THIS PROBLEM,,,

NOTE:IT IS NOT NEEDED THAT YOU UPVOTE THIS POST(BUT DONT DOWN VOTE).......WE NEED TO LEARN CONCEPT...

THANKS IN ADVANCE....HOPE I WOULD SEE MANY REPLIES HELPING MANY CODERS WHO FEEL THIS CONCEPT HARD....

the following is the solution i am trying to understand: http://ideone.com/cKjRNr

In the last loop of solution there are two terms,1 is to find difference of initial and final position of that element.

what about second term.according to editorial ,second term is to delete the inversions that were already counted.

so,could any one help how did we get "num[i]-i" as our second term,,whats the proof behind it..

Sir/mam,

Today i wanna ask a question that many coders on CF might be thinking of.

   i am still a div-2 contestant.i solved not more than 2 problems for my last 7 contests.

   on averge i solve 2 problems in any contest.

   BUT HOW TO SOLVE 3 AND 4?

   I saw many coders who solve 3 and 4 always in every contest.even i wanna solve like them.

   so,today i ask this question to coders who solve more than 2 on an verage in every contest,

   that what extra-thing you did,or what was the way that made yourself to solve 3 easily everytime,

   and how should we appraoch to solve like you?

   I HOPE MNY CODERS  LIKE ME MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO SEE COMMENTS THAT HELPS A LOT.

   PLEASE REPLY.

   THANKS IN ADVANCE.

   please share some links,books etc,that you think that may be useful to crack 3.
