For problem F we can also use a segment tree where the nodes have the max value in the subtree. If the maximum value in any subtree is less than 10 then we shouldn't update that subtree and can skip it. Complexity wise it should be the same as the editorial solution. Implementation 192043154

I think it would be better to solve the F problem by using the union lookup set optimization https://codeforces.com/contest/1791/submission/214420789

jkulanko

Perfect div 4 round IMO. Every problem was solvable by div 4 people, with 1 problem that would push most div 4 people and another problem that would really push most div 4 people but still was solvable

Rajveer_100

I solved problem F with segment tree (lazy propagation), where I keep track of each update range [l, r] to know the number of times a certain index i [l <= i <= r] also ensuring when the number x <= 9 to break the loop (:)committed 2 WAs initially because of this).

Code

mykhail0

unfortunately i solved it using lazy propagation segtree too. I had a feeling it's not needed since it's a div 4 round, and the solution without it is nice. Segtrees sure are powerful though

A great problemset.

SeanInAction

Wow, the tutorial came out so fast. Searched for useful data structures online for problem F and found that using binary indexed tree works.

nice,thanks to you i found out lazy propagation is possible with BIT

tn757

Very cool that F can be solved with set and DSU. I got stuck on BIT implementation because I don't have a template for it and have only solved a few CSES problems using it. Forgot about the limitation of 3 change operations. Thought G2 would be DP, but the binary search solution is quite elegant. 10/10 problemset overall.

Solved E with DP. Also for the first time I have used segment tree lazy propagation in a live contest (problem F) :)

Can you show me your code for E? i spend an hour to find that a O(n) solution.And i just know if i use dp to solve E i will be TLE.

This is my first contest on this platform and it's really great.

For G2, Editorial solves in O(nlogn) after sort but I solve in O(n) + O(logn) after sort.

thats the same complexity sir

balakrishnan

My screencast with explanations. The problems were very interesting. Thanks for the contest.

XHYMathematics

It seems that the problem writers like binary indexed tree. Both F and G2 can be solved by binary indexed tree.

E404_Not_Found

There's a sqrt decomposition solution for F, for a range of size sqrt(n) save the number of updates on this rsnge‌ as cnt of that range, and then for the queries which they want you to print the value of an index, add cnt of that index + cnt of the range which it belongs to (let sum of these be $$$K$$$) and find the $$$K$$$'s digit sum for that index's number, here's the code :. 192059676

34z12000

Can someone explain this part in problem F to me on example: 1 l r — search for the smallest active index at least l (since the list is sorted, we can do it in O(logn)). Afterwards, update that index (replace ai with S(ai)), remove it if it's no longer active, and binary search for the next largest active index in the sorted list, until we pass r.

Hasan__Zia

Is it possible to solve the problem F using Segment tree algorithm concept?? Can anyone help me with this solution using Segment tree...

knightFighterr

Solved it using segment trees but got TLE in tc 4

hydra_cody

Precompute the sum of digits till there remains one digit. It helps me in fighting with TLE on 4.192204290. I use bit.

i did it but still got TLE

Zadymiarz1234

Sure, it can. You need simple tree with 'modification on interval' and 'single element access' operations. Check out this blog for implementation details https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/18051

HNOONa

For problem E, "if the count of negative numbers is odd, we must have one negative number at the end How can i prove this?

here u can shift negative sign to any elements like if i have -2 3 -1 4 -6 5 then it can be easily changed to 2 -3 -1 4 -6 5 then 2 3 1 4 -6 5 still u have one negative now shift that negative sign to 3 index (1 based)

I understand that negative signs can be shifted anywhere.

What im asking is how do we know that there is no sequence of operations such that no negative numbers remain (in the odd case)?

in one operations either u remove two negative sign or no negative signs see there are three cases when both are negative :- make both positive, 2 neg signs removed when both are postive : no needed , 0 neg signs removed when one is neg and one is positve : still no neg sign removed so every time numbers of neg sign removed is multiple of 2 hence it count is odd one sign always remains

what is the proof of greedy for G1. I thought of it like knapsack but constraints were big so i did greedy but I dont know why greedy is working. shouldn't it fail for the same reason where greedy doesnt work for knapsack ?

IanISam

Knapsack has a value and weight. If there is only a value your can use greedy.

Thought that each number could only have 3 states for F. This is so sad

Guys, pls, explain F

I used sweep line on F, I haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet. Store the queries and the index they appear and start the sweep line on the array from left to right. Add active elements(index of the query) when it reaches l in an order set and remove them after it reaches r+1. The first 3 values indicate the minimum index to achieve that state. Can be optimized to o(n)

anuj_negi

Used the same Alg and got HACKED. Possibly TLE.

You have to process all the queries beforehand

I actually realized what you did here (Checked your solution). At first, it was uneasy to comprehend because of Java, but you did a mixed sweep line with the ordered set.

That was a great one and to check them 0,1,2,3 for later is great.

But if consider a problem with 10 states, it will consume memory. [Though Imma PY coder XD]

Hack

Was able to hack my solution to about over half the memory and time available with Java. So it does consume a lot of memory but it is possible to reduce the amount of memory and time used by not storing the states the numbers can transition. So about n+4q memory.

Great one at hack and further possibilities. You got this. :))

Thanks :)

Try this testcase:

1
8

Expected output:7

Got my precious 2 solution Hacked due to Arrays.sort(JAVA) so much pain this days :-(

Yeah, that and unordered sets are really annoying hacks.

In problem G2, why is it wrong to take the first portal as portal having minimum overall cost? Can you give a failing test case?-

judgme_nt

If I understood your question, it's because that minimum could be taken with an even lower cost.

For example for $$$n=3$$$, $$$a = [17, 8, 2]$$$ and $$$c = 13$$$ we can get use second and third teleporter but not if I go to the third one first.

On problem D I stumbled upon a very weird thing:

When I test my code on my computer, all the test input returns correct answers. However, when I submit this code, I get an error on string "paiumoment". I have no idea how to debug this, because on my machine the answers are all correct. Does anybody know what is the issue?

My g++ version is 12.2.0. I stried both versions 17... and 14.6.4.0 when I submitted the code.

Here's the link to my code: https://codeforces.com/contest/1791/submission/192076794

P.S. I have a feeling that it does something to do with g++ versions, because on different versions the incorrect answers are different values. But how exactly does it work? I never came across such a problem before

bronze_coder

You never initialized cnt which causes undefined behavior because the values of cnt do not start at 0.

Oops, that's an awkward mistake... Thanks a lot!

I can't figure out what is wrong with my code for problem 1791D — Distinct Split. Can anyone help me out? #192086640

I solved the F with a segment tree over a difference array

wangkm123

I don't know where is wrong about my D code ?

I need help !!!

I know some people used a seg tree over a difference array, but did anyone else have the same idea but do it with a fenwick tree? https://codeforces.com/contest/1791/submission/192095662

cercatrova

In G1, what I understand, there is no port in point 0. So, according to the problem, I cannot teleport back to 0 from 0. But if I consider there is no port at point 0, I get WA. To get AC, I had to consider that there could be port at 0. Why? Also the explanation for testcase 1 is given considering the array is 0 indexed. But while explaining testcase 2, we are considering the array is 1 indexed. I am having confusion. Please help me!

pcajourney

Array is 1 indexed every where , maybe you're misreading the sample tests. And also ,there is no port at 0

krishna110

// cur += min(1, cnt[i]) + min(1, p[i]);

In the editorial why are we taking the minimum of frequency of a character in a and b ?

bunkerman

we want distinct letters i.e., the frequency should only be 0 or 1.

Problem E solution using DP in O(n). Refer here

Hazer_BJU

Problem F can also be solved by binary indexed tree, which is much easier to implement than segment tree if you didn't come up with the tutorial solution.

Great contest! I love it! Hope I can get specialist this time.

Can someone tell me why this code get TLE in F mySubmission

3.14159265359

You using SegmentTree, so when you update range [l, r], you update from [l, r]. If we have 1E5 query (1 1 n), your code has time complexity is O(n * 1E5 * log(n)) => TLE. This is my opinion about your code.

I think as i know, in the segment tree the one query takes log(n), and hence the queries over all test cases won't exceed 2e5 so the total complexity will be the number of queries multiplied by the time per query plus the construction of the tree (build function) so we can say: O(2e5 * log(2e5) + 2e5) = O(C * 1e6) where C is a constant so why TLE?

Segment Tree update 1 element in log(n), but you update the range from l to r, so it takes O(log(n) * (r — l + 1)) in 1 query, not log(n)

So you want to say that we can't solve it using segment tree, can we?

In my opinion, I think it can't.

yzkkai

I think you don't totally understand how segtree works.

Segtree is for optimizing "range" operation, and if you see your code again, you will find it only updates in the leaves, which means the segtree doesn't kick in.

Maybe you can change it to record every element's updation count to make segtree functional.

Sorry, my English is not good.

Shnatan

I have a doubt about my submission for F. My code is similar to the one provided in the editorial, the only difference being that I simply moved the iterator to the next element in the set after first setting the iterator to the lower bound of l. But it gives TLE on test case 18. To my knowledge, wouldn't it be better to just move the iterator to the next element in the set as it is already sorted rather than using a binary search to get the next valid index at every iteration? Here's my code -> https://codeforces.com/contest/1791/submission/192143264

Subject: Need Help for G2 In tutorial it is said we will need to do BS over all the values by taking it as our first problem. While solving I thought that if we took min out of all the starting costs it would be enough. In case of equality between 2 such values I took the one with greater cost from back. It is showing WA at test case 828 expected 2 output 1; what is wrong in my reasoning ?

Take a look at Ticket 16712 from CF Stress for a counter example.

Thanks a lot

Great Problem G2

satvik2323

In the problem G2, I am not getting how are they handling the case when the portal we are considering is included both times as the initial portal and in the minimum cost prefix. And in the tutorial's code what this piece of code is doing? int now = mid+1; if(mid > i) { price-=a[i].fr; now--; } can anyone help me out?

Cannabist_carlsen

I have a doubt in problem G1? Won't the answer depend on the index of the teleporter. For ex if the smallest teleporter placed at some index value which is too high and reaching there isn't possible i.e index of smallest teleporter > c coins given to us. But at the some time there exist a teleporter(not the smallest teleporter) whose { index + teleporting point <= c coins } . Is my question valid? Please help me out asap.

Please can someone explain to me what is the real goal on the problem G1. Teleporters (Easy Version). Even after reading the editorial for that problem. I still do not understand. Thank you.

BeanBurrito

The total cost of getting to a teleporter and using it (starting from point 0) is its location plus its cost (a_i + i).

Therefore, if you sort all the teleporters according to this value, you can ensure that you will always pick the teleporter that is the cheapest to get to and use, and maximize the number of teleporters that you use.
