Hello guys!

I am new to codeforces, I stumbled upon 230A problem and my code is here. My basic idea was to create a list of list containing three things first->strength of dragon, second->bonus points, third->flag if this dragon is killed or not. Then I sorted according to bonus points and started incrementing kills if a dragon could be killed based on condition.

Please help if there is a flaw in my logic or I missed something in the code. I shall be really thankful to you. Please help.

If I sort according to dragon's strength then won't it create a problem like: - 3 4 - 1 0 - 1 0 - 1 0 - 2 3 this is sorted according to dragon's strength then the answer would be 'no'? In other case we can kill dragon with strength 2 and get bonus of 3 and then kill all dragons? Answer would be 'yes' isn't it? Am I missing something?

•  » » 9 months ago, # ^ |   0 Because Kirito first needs to fight the dragon that has the least strength to gain his strength, and then fight other dragons.

 » 9 months ago, # |   0 We need to make a pair of vectors and then sort one of them. The other vector would be sorted accordingly. You can see my submission to the problem, it may help. Submission
 » 3 months ago, # | ← Rev. 2 →   0 I am failing test case #6: 2 2 3 5 1 2 "wrong answer 1st words differ — expected: 'YES', found: 'NO'"Why the expected answer is YES when Kirito's initial strength is smaller that every dragon?Thanks in advance!
•  » » 3 months ago, # ^ |   0 Kirito's initial strength is 2. This is larger that the second dragon's strength, which is 1. You might want to reread the input format.

•  » » » 2 months ago, # ^ |   0 This is my solution for this problem: https://ideone.com/4QwCwt I used map to solve it. I really don't see anything wrong in it and it should work but I constantly keep getting wrong answer on test case 10. Can someone help please?
•  » » » » 9 days ago, # ^ |   0 The thing about hashmap is that it needs unique key. So if test case has two dragons with same strength,hashmap will fail
•  » » » » » 9 days ago, # ^ |   0 Yep, got it a long time ago, but thanks anyways.
 » 7 days ago, # |   0 My 104218672 is falling in test case 9.I think it should be YES, but the judge says that it is NO, can someone explain to me why is this NO?
