My solution problem D after contest(sad): 1)Find minimum first element with binary search 2) let's get maximum suffix, when we can add 1 for all numbers on segment, do it, while exist this is segment 3) end O(nLogn), and write easy

In problem "A" we don't need to store reachable numbers ,As soon as we hit a number less than 10 we add 9 to our counter and stop

Nice problems btw

RNR

1157D — N Problems During K Days can be solved simply by putting $$$1,2,\dots,k$$$ initially and then trying to put $$$(n-(k*(k+1)/2))/k$$$ elements in each, and then from reverse order adding as many elements in each position as possible, without considering special cases separately.

You can go through my submission for clear understanding.

Mayank612512

In problem number B, why we are not checking the digits which comes after the first digit which become less after replacing.

for example 
if a = 13373
and f[] = {1, 2, 5, 4, 6, 6, 3, 1, 9};
then the correct answer is 15573 but why not 15575;

geekotechy

The problem mentions a contiguous subsegment and the operation can be performed at most once.

Anyone help me in finding the cause of TLE in Problem D in my solution.

← Rev. 2 →

"erase" for vector works in linear time of size of the whole vector

And what about erase in multiset?

Is there any way that I can still use vector and solve the problem. I know that using multiset will make it very easy but still as a matter of knowing.

BTW, Thanks for the reply buddy !!

Aluss

You can’t use vector.erase for this problem. unless you want to code yourself a multiset libary for vectors, multiset is the only way to solve the problem in AC time, which erases elements from the container at log(n) time.

Thanx for the reply mate !!

make it a habit to write long codes, your is too short to get accepted

Does anyone have a solution for problem E which does not involve STL structures, specifically without using multiset,set,map or multimap ?

You can use segment trees.

In problem E, why "lower_bound(m.begin(), m.end(), val)" gives TLE 53488500 and "m.lower_bound(val)" got Accepted 53488794 ?

got it! https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/20553

Problem D: "Then if nn != k — 1 or k = 1 then this answer is correct."

Any explanation for this ?

howso

For problem 1157c1, what if the input is

7 7 4 5 6 3 2 1

The solution code out puts 5 RRRRL But if I discard 7 and take the subsequence [4 5 6 3 2 1],it's possible to get a strictly increasing subsequence of size 6, right?

What's wrong with my solution for problem B? https://codeforces.com/contest/1157/submission/53566680 I am getting wrong answer on test case 7

heyBossCanIGetAnACPlease

Try for
5
43111
9 2 3 5 1 1 1 1 1
Answer should be : 53999, get it?

GaryMr

I solved D in a different way. Mine

VLADO

I'm kind of late, but problem D can be easily (more or less) solved by binary searching the first element, and then binary searching every other element as well, from left to right, so that the minimum possible sum is <= n and the maximum possible sum is >= n. My submission

InshaAllah

Nice Problem Set.

For the D problem, I just initialized array to 1,2,...,K then added (S — (K * (K + 1)) / 2) / N to every element in the array, and then just distributed (S — (K * (K + 1)) / 2) % N from the behind appropriately. Just wondering why there were so less submissions for this problem?

codershuvo

How to solve problem Minimum Array using segment trees??

Rockett

I solved with segment tree, so I will try to explain my solution:

First we need to sort B array, to be able to find some index j for each $$$A_i$$$ such that $$$A_i + B_l \lt n$$$ for all $$$l \lt j$$$, and $$$A_i + B_r \ge n$$$ for all $$$r \ge j$$$. We'll have only one index j for each $$$A_i$$$, because $$$max(A) + max(B) < 2n$$$.

After that we can divide B array in two parts and find the best among these greedly, using segment tree here to get minimum, and then updating the used element to not be taken more than once.
