Hello! Codeforces Round 605 (Div. 3) will start at Dec/12/2019 16:35 (Moscow time). You will be offered 6 or 7 problems (or 8) with expected difficulties to compose an interesting competition for participants with ratings up to 1600. However, all of you who wish to take part and have rating 1600 or higher, can register for the round unofficially.

The round will be hosted by rules of educational rounds (extended ACM-ICPC). Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks. I tried to make strong tests — just like you will be upset if many solutions fail after the contest is over.

You will be given 6 or 7 (or 8) problems and 2 hours to solve them.

Note that the penalty for the wrong submission in this round (and the following Div. 3 rounds) is 10 minutes.

Remember that only the trusted participants of the third division will be included in the official standings table. As it is written by link, this is a compulsory measure for combating unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participants of the third division, you must:

  • take part in at least two rated rounds (and solve at least one problem in each of them),
  • do not have a point of 1900 or higher in the rating.

Regardless of whether you are a trusted participant of the third division or not, if your rating is less than 1600, then the round will be rated for you.

Thanks to MikeMirzayanov for the platform, help with ideas for problems and for coordination of my work. Thanks to my good friends Daria nooinenoojno Stepanova, Mikhail awoo Piklyaev, Maksim Neon Mescheryakov and Ivan BledDest Androsov for help in round preparation and testing the round.

Good luck!

I also would like to say that participants who will submit wrong solutions on purpose and hack them afterwards (example) will not be shown in the hacking leaders table.

UPD: Great thanks to Artem Rox Plotkin and Dmitrii _overrated_ Umnov for testing the round and help with bugs fixing! Artem is also proposed one of the problems for today's round!

    Maintain 2 arrays, Increasing and Decreasing. Increasing[i] will store maximum increasing subarray till ith element, similarly Decreasing[i]. For each element check if (i+1)th element is greater than (i-1)th element, If true, then we can delete this element and updated ans=max(ans, Inc[i-1] + Dec[i+1]).

      I didn't use this dp approach. The following is the algorithm I came up with. First find all strictly increasing continuous subarray and store each such subarray's start and end index as an interval. Update the max length for each interval.

      Then iterate through all intervals and check every two adjacent intervals and do the following. 1. if the current interval only has 1 element, remove it, get the next interval if possible and check if the previous interval and this next interval can form a longer strictly increasing subarray. Update max length if necessary.

      1. else if the current interval has more than 1 element, 2a.if the previous interval has more than 1 element, remove the last element of the previous interval and check if the previous and current interval can give a better answer. 2b. else if the previous interval has only 1 element, remove the first element of the current interval and check if the previous and current interval can give a better answer.

      The above solution fails on test 14 by a difference of 1. Can you help explain why this solution is incorrect? My submission is 66729847. Thanks!

        Your idea is almost same as me.

        I stored all strictly increasing sub_sequence block.

        Then updated result by comparing all block size.

        After that i took 2 consecutive block each time. If 1st block has size > 1, then we compare the 2nd element from last of 1st block with 1st element of 2nd block. if a < b then we have a length of block1+block2-1. Similarly i checked by ignoring 1st element of 2nd block.

          Yeah, I think our idea are similar in general, except that I made the mistake of comparing value with index in one of the if statement, if only I could realize that during contest :(

          Thanks for replying though, without comparing your code I probably wouldn't even realize that bug in my code.

    do dp. dp1[i] = maximum length of increasing contigous subarray having the element of i from 0 to n. dp2[i] = maximum length of increasing contigous subarray having the element of i from n — 1 to i. Find out max length of subarray without removing element.Initially, this is the ans. And then, for every i from 1 to n — 2, check if(dp1[i — 1] + dp2[i + 1] > ans && v[i — 1] < v[i + 1]), if yes, then ans = dp1[i — 1] + dp2[i + 1]. That's it.

    Simple DP in $$$O(n^3)$$$. Notice that the answer's length cannot exceed $$$400$$$ and do dynamic programming. $$$dp_{i, j, bal} = $$$ minimum total length of the string with the first $$$i$$$ characters processed in the first string, $$$j$$$ first characters processed in the second string and the current balance is $$$bal$$$. Transitions can be made in a straight-forward way (nested loops) but you should do them carefully or by bfs/recursion.

    Actually, because problem limits were low, I just used dynamic programming.

    My state was (current unincluded character from S, current unincluded character from T, current bracket prefix). For some reason that I do not quite understand, the bracket prefix will not go above 200 and thus my state is 200^3=8000000 which is good.

    My transition is "add open bracket/add close bracket" depending on whether they are possible operations. I store which transition is better so that I can backtrack later to construct the bracket sequence.

    It passed the tests, so I think it's probably correct, but that was one of the ugliest case-check DP I have ever coded. Very unlikely to be official solution.

      Hello ; I constructed the graph in the same way ; but then I was doing DP on this graph...

      What I did was that let say node u has immediate child 'v'. Now if parity(arr[u]) != parity(arr[v]) ; then ans[u] = 1 ( This means that we may reach from u to v using only 1 step ).

      Else ; from all children of node u ( Which will be all v ) ; we may find the answer to node 'u' as ans[u] = min ( ans[u] , ans[v] + 1 ).

      But this gives me WA. Do you know what might go wrong in this approach ?

        There may be a cycle. So it might possible that you are not updated the current node and it calls again from its child.

          Could you please elaborate a bit..

          I understand that there are cylces. I understand the the child might have an edge that is directed back from child to parent ( Or in general from child to some ancestor ).

          Doubt : When we came to that child ; we will come only after visiting the parent ( ancestor ).

          So even if there is an edge from child back to the parent ; we won't go over there again as the parent is visited ; and we don't re-visit the nodes in dfs.

          Clearly I have not understood something ; can you please elaborate a bit more...

          Thanks !

            Let take a node having three children{p, n1, n2, n3}, and there is a cycle b/w p and n2. Now your value of p = min(n1, n2, n3}, but when you go to n2, p is already visited but its value is not updated as it depends on value returned by n2.

    After moving to position 10, you can make 1 more move to position 6 (10 — 4 = 6), position 6 has value 5 which is odd. So that is why the answer is 3.

      the answer for 10th position is 1. the answer for 8th position is 3 because : first you move to (8-4)=4th position which has value 6 which is also even (val(8)==4) so you have to move again to pos (4+6)=10 which has value 4 . then you move to pos 6 which has value 5 that is odd . 3 moves

    For each element, remove it and then maximize the ans. For this we try to maintain two arrays(st[n] and ed[n])

    st[i] will store the length of contiguous subarray starting from pos i.

    ed[i] --------------------------------------------- ending at pos i.

    Now if you remove the i-th element check the answer after merging left subarray and right subarray if possible to merge(left element < right element) and maximize the ans.

    My solution

    Better Implementation

    There are only two situations:

    1. move a letter to obtain the optimal answer.O(n)
    2. dont move a letter to obtain the optimal answer.O(n)

    So the easiest idea is just to implement this two process, and then take the longer length as the answer.

I still can't figure out why this code gives a negative result for problem A.

Somebody help me finding the bug which I can't find. Here's the code 66703687

      I just noticed something like that for my very first time. It works for values to 127. But after that from 128 it doesn't check the equality normally. For example,
      1
      127 127 127
      This test case goes fine. But

      1
      128 128 128
      This doesn't go fine.

        Don't compare objects using ==. Use equals().

        Java has a cache of numbers in range [-128, 127], that's why small tests work.

          Thanx. I noticed that too. I just didn't know "Java has a cache of numbers in range [-128, 127], that's why small tests work."

          Already updated the code 66762318 Now it worrks. I submitted this 4 times during contest and lost my precious 1 hour. My bad.

      I use Long[] instead of long[] when I need to sort the array so that it sorts in guaranteed O(nlogn) time complexity. For primitive array java sometimes give O(n^2) time complexity for almost already sorted array. That gave me TLE in a previous contest problem.

        Why are you so worried about time complexity when your array has length only 3.

    You can not compare two object Long using != always.

Is there some error in rating change? The rating predictor predicted a +102 while I got only +74. How such a huge difference?

    No. You might have checked predictor before system testing.

        You are absolutely right. In my case, it predicted correctly. I believe there might be some issue with the predictor.

      I pinned it at the top because I thought that it would be more visible. If it's weird I'll post it as usual at the bottom. Sorry.

        Yeah I think that'll be better of you post it at the bottom. Just that I have been used to looking at it at the bottom, and I believe other people too. That's why I found it weird.
