I tell you and other video editorial makers one thing honestly , if you really want to help people help in problem D , E (and F some times) . Just see the number of submissions in problem A,B,C . Almost everyone did them and those who did not would have got by now.

aop

-21

Yes, most of the participants in cp community belong to average level and hence need help in difficult problems (need explanation of problems above C in cf) in order to increase thier level.

-27

Thanks , it's not difficult for any person of any level to upsolve A,B,C .Real difficulty starts from D.

I_love_chickpea

+53

To upsolve definitely not, given the fact, that tutorial essentially give you exact way how to code them. But to understand WHY those solutions are correct might not be that easy and this is much more important if you want to improve your cp skills.

Moreover no matter on your skill level it does happen, that you come up with a more complicated solution/same solution but more complicated way to understand why it works/have something like "my intuition tells me something like this should work but I have no idea how to prove it" even for a relatively simple problem, and then it might be worth it to see the simpler solution

cf3000

There are many begainers !

DaniKoynov

Some people think that the difficult part starts from E or F, it's different for everybody. Yes, A, B, C tend to be easy for most people but there are others who celebrate, if they solve C and we as a community got to help each other not make fun of.

Hi @Boron Why are you pulling him down? Maybe you can help the community by making video editorials of D,E,F

He is putting in efforts to give back to the community,atleast appreciate what he is doing, it may not be helpful to you, but to someone out there it may be immensely helpful.

Btw no doubt your feedback does also make business sense, because if we look at it like a CP Question (:P), the number of views that he gets on a video editorial of Question X would be = Number of people who solved Ques(X-1) — Number of people who solve Ques(X)

So for this contest, the audience for Editorial of C is 2000 whereas the audience for an editorial of D is 6000 :D

sir if we take all numbers who are not at the right position and then take out their gcd finally check weather that gcd is equal to the minimum number so is it correct ??

[8,4,6] Their gcd is 2.

epsilon_573

Their gcd should be divisible by the minimum number.

https://codeforces.com/contest/1401/submission/90619678 why is it wrong ??

DenOMINATOR

← Rev. 2 →

try this array

2 3 8 4

ans should be YES

in A) why are we searching for an m such that 2*m<=n only why not 2*m>n. The equality would give the answer: m=(n+k)/2 why is it not possible?? Though i understand the condition of checking parity will still hold, why was 2*m>n part not mentioned. Is it obvious??? or am i missing something? :D

arsalan9911

It possible & you can do question in this way also. But after calculating m you will need to calculate |OB — AB| & check whether its equal to k or not. Refer this you will get an idea.

yup i got it thnx :D

harsh_joeyit

Take a test case 2 3 8 4 min element = 2 element not at correct position = {8, 4}

your answer = gcd(4, 8) = 4

the problem here is we have to check if gcd({2, 4, 8}) = 2 which is true here.

So either take check if gcd(your answer, min element) = min element

initialize gcd with min element and then calculate gcd({min element, .......)

hitchhiker101

where did they mentioned that we have to take gcd{[2,4,8]}?

isocyanide7

2 4 8. The answer should be yes because even though 2 is at the correct place, we can still use it to swap the other values. your solution would be correct if you just check whether the gcd of the calculated gcd and the minimum is equal to minimum or not.

pksingh290

what u can do here is find gcd of the minimum element and the elements not in their correct position (can easily be done by comparing with sorted array) one by one if any of these elements donot have minimum element as their gcd ans is no else yes.

can someone tell the error in this solution....i think it has same idea as in editorial :(

FHVirus

Ummm.... I think you didn't have the code for handling the m < n-1 part.

for m<n-1 case i'm just assigning 1 to rest of the lowest visited edges ... is it correct?

Oh oooops sorry I meant the m > n-1 part ;)

till then priority queue will become empty right?? and before it i will greedily assign values?

According to the problem, "the product of all n-1 numbers should be equal to k;", which means you have to use up all numbers in p[]. But in your program it seems to leave them unused though.

Acceptor

There you go,

1
2 2 0
0 3 1

Answer is 0 but your program gives -2, Also you are making arrays of x1+y1+z1 length which can through Memory Exeption or TLE.

Basically you have to maximize using z1 & y2. Also try eliminating z2 with x1, y1 with x2. At last y1 & z2. Solution

Fast editorial !!!! Great problems specially D problem . Thanks codeforces community

mikigrubic

In problem E:

"∙ When a segment intersects with two sides (facing each other) of the square, the number of pieces increases by one."

Doesn't the number of pieces in this case increase by two?

max.vays

Think about the simplest case: you only add one segment going across the square. Initially there is one piece (the whole square) and after adding the segment, there are two pieces, above and below the segment. So, the number of pieces increased by one.

+11

Right, in my head the inital number of pieces was zero lol. Thanks!

But, suppose you then added another segment vertically touching both the opposite sides and intersecting the previous drawn line. Now,the number of peices is 4 (increased by 2). How?

Because you also have a new piece from the intersection of the two segments.

This statement is not counting new pieces from internal intersections.

QuitAfterPurple

Can anyone help me?

My code for Problem D here(https://codeforces.com/contest/1401/submission/90610162)

Like editorial's method, I was trying to get answer. but i don't know why it does not work.

Svlad_Cjelli

You take the weights modulo 10^9+7 before sorting them, so the order can come out wrong.

I made the same mistake during the contest but gave up trying to figure it out. No motivation when the contest is unrated :D

what............?!!!!!?

i have never thought about that LoL...

Thank you very much, and i will never modulo before sorting :(

Bob_Alice

thanks man i spent 1 hour during the contest to find the same bug in my code and also after contest i couldn't find that.

AbhishekAg

Can you please tell what's wrong in this code for problem d Maximum distributed index.

The_Devil

I think the mistake is in this part of the code:

       for(int i=1;i<n;i++){
            pq.push({sub[i]*(n-sub[i]),i});
        }

Actually here for each edge between node i and j, the number of times that edge is traversed is sub[i]*(n-sub[i]), where i must be the child in the DFS tree representation of the tree, but in your case you are taking every i. For reference, see my submission: https://codeforces.com/contest/1401/submission/90657259

I found the bug.....I was adding the contribution of extra primes instead of multiplying....

As for what you are saying that piece of code is completely fine....as every node will be a child to some node except for the root(note I start with i=1 and don't count the root). Thanks anyway though!

Okay:)

only_for_practice

I am not even sorting it before multiplication still getting wrong answer on test 5 can you please check this

About E: in the editorial, is it segment tree or interval tree?

It's the efficient segment tree implementation https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/18051

I meant: is it a segment tree (to do operations with numbers), or it is an interval tree (to do operations with intervals)

It is definitely a segment tree (if by "interval tree" you mean the Wikipedia definition). I don't think I've ever seen an interval tree used in a contest problem. But it's confusing because some people refer to segment trees as interval trees.

Thank you. My solution was to construct interval tree (from horizontal segments), then for each vertical segment find the count of horizontal segments which contain its x coordinate. But I haven't done that.

If it is a segment tree I will try harder to understand this solution:)

Something like that should work as well!

in PROBLEM D those who are getting wrong answer please check for the case when no of prime factors is greater than no of edges .

Can someone share his/her approach for solving problem E. The editorial is too breif for me.

dakuhosu

Here's what I did:

First put all the horizontal lines down in the square. For every line that spans $$$x = 0$$$ to $$$x = 10^6$$$, the number of regions increases by 1 (originally 1).

Then, we can start putting vertical lines from left to right. We run a line sweep from left to right and maintain a data structure of "active" y-coordinates during every vertical line. I included $$$y = 0$$$ and $$$y = 10^6$$$ as always active lines. You can then notice that for every vertical line $$$V$$$ added, if the number of horizontal lines intersecting $$$V$$$ is $$$z$$$, then the number of regions increases by $$$z - 1$$$. For this part using a Fenwick tree would be a simple data structure that works.

Can you please provide the link to your code. It would be very helpful to understand .

Your idea and implementation both are awesome. Just 1 small thing, I was checking your code and saw that there is sorting of lines done which is not required, I guess.

Yeah the sorting is not required, I just never removed them from my code :)

NussairHroub

This is written in your code"//.size() return unsigned int so never use i<v.size()-1 in loop"

What is the risk of doing that ?

I never thought someone will ask about the commented part.

In some question, you have to loop till the third last character of string. So you will write i<s.size()-2 But when string size is 1, then s.size()-1 will give wrong result as .size() always give in unsigned int.

Ok, I got it. I tried it in c++. It was unexpected value, but for java it is fine.

Thanks for your time.

During the contest I submitted solution for F and it passed pretests.

ImranIF

My poor puny brain still didn't understand problem A. Could anyone kindly explain a bit more as to why ans would be 0 or 1 in case of k<n ?

When k is less than n, consider B is x distance left of A, then k = n — 2*x. So x = (k — n)/2. If if the difference is odd, you need to move 1 unit, otherwise, with 0 steps you can do it. Visualize it with an example and you might understand better.

Adrash08

if k<n, we can either generate all odd values of k(less than equal to n) if n is odd or we can generate all even values of k(less than equal to n) if n is even

if n=8: {(b=8, k=8) (b=7, k=6) (b=6, k=4) (b=5, k=2) (b=4, k=0)}

if n=9: {(b=9, k=9) (b=8, k=7) (b=7, k=5) (b=6, k=3) (b=5, k=1)}

Hence if n is even and the desired k is even then ans=0,else increment n and ans=1

else if n is odd and the desired k odd then ans=0, else increment n ans ans=1

Oh, I understand now. Thanks!

sankeerthnalam

Can anyone explain in Problem D, why should we do the "product of the number of vertices belonging to each of the two components divided when the ith edge is removed from the tree"? I understood that the edge removed will be visited that many times, but am not getting the intuition or reasoning behind that.

sasidhar_reddy

all vertices to the left of edge x, right of edge y for each vertex in left side that edge is used when visiting y vertices on the right. so in total that edge is used x*y times

If you understand what is required in D, the implementation is not trivial, but still easy. So the tutorial should explain what is needed. Instead, the wording is even more bulky than the problem statement.

In problem B: Ternary sequence, along with the pairs 1,0 0,2 2,1 , I am also maximising the pair 2,2 to decrease the pairing of 1,2. But I am getting wrong answer. Please explain.

if you maximize 2,2 pair you might consume some 2 from (2,1) pair which has potential of adding +2 where as in 2,2 pair it will add 0 .

praveenindia

if we firstly make as much (2,1) as possible and then we use (2,2) then?

you should increase 2 1 pair as this will add 2 to the answer , 2 2 pair will add 0, i hope you get the points.

For problem A,if the parity of n and k is same the answer is 0, otherwise the answer is 1 why it will always work?

Prashant_Singh

Suppose n=7 and I fix B at 6 and O is at 0 ,then k will be k=6-1=5 ; now fix B at 5 we get k=5-2=3 now suppose n=8 and fix B at 7 we get k=7-1=6 ; now fix B at 6 we get k=6-2=4 If you observe for n=7 we get k=5,3,1 ie. all odd numbers which can be easily found using 0 operation similarly forn=8(even) we got 6,4,2,0 (all even) for zero operations . So same parity of n and same parity of k for zero operation else 1 operation

HossamSayed

Can some one elaborate on the proof for the second case in problem D ? Why is it guaranteed that the n-1 primes that are obtained from [p ₀ , p₁ ,p₂ ,p ₃, ... , p _n-1 * p _n *....*p _m-1] are the maximum group of primes that can be obtained? I can see why if there is no MOD taken, but shouldn't the mod make things different?

Failure

You're not trying to find the answer with the highest mod value, you're trying to find the exact answer first, and then mod it because it's too big

Do you mean that because of the wording of the problem, this is the required answer but not necessarily the maximum answer that can be achieved ?

The problem exists independent of the mod. You only take mod for the answer becuase handling such big numbers is hard(probably impossible).

Riyuzak251097

Any idea why does this code not work for D? Code

phibrain

I think there is another interesting way to solve the problem F using a lazy segment tree. The idea is to maintain the "lazy array" as a "segment tree" and then, the querie 2 and 3 are equivalent to updates in a range in the "segment tree" and the others queries are normal ones in the lazy segment tree. You have to keep in mind that you obtain the values of the "lazy array" with the "segment tree" in every moment. This way you can even do queries of type 2 or 3 in a certain range of blocks. What I mean is that not only works for the whole blocks of subarrays (update in the whole block of subarrays), but for certain range of blocks of subarrays. The complexity is O(n^2*q). Anyway, nice problemset bro!.

My solution for E:

By Euler's polyhedron formula, we have $$$V-E+F=2$$$ in a planar graph. We want to compute the number of faces of our planar graph, excluding the outside of the square, which is $$$F-1 = E-V+1$$$. For each segment (including the edges of the square), let's suppose that it has $$$v$$$ vertices lying on it. Then it contributes $$$v-1$$$ edges. Summing over all segments, $$$E = \sum v-1 = 2V-n-m-4$$$, since each vertex lies on exactly two segments and there are $$$n+m+4$$$ segments. Thus, $$$F-1 = V-n-m-3$$$. Computing $$$V$$$ is easy using sweepline.

+37

*In planar connected graph, which is why we need the assumption that all segments touch one side of the square. Without it the formula becomes: $$$V - E + F = 1 + C$$$

I knew this from last round 1392I - Kevin and Grid. But I don't know sweepline QAQ.now I get it.

Humble Request. I am facing issue with understanding D problems how have we calculated no. of nodes in the separated component(d) of which we are calculating d*(N-d). Actually I did it using Dfs N-1 time on each node. I knew that it will give TLE. Whereas here it is done in one Dfs only. Can someone explain to me whether this is a general algorithm or anything like that or where can I learn it from more intuitively?

aniervs

Root arbitrarily the tree. Now let's compute $$$sz[u]:$$$ the amount of nodes on u's subtree.

$$$sz[u] = 1 + \sum_{v\in G[u]} sz[v]$$$

Now, for an edge $u, v$ (with $$$v \in G[u]$$$), the amount you want is $$$sz[v]\cdot(n-sz[v])$$$.

Thanks i got it !!

oblivious_z

Hey why is sz[v].(n-sz[v]) coming? Like i didnt got the reason why it came.

Thanks in advance

_sv_

edge parent->cur(or p->v) will be used sz[v]*(n-sz[v]) times in given function.

Which is no nodes connected to edge p->v.(sz[v]=no nodes connected to v and n-sz[v]=nodes connected to node p

Let's see, $$$G[*]$$$ donotes adjacency list of in the rooted tree. The directed edge $$$u \rightarrow v$$$ (with $$$v \in G[u]$$$), is counted on any path between each node in $$$v$$$'s subtree and each node not in $$$v$$$'s subtree. This amount is $$$sz[v]\cdot (n-sz[v])$$$.

longcontest

I got the thinking process of D but I am not able to prove it for $$$m \gt n-1$$$, someone please help in making the proof more simple. Thanks !

In particular I am not able to see why all the big primes will go to first weight and other all weights get only single primes...

Everule

Let us consider $$$n$$$ weights and $$$m$$$ primes.

I'm using 1-indexed arrays.

We must take into account 2 facts.

Let $$$W_i$$$ be the $$$i$$$th smallest weight, i.e. sorted in ascending order. Let $$$c_i$$$ be the coefficient of $$$W_i$$$. Let us prove $$$c_i<=c_j$$$ if $$$i<j$$$. We can swap any two coefficients and retain the total product. Let us assume $$$c_i>c_j$$$ and $$$i<j$$$. Then we can show $$$c_iW_i + c_jW_j <= c_jW_i + c_iW_j$$$. So it is optimal for $$$c_i$$$ to be non-decreasing.

We can show that $$$c_iW_i + c_nW_n <= c_iW_i/k + kc_nW_n$$$ for some $$$k>1$$$. So optimal structure has all primes in $$$c_n$$$, as each prime shift is essentially just substituting $$$k$$$ as $$$p$$$.

But since we need to minimize the number of ones, we need to give some primes to the previous values. So it also obvious that if there is more than 1 prime on some $$$c_i$$$ for $$$i<n$$$, it is optimal to shift it to $$$c_n$$$.

Let us say that we gave a prime $$$p_j$$$ such that there exists $$$p_k$$$ such that $$$p_j>p_k$$$ and $$$p_k$$$ is in $$$c_n$$$. It is optimal to swap $$$p_j$$$ and $$$p_k$$$ as shown in the previous equation, $$$k$$$ for this swap is $$$p_j/p_k$$$ which is greater than $$$1$$$. Therefore the mentioned structure is optimal.

makes sense thanks!!!

aditya_sheth

Can someone help me with a more formal proof for E?

shouryap

Hi Aditya,

Here is a semi-formal proof. I mixed in graph and non-graph words, and realised midway that we do not really need the terminology for the problem.

For each of the intersection points of the line segments, and each of the "dangling" endpoints of a line segment, we put a vertex there. The edges between these vertices are naturally formed. This gives us a planar graph which is also connected, as each line segment has one endpoint on the outer square. This gives, by Euler's formula,

V-E+F = 2. This 2 includes the outer, infinite face, so F_finite = 1+E-V.

Now, consider a "dangling" vertex (that is, a leaf vertex). We can delete this vertex along with the edge joined to it. This does not change the answer, as removing it decreases E and V both by 1.

Now, consider two "internal" line segments (that is, one of the line segments other than the segments of the outer square) that intersect. This intersection increases E by 2, but increases V only by 1.

Also, consider a line that completely crosses the outer square. Such a line segment increases E by 3 and increases V by 2.

Therefore, our answer is

1 + (number of intersections amidst the internal lines) + (number of internal lines that completely cut through the outer square).

Here's a more straightforward approach for F:

Let's build a standard range sum Segment Tree. Aditionally, we will store which powers of 2 have been swapped (in a simple boolean array).

Note that a reverse operation of power $$$k$$$ is simply swapping of all powers $$$i$$$ such that $$$i < k$$$. We have now reduced the problem to just range-sum with updates and swaps.

Whenever you swap a certain size, just flip its value in the boolean array we created. Now, because a segment tree is based on dividing the array into segments of powers of two, it's pretty easy to perform the swaps. Let's say you have assigned children of node $$$p$$$ to be $$$2*p+1$$$ (left child) and $$$2*p+2$$$ (right child).

While traversing the segment tree for anything (updates or sums), you just need to flip the children if needed. That is, if the power of two that this node is responsible for is swapped, your left child will now be $$$2*p+2$$$ and right child will be the node $$$2*p+1$$$.

This is pretty straightforward, and only adds a couple of lines to your standard segment tree implementation. Handles swap queries in constant time, and the other two in $$$O(n)$$$.

dcordb

Nice approach!

About: "Note that a reverse operation of power $$$k$$$ is simply swapping of all powers $$$i$$$ such that $$$i<k$$$". How did you notice this?

Mmm I see, like it says in editorial reverse is doing xor with $$$2^k - 1$$$ and swap is doing xor with $$$2^k$$$. So $$$2^k - 1 = 2^0 \oplus 2^1 \oplus \ldots \oplus 2^{k-1}$$$.

Maybe one of those things that just click :)

I didn't think of the XOR approach explicitly as mentioned in the editorial (although it is pretty intuitive if you think about it). The equation you mentioned also makes sense.

I initially tried to simplify the problem by only considering queries of one kind. Swapping seemed pretty easy to do with a segment tree, and naturally I realised that reverses are also just swaps!

MartyByrde

This is awesome. I was thinking on the same lines but just couldn't realize that reverse operation can be seen as swap.

Tzak

There is a mistake in the editorial for F, $$$[l,r]$$$ should map to $$$[l\text{^}(x\&\text{~}(2^k-1)), r\text{^}(x\&\text{~}(2^k-1))]$$$ instead.

Thank you for noticing me. I'll edit it.

A very subtle mistake which can be done in the D question is that, while calculating the frequency of the edges, you might use modular multiplication, which will give the wrong answer, as very high edge frequency, under modulo might become somewhat lesser, and in the end when sorting the frequency array, it might be more towards the smaller side and hence answer obtained will be lesser than the actual answer.

Auto comment: topic has been updated by Anus1373 (previous revision, new revision, compare).

I still barely understand the proof of case m > n — 1 in problem D, that is why labeling the (m — n + 2) largest pi to the largest wi and the rest to the remaining wi results in a maximum answer?

You sort the edges by frequency, which is correct. But you sort after taking them mod, which is not correct.

What is wrong with my submission for B problem https://codeforces.com/contest/1401/submission/90863117

runoxinabox

For Question E wouldn't the runtime complexity for a sweep algorithm using a segment tree set be O((m+n)*log(m+n)) instead of O(nlogn + mlogm)?

Suppose we are sweeping from left to right. Then we would need to stop at every x value that corresponds to {beginning of horizontal segment, end of horizontal segment, or a vertical segment}. This adds up to (2n+m).

And for the segment tree, if we were to use index compression, we would still have to include leaf nodes for both the y-values corresponding to horizontal segments and the top/bottom y-values for vertical segments to be able to efficiently obtain a range query. So this would add to (n+2m).

Another possible solution is to use an ordered set instead of a segment tree, and we would only store the y-values of active horizontal segments. And for every vertical segment we can perform the range query using lower and upper bound, which would be O(logm). But this would still lead to a runtime of O((n+m)*logm).

I'm mainly just thinking out loud here, but if anyone can confirm/refute what I have here your help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: So I just realized that using lower and upper bound with an ordered set would require O(m) instead of O(logm) since finding the distance between two iterators in a data structure without random access is linear. So this would mean that the segment tree is the fastest option. But my point still stands that the time complexity is O((n+m)*log(m+n)).

How does Problem C solution work for

Ex. 4 24 12

Although 24 and 12 are divisible by 4 they can't be swapped as their GCD is 12 but from the tutorial it looks like they can be swapped.

1401D — Maximum Distributed Tree. My solution is failing on 5th (where n=100000) test case, I think its most probably because of overflow. I am not able to debug it. It would be kind if someone could explain where I went wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Can someone find out where i'm going wrong. I did everything by following editorial and i dont know where im going wrong. Link-https://codeforces.com/contest/1401/submission/91049767

problem c: mere array:- how is it nlogn ?

mr.ax_0911

i am new in cp but any one see in problem C that their clearly mention *If gcd(ai,aj) is equal to the minimum element of the whole array a, you can swap ai and aj * .but when i see tutorial answer was without mention about GCD. so is tutorial was wrong OR Problem.

Can anyone explain problem 2 for me I am really unable to understand why he eliminated (1,0) and (0,2) and didn't even consider (2,0) or (2,1). I am new to this any help would be great. Thanks!

DIV 2 PROBLEM B

My solution...

My solution is working but I am doing more calculations than editorial, please explain where I am wrong.

Am I doing unnecessary calculation in my code?? HOW??

I wonder why you use for(;t--;) unusual isn't it? Is there any special reason? I have seen most of the people using while(t--).

I know that. But I use for(;t--;), so also used it.

In problem C, suppose we have {2,3,9,6}. Then how will your code as given in tutorial work?

Alternate O(nq) solution for F:

Make a standard RSQ segment tree. Define the 'level' of a node in the tree as log2(size of range covered by node). The level of the root is obviously n.

An operation "swap k" can be simulated by swapping the left child and right child of all nodes with level = (k+1).

An operation "reverse k" can be simulated by swapping the left and right child of all nodes with level <= k.

The swap and reverse operations can be done fast with a lazy propagation type optimisation. After this, it's just basic query and updates on a segment tree.

For problem D, when counting the number of vertices after removing one edge, don't we get a complexity of n². Since there are n-1 edges, and n vertices ?

Can anyone point what is the mistake here...as I have spent too much time on this problem and still unable to figure the bug out.
