good contest for "try of pen",i like it,thanks.waiting soon for your div 2 and div 1 contests.
Even though the DIV3 was harder than the last few DIV3's, I think the problem set was way more enjoying and educational for a lot of people. I hope you set more DIV3's MrPaul_TUser
But please, make it easier, as a person with <1600 rating,I can say, that at least 4-th problem was very and very hard for actual div3 participants.MrPaul_TUser Thank you anyway. ;)
actually,i dont think that this contest was harder than standart div 3
Transposing the table in D2 was a nice idea! Saves a lot of casework.
Can you explain how transposing would give the same notion as m odd and n even? why are the values swapped?
A slightly shorter branchless alternative implementation of A, which does the same job (adding 1 to n before division by 3 is the same as incrementing the result by 1 in the case if the remainder was 2):
can someone tell the error in code for problem E if I use some other method to memoize it run upto test case 4 : Problem E
After 9 days later
Please help me in this code (problem B2).
I'm not able to figure out where I'm doing wrong.
This code is failing on tescase-185 of test-2.
My submission
According to me you are assigning a occurrence of number same color assigned earlier.
Have u got the error in ur soln as i am also facing the same issue.
when ur are considering the nos having frequency less than k the order also matters suppose there are 4 colors. and 1,2,3 are having count less than 4. if the arrangement is like : 1 2 2 3 1 nos in array. 1 2 3 4 1 coloring . the no 1 is getting the same color.
got it. Thanks!
Weird, I think I took it into consideration. Your testcase seems to be working for me. Can you provide anything else? This is my submission: 123642660.
I made the same mistake as you. For the testcase:
Your code outputs:
0 0 1 2 3
which is obviously wrong. The idea is that for the numbers where the number of it's occurrences < k you first color all instances of that number then move forward to the next number. Here's my solution, hopefully it's readable.This reply wasn't to me but since I didn't get any help I'm bumping this. Your sample case yields the output:
3 1 2 0 0
which seems correct if I'm not mistaking the problem statement.Really enjoyed A and B! Thanks for a great contest.
https://codeforces.com/contest/1551/submission/123610411 This is my submission for problem F. According to me the complexity of my solution is of degree 4 so how did this not give TLE?
you are lucky
Yeah but still the runtime is just 62ms
clear $$$n^3k$$$ time for $$$n,k<=100$$$
The O(n^3k) part of your code is setting the dp table to -1, which has a small constant and runs very quickly (10^8 operations). Your recursive solve function for every root and distance runs in O(n^2k) time since every edge can only be connect to 2 vertices. Iteration to find combination over each edge happens at most twice each edge.
What if problem C was changed a bit and one letter should have more occurence than other letters taken individually, and not in total, how should we proceed then?
I misread the problem as you described during contest and was banging my head to get a solution :(.
Same story :(
Not sure whether this is correct, but here is what came to my mind.
We can calculate the maximum number of words we can take considering every character as the 'dominant' character.
Let us say we want to have 'a' as the dominant character. We iterate over all the words one by one, taking all of them in our collection (for now) and keeping track of the total frequency of every character till now. We also maintain separate sets for F(s, 'a', c2), where F(s, 'a', c2) represents this — In word s, frequency('a') — frequency(c2).
So now, suppose we encounter a word due to which 'a' is no longer our dominant character, but instead 'b' is. We refer to our set for F(s, 'b', 'a') and remove the the word s which has the largest F(s, 'b', 'a') from our collection (and also from other sets).
The idea is, take all words as you encounter them. But if a certain words causes 'a' to lose its dominancy to some other character (say 'b'), we will remove such a word which will reduce the total frequency of 'b' as much as possible while not hurting 'a' much, thus restoring dominancy of 'a'.
bro, just realized i read the problem wrong,thnks
The contest was great! It would be better if the editorial for C, would be more explained!
It is possible to solve E with a 1D dp. Details in spoiler.
(Everything below is considered to be 1-indexed)
Note that in your solution, if $$$a_i$$$ is the last fixed point you have, the number of elements you must have deleted is $$$i-a_i$$$.
Let us say $$${dp}_i$$$ is the maximum number of fixed points you can have if you keep the $$$i^{th}$$$ element. Initially, set all $$${dp}_i=-\infty$$$. Now we need to update it by traversing $$${dp}_{1...i-1}$$$. We need to check some conditions.
If $$$a_1==1$$$, $$${dp}_1:=1$$$.
If $$$a_i>i$$$, we can skip computing it.
Now, $$${dp}_i:=1$$$ at least for sure. Suppose we are considering $$${dp}_j$$$ right now, so $$$a_j$$$ is going to be our previous fixed point. Obviously, $$${dp}_j>0$$$. Next, the number of elements you are required to delete for $$$a_j$$$ to be a fixed point mustn't be more than the number required for $$$a_i$$$, so $$$j-a_j \leq i-a_i$$$. And finally, there must be enough elements in between to make $$$a_i$$$ a fixed point. So, $$$(i-a_i)-(j-a_j) \leq i-j-1$$$. If all the conditions are satisfied, $$${dp}_i:=\max({dp}_i, {dp}_j+1)$$$.
Now all we need to find is the minimum of $$$i-a_i$$$ over all $$$i$$$ such that $$${dp}_i \geq k$$$.
Submission: 123519134
Well done! Nice solution.
seems to be just
right?
Yeah...you can simplify the condition like that. I just thought it made more sense to present it the way I did.
Tutorial for D2 seems complecated.
We can reduce to two cases: Number of rows is odd or is even.
In case odd we need to place one row of horz dominoes, max k dominoes. In case even we do not.
Then we place allways two rows of dominoes at once, until k dominos are placed. Then fill all other fields with vert dominoes.
Finding a useable letter foreach dominoe is not hard, simply check the surrounding cells. 123518743
In case odd we need to place one row of vert dominoes
I think there should be horizontal dominoes instead of vert..as in one row only horizontal dominoes can come.
Yes, sorry, that is a typo. I changed "vert" to "horz".
Hey , I found your approach beautiful . But I know that I will never be able to find this kind of approach by myself. Can you show some lights on how you started thinking about the problem , and eventually came to this solution .
If anybody is interested and have enough time to help me, please do. I understand their are better approaches for B2 then this, but I am not able to understand why did this approach failed.
Approach :
Here is the link for the submission — fails on tc 554 123566013
Also show no mercy if the code is bad, so that I get to learn how to code better than what I have done.
Peace out!
use this tc 1 6 3 1 2 5 3 3 3 your solution will output 1 1 2 2 3 0 but one of the correct ans will be in the form 1 2 3 1 2 3 I think your solution will also give tle for larger value of n. if you till have any doubt feel free to ask me.
Thank you Astro-naut! Understood due to the tc! Now will go for the better approach thanks a lot !
Is it possible to solve Equidistant Vertices in faster than O(N^2 K) (maybe with some optimization in the dp)?
Here's what I think. If you fixed the root, and then you fixed the depth of the nodes from the root, you want to find the number of ways to pick $$$k$$$ nodes from them so that their pairwise LCA is the root. Naturally, this splits up our set into some $$$m$$$ groups, from which we can fix $$$k$$$ groups and then the number of ways would be the product of the sizes of those groups. Let's say the group sizes are $$$g_1, g_2,...,g_m$$$. If we consider the polynomial $$$(x+g_1)(x+g_2)...(x+g_m)$$$, then the value we want is the $$$k^{th}$$$ coefficient starting from the largest term ($$$0$$$-indexed). Now, this product can probably be computed in $$$\mathcal{O}(n {\log}^2 n)$$$ with divide-and-conquer+FFT/NTT for an overall complexity of $$$\mathcal{O}(n^2{\log}^2 n)$$$. I haven't implemented it myself, so please point out the error if you think I'm wrong.
Oh that's a nice idea. How is Kth coefficient computed in O(N log^2(N)) though?
Well, I think the following: If we split our product into two halves and compute each half, we'll get two polynomials of roughly equal degree, which we can then multiply with FFT/NTT. The recurrence relation would look like $$$T(n)=2T(\frac{n}{2})+ \mathcal{O}(n\log n)$$$, and we can use the master theorem for divide-and-conquer to get that this works out to $$$\mathcal{O}(n{\log}^2 n)$$$. We can simply extract the required coefficient from the final answer presented in the form of a list of coefficients.
Ah I see. Nice solution! Could this be done faster with generating functions?
Sorry, no idea.
I am getting TLE for test case two for prob B2. Can someone tell me is my approach wrong as I am getting TLE even though tc is NlogN. My solution https://codeforces.com/contest/1551/submission/123636719
When the number of test cases is equal to 10000 your vectors hsh[200005] and prev[200005] initializations take too much time. Try the size of vectors N like in your v[] and ans[] vectors.
But your greedy idea to take the first vacant color is incorrect. Try test:

1 2 3 4 5 6 6 7 7
Your answer is:

Thanks a lot ! I got it where I was going wrong.
You Should upvote him for helping.
**For those who are struggling with the C problem **
Approach : we have only five characters ..so we can check explicitly for each character and choose the most suitable ans. for this we will use the term advantage(+ or -ve) & this will be calculated by the formula advantage = frequency(current_char) — frequency(other chars). we will store these in the array & will sort in the descending order after that we will count the the numbers of this array while the sum remaining +ve
and finally we have to maximise this number of terms.
Hope this helps:)

Happy To Help You!
Problem B2:
let's calculate for each of k colors the number of elements painted in the color — all calculated numbers must be equal
I am not understanding how are we managing this condition in given tutorial. Please anybody explain
Take k occurrences of the numbers whose frequency is greater than or equal to k. For all other numbers, take the total sum of frequencies of these numbers (let say the sum is s), and color a*k of these occurrences s.t. (a+1)*k>s .

You may correct your program with changing as more colors for one value as you need. It will be a loop for your w variable.
Thanks for pointing out the error
good game!!!
Another approach for B2 would be doing binary search on how many elements can be painted in one color.
Can you please elaborate your idea of binary search because I was trying to do it through binary search but got tle on tc5.Although B1 passes due to low constraints . Here's my submission https://codeforces.com/contest/1551/submission/124039451 Can I improve my code or do I need to think of solving it through another approach ?
You need to change your good() function. You should use something like set which will keep the pairs sorted. You can seelink my check() function
Hey! Guys, can you help me with problem 1551B2 - Wonderful Coloring - 2? I didn't understand the editorial :(
The terms of the question are: i)each number should have different colors. i.e; a number cannot have the same color twice or more. ii)each color should occur the same number of times iii)the number of elements painted must be maximum. sol: let me explain with an example a=[3,1,1,1,1,10,3,10,10,2] and k=3.
Thanks alot for the amazing contest it was really great solving problems in this contest ! Keep up the good work ! Cheers !
IN PROBLEM B2, when i use array to store the answer, code gets accepted (https://codeforces.com/contest/1551/submission/123682445) . BUT when i use vector to store the answer , it shows TLE. https://codeforces.com/contest/1551/submission/123682542 . can anyone explain ?? (i have written the same code as given in tutorial except that i have used vector to store the answer)
You see your vector initialization takes more time then memset() for an array. You don't need so big vector, length of n+1 is enough.
both vector and array that i have used(see both codes once) are initialised with the same size (i.e, 2*(1e5)+13).So, why does using vector gives TLE.
Yes, your vector has the same size as your array has. But array occupies a continuos segment of memory, so array initialization is more faster, it works like memset() function. Vector is a more complex structure, so vector initialization takes time as a loop for().
Your solution with vector will work with reduced size of vector.
understood. thanks for explaining
I am getting wrong answer on test2 in problem B2, can anyone help? https://codeforces.com/contest/1551/submission/123691506 message is: wrong answer Not all colors have equal number of elements (test case 460)

Try to wrap color numeration p to 1 after color number == k and start with p for the next value. To prevent same values of one color don't push excess position numbers in your forward_list ls.

Hey everyone, I'm a noobie in this community. Really enjoyed problem B2, learnt a few things along the ride. I am getting the wrong output though, if someone can point me in the right direction I'd be thankful. Here's my submission: 125525276
Your code got stuck in the same test case as mine did, buddy! Let's have a look at each other's code and discuss.
Hey there, Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the Go language. I found out what was happening so the code would fail in my submission. My method for coloring was fine, but in some instances, it was coloring more than it should. The way I solved it was finding out the real maximum elements we can color. I leave some test cases that helped me figure it out. Maybe it will serve you as well.
Hope it helps :-)
Thanks, buddy! I have already solved it. It turns out to be a silly bug caused by my misunderstanding on Golang syntax. :-(
147410960 Hii! can someone check why is it failing on test case 1, even when everything is correct according to me. Thanks!
If you look at the output, you have a situation where two vertical dominos, sharing a side have same color. This is not allowed, as mentioned in problem as well.
