If you are/were getting a WA/RE verdict on problems from this contest, you can get the smallest possible counter example for your submission on cfstress.com. To do that, click on the relevant problem's link below, add your submission ID, and edit the table to increase/decrease the constraints.

I've also added a new feature to view progress of your judgement in near real-time. (For example, the current state of your ticket, how many inputs were evaluated, etc).

If you are not able to find a counter example even after changing the parameters, reply to this thread, mentioning the contest_id, problem_index and submission_id.

      in problem I made simple observation that whenever number of negative is greater

      let say r = number of negative in subarray — number of pos in subarray

      if r >0 and r%3 == 0 then subarray will be promissing

      I used divide and conquer to calculate those subarray

There is a solution in the f2 order_set or fenw_tree.This is awesome

Can anyone please point out for me the difference between these two submissions:

152864441(I used vector and got WA)

152864364 (I used array and got AC)

Thanks in advance!!!

    Most likely this is due to integer overflow with arrays.

        Look at expression in line 21:

        if((n == 1 && vec[0] > 1) || (vec[n — 1] — vec[n — 2] > 1))

        The condition behind the OR doesn't check for vector size, so for n == 1, then you are evaluating this: (vec[0] — vec[-1] > 1)

        Imagine this input:

        1

        1

        1

        Then:

        (n == 1 && vec[0] > 1) || (vec[0] — vec[-1] > 1)

        (1 == 1 && 1 > 1) || (1 — vec[-1] > 1)

        (true && false) || (1 — vec[-1] > 1)

        false || (1 — ?? > 1)

        So basically you are accessing vec[-1]. Depending on the value in that "illegal" memory position, it may be true or false. Same happens for arr[-1], but you just go lucky there with the memory value there at the time of the submit.

I think there is a mistake in tutorial for problem C. Instead of used it should be prev.

Can someone give me the DP solution of number C? I think it will help me get intuition faster to this types of problems.

    I tried to analyse your code : pair<ll,pair<ll,ll>> give_mx(vll &v,ll i,ll j){ ll prod=1; for(int k=i;k<=j;++k)prod*=v[k]; suppose i = 2 and j = n-1; so you will make j-i iterations which is n-2 and if n=1e5 so the you will have product of pow(2,1e5) which is impossible because as we know that max value of long integer cant be more than (in this range 2^62) so in the process you will get bad behaviour of overflow , just if I'm wrong just tell me maybe i couldn't clearly understood your code
