I have seen many people code segment tree solutions for E (including tourist).

Can someone please explain how segment tree was used in this question? PS: I understood the solution explained here using dp.

    For checking the minimum cost for the previous d cells and the sum of dp starting from the ith row and i+kth row I used a segtree as I had a pretty flexible template and it would pass the TL and be easy to code.

    It is easy to use segment tree just to calculate the minimum in the range where range is D elements before it using segment tree.

    It could be used to find minimum elementsin O(logn), however this is absolutely not necessary, I for exmaple got E with a deque.

Alternate G solution:

Use each subway line as nodes and each station as edges. The trick is to process each station only once.

        How can this solution distinguish between vertices and colors? For example node 1 is connected to node 2 with edge of color 1. Edit : Ok so this is taking two graphs for that one is pointing to the adjecent color and another is pointing to the adjecent nodes.

    maybe, B had a trick that may have been harder to catch than C which is easier to figure out, but harder to implement. Though, this would be splitting hairs. D, though, in my opinion, is significantly harder than B to implement and earned its spot.

Problem C can also be solved with Aho Corasick Automaton. Build a $$$dp[n][m]$$$ where $$$n$$$ is the length of the string and $$$m$$$ is the number of states in the automaton, where $$$dp[i][j]$$$ tells us the minimum number of changes needed to be in state $$$j$$$ of the automaton (which represents some partial or complete matching with some pattern) considering the prefix $$$s[0...i]$$$. It's kinda overkill for this problem, but it's an interesting idea to know. Here's my submission 250707601.

      You can calculate the answer for one row in O(m) by using monotone deque (afterward, you can obviously find the minimum amongst all windows of size k in O(n)).

My approach to G was as follows: make a new graph $$$G'$$$ where each node represents an edge in the original graph. There will be an edge between nodes corresponding to $$$(u,v)$$$ and $$$(v,w)$$$, with weight 0 if they have the same color and 1 otherwise. Then I'm doing 0-1 BFS from $$$(b,x)$$$ for all $$$x$$$ which are neighbors of $$$b$$$. Can someone please help me in optimizing the creation of this graph, because currently my method to generate this new graph is giving TLE.

ABC — average, div-4 level problems.

D — bad, why set a problem about naive simulation at this level? Also, editorial code has a $$$\log$$$ factor that is not reflected in the complexity analysis. It may not sound like a big deal to you, but beginners regularly get confused by such things.

E — bad, unusual distance definition. Also, the editorial solution has an extra $$$\log$$$ factor for no reason. Finding minimums/maximums in a sliding window is a well-known monotonic queue problem with equally short implementation. Div 3 rounds are supposed to be educational for beginners, please live up to the name.

F — bad, the unusual 2e9 limit was unnecessary. What are you, fishing for overflows? 1e8 was enough to TLE all convolution-based solutions, but you may as well have used 1e18 if you really wanted to avoid anything unintended. And once again, binary search is not necessary. Just sort both arrays and use two-pointers.

G — Good.

        How can we prove that this will actually give us the closest pair to target as possible? Using binary search it's pretty straight forward but I'm can't prove it for your two pointers approach.

          Say both $$$d$$$ and $$$f$$$ are sorted in ascending order (wlog all numbers are unique).

          If $$$d_j + f_l < x$$$ then $$$d_{j'} + f_l < d_j + f_l < x$$$ for all $$$j' < j$$$ and hence $$$|(d_{j'} + f_l) - x| > |(d_j + f_l) - x|$$$. Therefore, no pair $$$(j', l)$$$ with $$$j' < j$$$ is optimal. Similarly, no pair $$$(j, l')$$$ with $$$l' < l$$$ is optimal.

          We already considered all pairs with $$$l' > l$$$, so the remaining candidates are pairs with $$$j' > j$$$. Hence we should increment $$$j$$$.

          Similarly, we should decrement $$$l$$$ if $$$d_j + f_l > x$$$.

          Alternatively, you may show that this two-pointers algorithm finds the same indices as your binary searches.

    F — ... binary search is not necessary. Just sort

    If sort is O(n*log(n)) and m (2**16) is much bigger than k (2**8):

    Sort m and k, then two pointers:

    2**16 * 16 + 2**8 * 8 + 2**16 + 2**8 = 2**20
    

    Sort only k, then binary search:

    2**8 * 8 + 2**16 * 8 = 2**19

      Bold of you to assume that constant factors are the same. std::{lower,upper}_bound is a straightforward algorithm that implements binary search exactly how you do. It also makes a lot of jumps in memory. Meanwhile, std::sort is quite heavily optimized, and two-pointers make no jumps whatsoever.

  • Slightly less casework required solution for C: count of "map" + count of "pie" — count of "mapie"

  • For D, state DP is better, has better time complexity, and far more braindead (literally obvious to everyone after enough practice?). May or may not require vector.resize() (note to self: CLEAR THE ENTIRE VECTOR BEFORE RESIZING YOU DUMB FUCK)

  • For E, multiset has horrendous constant factor (see: My -9 in that Div3 D several contests ago). Use a priority queue instead. To get the minimum "available" value, just throw every value that could no longer be used out of the pq

    dist is a map which stores pair<int, int> as key, and int is value

    So "cout << dist[{e, 0}];" means print the value of {e, 0} key

    {e, 0} is a pair, e is first and 0 is second

    In addition to considering breaking down the maximum difference $$$(a_{i+1}-a_i)$$$, the second biggest difference between $$$a$$$ elements should also be factored in. Consider the test case:

    3 1 1
    1 7 12
    2
    2
    

    Also, when performing binary search (function f in your code), the boolean that it should answer would be: is there $$$d \in D$$$, $$$f \in F$$$ such that $$$max\left(d+f-a_i \, ,\, a_{i+1}-\left(d+f\right)\right) \leq mid$$$.

        I made modification to your code (251127599) and it runs correctly.

        To elaborate on how to binary search on getting an optimal split between $$$[a_i, a_{i+1}]$$$: for $$$d$$$ and $$$f$$$ we would want to minimize $$$|(\frac{a_i+a_{i+1}}{2} - (d+f))|$$$. For a $$$mid$$$, we seek $$$d$$$ and $$$f$$$ such that $$$a_i + a_{i+1}-mid \leq 2 \cdot (d+f) \leq a_i + a_{i+1}+mid$$$ If res is the minimum such $$$mid$$$ which satisfies, then the required imbalance between newly added problem and $$$a_i, a_{i+1}$$$ would be (a[i+1]-a[i]+res)/2

      You've got the original nodes (station vertices) and the newly created color vertices (corresponding to all the distinct colored edges possible).

      Now you draw an edge from the two groups (station to color and vice versa). An edge is drawn from station vertex a to color vertex b if and only if there is an edge color b incident to station vertex a.

      Now you perform simple BFS and report the destination distance/2. Note: You consider the edge weight to be 1. Now think why we divided by 2. Also think how this is a bipartite graph.

For $$$G$$$, I noticed that if a particular vertex has edges of colors $$$(c_1, c_2, c_3 ... c_k)$$$ then the sub-graphs of these colors can be reached by others of this set through at-most 1 different colored edge. So all we need to do is keep track of which "color" belongs which "clusters" (I call each such set a cluster), and vice versa. Then just expand the cloud of visited colors, till we reach a color which is connected to the destination.

As someone who has little math background and is algorithmically weak. I think it is quite intuitive and easier to come up with. Submission-->251004746

    We need to decrese the max gap right (the one having max A[i] - A[i-1])
    Now,we can just insert one element (What it would be!!)
        Obviously mid , mid = (A[i] + A[i-1]) / 2
    
    So indirectly , Question transform to  find (i,j) such that D[i] + F[j] is closest to mid
    This is two pointer right,  (Sort D and F and then find it right)

I found an interesting solution to the problem G . I reformulate the graph G to G' as follows:

1) Each colour is a node in the graph G'.

2) Each node which is an endpoint of atleast 2 edges of different color is also inserted as a node in my graph. These nodes are special as they "link" 2 different colors. Now for the type (2) nodes I insert an edge E of the original graph , with one endpoint at the node itself and the other endpoint at the color of the edge of our considered type (2) node in the original graph . For example: for the given sample input in the question n = 6 m = 6

(Edge , colour)

1 2 1

2 3 1

5 2 2

2 4 2

4 6 2

3 6 3

In the reformed graph G': Nodes : (color1) , (color2), (color3) , (2) , (3) , (6) Edges : (6->color3) , (6->color2),(2->color1),(2->color2) , (3->color1),(3->color3) Note : 2,3,6 were added as they were part of edges of atleast two distinct colors ,and their edges were added as shown above.

The approach seems long in writing but intuitively its quite simple. Each connected component of a colour is treated here as a SUPER NODE and the other nodes were added to simplify how the colours are connected amongst themselves.

As a multisource BFS is sufficient to find number of minimum colors required to go from set of colors to any particular colors the answer can be found easily.

The link to my submission:251061492

Here for type(2) nodes i insert their negatives , so that they dont collide with the colors. Please excuse me for the messy code.

    You can also add half weight in the newly formed graph and then apply dijiskstra

This is my code for Problem E using memoization which is giving TLE on test case 6 (obviously because Time Complexity is O(n.m.d). I saw various optimised iterative DP approaches used by people with multiset/dequeue/priority queue, but cant find a memoized solution. Can anyone help me out with optimising my memoized approach. Thanks.

    There are two problems here

    • the line if (b[i] > md) break; is wrong.

    consider this test

    1
    2 1 1
    1 100
    98
    1
    
    

    here is the answer is $$$98$$$, but your output is $$$99$$$. This happens because your code ignores any other value greater than the mid. However a pair of number might work but their summation is greater than mid, as in the above test

    • you are also getting the mid value wrong. In your code, int md = a[l] + a[r]/2;.

    Consider, $$$l=3, r = 5$$$, here $$$mid = 4$$$ however your $$$md = 5$$$ which is wrong value

    If anything isn't clear please don't hesitate to ask

can g be solved by this approach. Basically we will visit the vertices in a bfs fashion firstly at a distance of 1(this includes all the vertices that are connected by the same color of subway line to src). Then we will take all those visited vertices at a distance of 1 and visit the next vertices. Also unlike the trivial bfs we won't mark the vertex visited the 1st time we reach it but only when all the edges incident on the vertex are traversed.

In problem D TCx is written n*m however at worst case there can be n elements inserted in set so the complexity should be something like O(m*nlogn) (bcoz insertion in set is log(n)).I am not getting it plz somebody explain.

I can't understand 4-th testcase for problem D. We have some graph with circle with nodes 1,2,3,4,5. We start at node 1, and go 4 steps in clockwise order so we end up at 5. At 5, we can do 4 steps both clockwise and counterclockwise, so we can end up at 4 (clockwise) and 1 (counterclockwise). So already something is wrong, because the answer is that only nodes 2,3,5 were visited. Where is my mistake? Can someone explain?
