Guys my code is giving correct output for D sample testcase. But after submission it says sample output are wrong. How even it is possible? I am use "Yes" & "No" only as output. my submission:https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc348/submissions/52108589

    did your sample test case pass in local? Same problem with me. My sample testcase pass in local but failing on submission

        but why are you getting 1 wa on sample input. Are these sample input different from problem's sample input.

Any hint for Problem F? I'm guessing DP or something to do with sets but have not really come up with a solution for it.

    It's a dogshit problem. Just write bruteforce with pragmas (that O3 optimization) and it will magically work.

    Idk if there's a 'real' smart solution, but this is intended as far as I can see from evima's editorial lmao.

      I just saw the video too, and it seems that optimisation is indeed what was expected. Well, I'd say it's still a new trick to learn (for me anyway).

    You can solve it by BFS. This is my code.

    Maybe you can reference my code, $$$f_{i, j}$$$ means maximum from point $$$S$$$ to $$$(i, j)$$$,finally we can check if the point $$$f_{T} \ge 0$$$ and we can see the answer.

It seems intended solution for F has O(NNM) time complexity. Don't like it.

Btw, G has appeared before ucup season 2 round 3 problem L (partially free meal). Not complaining because such rounds are meant to be educational so problems that have appeared before are fine

Thanks for linked my blog in the (japanese) editorial though :flushed:

    Just do the Brute Force way. Time complexity will be around O(NWH).

How to solve $$$\text{problem G}$$$, I saw many submissions using $$$\text{max-plus convolution}$$$ and some using $$$\text{segtree + divide and conquer}$$$. I am unable to understand both of them pls help :(

    Sort the items in order of increasing $$$b_i$$$. For two different values of $$$k$$$, say $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$, let in the optimal choice of elements, the max values of $$$b_i$$$ are $$$b_x$$$ and $$$b_y$$$ respectively. We can prove that if $$$x < y$$$ then $$$b_x \leq b_y$$$.

    Also, if you fix some $$$b_i$$$, then the optimal answer for some $$$k$$$ is just the sum of maximum $$$k$$$ $$$a_i$$$$$$s$$$ in the prefix ending at $$$i$$$ minus $$$b_i$$$. So, for a fixed $$$b_i$$$ and $$$k$$$, you can evaluate the answer in $$$O(logn)$$$ using some data structure that gives the sum of $$$k$$$ maximum elements in a range.

    To evaluate for each $$$k$$$, you can use the fact that the optimal $$$b_i$$$ values are monotonically non-decreasing. It is a common idea to use Divide and Conquer. Refer to this article for more info on this idea.

I think atcoder user Syxqwq cheated in abc348. Reason: Use of a lot of strange code in https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc348/submissions/52112317 and in very many recent atcoder contests to confuse her submissions in order not to get her account banned. It is recommended that Atcoder admins ban her. atcoder_official please banned Syxqwq, her atcoder account is Syxqwq too. qwq

I implemented DFS for D but failed to pass, is it because DFS is just a wrong approach? Can't find the reason.
