Idk how I passed C after 4 WAs, just did some +/- math. Idea was to move diagonally as much as possible and align the x coordinate or y coordinate with the target node.

Code

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define fast ios::sync_with_stdio(0); cin.tie(0); cout.tie(0);
#define ll long long
#define all(v) v.begin(),v.end()
#define F first
#define S second
#define pb push_back
#define mp make_pair
#define pi pair<int,int>
#define pii pair<int,pi>
#define rep(i,n) for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
#define rrep(i,n) for(int i=n-1;i>=0;--i)
#define cusrep(i,a,b,j) for(int i=a;i<b;i+=j)
#define rng(i,a,b) for(int i=a;i<b;i++)
#define rrng(i,a,b) for(int i=a;i>b;--i)
#define ar array

void run_case() {
  ll sx, sy, tx, ty;
  cin >> sx >> sy >> tx >> ty;
  ll alpha = min(abs(sx-tx), abs(sy-ty));
  ll nx = (sx>=tx) ? sx - alpha : sx + alpha;
  ll ny = (sy>=ty) ? sy - alpha : sy + alpha;

  if(ty%2==0){
      if(abs(tx)%2!=0){
        --tx;
      }
    } else {
      if(abs(tx)%2==0){
        --tx;
      }
  }
  if(sy!=ty){
    if(ty%2==0){
      if(abs(nx)%2!=0){
        --nx;
      }
    } else {
      if(abs(nx)%2==0){
        --nx;
      }
    }
  }
  ll ans = alpha + (1LL*abs(nx - (tx))/2LL) + 1LL*abs(ny - ty);
  cout << ans << "\n";
}
 
int main() {
  fast;
  int t = 1;
  while(t--){
    run_case();
  }
}

Idk man, I just figured some +/- math after moving diagonally as much as possible and aligning resultant x or y with target node. After that it was tricky to move in the same direction where I did some guessing.

There are indeed simpler solutions, but small to large merging is also simple enough. It's only about 30 lines and 5 mins or so is enough to implement it (my solution in contest was small to large merging).

if t<=abs(a-c) and t!=0: print(int(abs(a-c) -1.5*abs(b-d))//2 + abs(b-d)+1) else: a=abs(b-d) print(a) please explain me why my code is incorrect please

you can try to move the initial and the end points to adjacent ones (where (x + y) mod 2 = 0) such that each one is still in its tile and then draft some examples

2 недели назад, # ^ |

Idea is to move diagonally as much as possible and then align target with the resultant x or y coordinate. Tricky part was to move in the same direction in x. In y its just that difference of y coordinates as height of tiles are 1.

Let $$$dp[i][m]$$$ (for $$$k - 1 \leq i \lt n$$$) represent the number of ways of constructing a good prefix of the first $$$i$$$ characters ending with mask $$$m$$$.

For $$$i = k - 1$$$, this is fairly direct, check all $$$2^k$$$ possible masks and see if they work (are possible and don't contain any palindromes). If they do, set $$$dp[k - 1][m] = 1$$$, otherwise set it to $$$0$$$.

Now notice that the masks for position $$$i$$$ and $$$i - 1$$$ share $$$k - 1$$$ characters. So for any $$$i \geq k$$$, we can check each of the $$$2^k$$$ masks again. If a mask $$$m$$$ is valid, we simply calculate $$$dp[i][m] = dp[i - 1][m'] + dp[i - 1][m' + 1]$$$ where $$$m'$$$ is $$$m$$$ with its highest ($$$(k - 1)$$$-th) bit disabled.

I used small to large in G. But I can't understand what's wrong in my solution. mp[v][c] contains two numbers: the number of vertices of color c in v's subtree and the total length of paths to them.

#define dbga(x,l,r) cout << (#x) << ": "; for (int ii=l;ii<r;ii++) cout << x[ii] << " "; cout << endl;
#define int long long
#define pi pair<int, int>
const int N = 1e6+9;
int n, ans, a[N], sz[N];
vector<int> vec[N];
map<int, pi> *mp[N];
int add[N];
void dfs(int v, int p = -1) {
    sz[v] = 1;
    pi mx = {-1, -1};
    for (int u: vec[v]) {
        if (u == p) continue;
        dfs(u, v);
        sz[v] += sz[u];
        mx = max(mx, pi{sz[u], u});
    }
    if (mx.se == -1) {
        mp[v] = new map<int, pi>;
        (*mp[v])[a[v]] = {1, 0};
        return;
    }
    mp[v] = mp[mx.se];
    add[v] = add[mx.se] + 1;

    (*mp[v])[a[v]].fi++;
    (*mp[v])[a[v]].se -= add[v];

Tbh C was cute problem. I didn't like it either, but it's really simple and solution is pretty concise. I feel like CP turned into mindlessly rewriting same algos over and over, especially on AtCoder ABC. Problems like this humiliate you in a good way.

I also don't like problems like this one. But since ABC is supposed to be educational, I try to make use of such problems. For example, I've learned the following lessons (in this particular order):

Skip nasty non-standard grid problems whenever it's possible. Especially if there are problems with more points to get.
Try to find out "simple observation" (as they will call it in editorial for sure) before considering shit tons of edge cases.
Test your solution like crazy. After the first WA, write stress test immediately, don't wait for luck.
Solving more and more similar problems make your more resistant and prepared to them.
Competitive programming is 100% pain.

E was stack and $$$\text{O(N)}$$$ ? (Asking cuz constraints had 2e5)

Code

void solve() {
    int n;
    cin >> n;
    vector<int> h(n), dif(n);
    inc(i, n) cin >> h[i];
    stack<pair<int, int> > st;
    st.push({1e9 + 1, 0});
    inc(i, n){
        auto val = st.top().first;
        if(val < h[i]){
            while(val < h[i]){
                st.pop();
                val = st.top().first;
            }
        }
        dif[i] = st.top().second;
        st.push({h[i], i+1});
    }

    vector<ll> final(n + 1);
    for(int i = 1; i<=n; ++i){
        final[i] = final[dif[i-1]] + (1LL*h[i-1]*(i - dif[i-1]));
    }

    for(int i = 1; i<=n; ++i) cout << final[i] + 1 << " ";

C was exactly same as https://codeforces.net/contest/1421/problem/D. Just consider the right point of tiles (moving between left and right didn't encounter any cost), and those right points forms the hexagon.

It can be solved via linear algebra, no need to go into greedy

Problem F has appeared here previously : https://www.luogu.com.cn/problem/P7840

However, Luogu is a website that currently mainly used in China. So I think it is a coincidence. I only point out for notice.

Here is the translation by Copilot:

There are $$$n$$$ servers.
Each server has a busyness level denoted by $$$v_i$$$.
The servers are connected using $$$n−1$$$ network links.
Each server has a connection count $$$d_i$$$.

The total running time of the server network is given by the expression:

$$$ \sum_{i = 1}^n d_i^2 v_i $$$

The goal is to minimize this value.

Is it hard to check weight? Inexplicably! Only a fool thinks so. The questions are exactly the same, and luogu is a great site for brushing up on questions, and the bottom line as a question writer is to not come up with exactly the same questions. Even though the questions are in Chinese, can't you learn Chinese? You can't read Chinese, can you? And ziyistudy is stating facts and you're defending a shit group of question writers. I think you are very wrong.
