2064F - We Be Summing

Solution

For an arbitrary array $$$b$$$ first notice that $$$\min(b_1,\ldots,b_i)$$$ and $$$\max(b_{i + 1},\ldots,n)$$$ is both non-increasing as we increase $$$i$$$. This means that if an array $$$b$$$ is epic then there exists a unique pair of integers $$$x, y$$$ such that $$$x + y = k$$$ and there exists $$$i, (1 \le i < |b|)$$$ such that $$$\min(b_1,\ldots,b_i) = x$$$ and $$$\max(b_{i + 1},\ldots,n) = y$$$.

Lets call an array $$$b$$$ $$$x$$$-epic if it is epic due to the pair $$$x, k - x$$$. Because the pair $$$x, y$$$ is unique, the answer will be equivalent to the sum of all $$$x$$$-epic subarrays of $$$a$$$. So lets try to find this sum.

Lets say we are trying to find the sum of all $$$x$$$ epic subarrays for a given $$$x$$$ and let $$$y = k - x$$$. Firstly the subarray must obviously contain both $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$, so lets try to find for each $$$i$$$ the number of subarrays that are epic where $$$a_i$$$ is the first instance of $$$x$$$ in the subarray. Notice that it must be true that the first element smaller than $$$x$$$ must come after the last element bigger than $$$y$$$. Notice also that there cannot be an element bigger than $$$y$$$ after the last instance of $$$y$$$.

So we should store for each index $$$j$$$ such that $$$p_j = y$$$ the length of the longest consecutive sequence of elements strictly less than $$$y$$$, which contains $$$j$$$ as its leftmost element. Then for each $$$i$$$ where $$$p_i = x$$$ we should binary search for the last time where first element smaller than $$$x$$$ after the last element bigger than $$$y$$$. Once we can use prefix sums to find the number of possible right positions of the subarray. To find the number of possible left positions of the subarray it is just the length of the longest consecutive interval which only contains element strictly larger than $$$x$$$ and contain $$$i$$$ as its right most element. Now we know the number of possible left endpoints of the subarray and right endpoints, so we can just add their product to the answer.

After doing this across all $$$i$$$ we will have the answer.

I use dp to slove the problem.

dssfsuper2

It maybe can, but there's no need to try to force dp when there's a much simpler solution

Andimeo

I used dp.

dp[i] = dp[i-2] + a[i] if a[i] is positive, max(dp[i-1], dp[i-2]) + a[i] otherwise

for practice you can try to solve problem A of previous 15-20 div2 competitions

are the recent div 2 a,b too tough..I just cant solve them or it takes a lot of time

yeah I feel so too.

practice with div3 and div4 more like give virtual contests of these contests

The older rounds are really good..the recent div 4 was also crazyy

naivedyam

One strategy I developed overtime that works for almost all As and Bs is instead of reading in text I try to visualise as I read and solve the problem visually and then translate my visual solutions into code. For B you may need to run your ideas on the sample test cases though. C onwards requires thinking of edge cases, proving your solution (occasionally B requires it too but mostly the edge cases where your code can fail are covered in samples for B) and trying to counter your idea, trying your best to make it fail before translating it to code.

It might be because you are using hashmaps/hashsets. In such a problem, you can count the frequencies using an array, because $$$a_i < 10^6$$$.

saipr

Why would it be more efficient compared to using a hashmap? Aren't insertions and lookups O(1) in hashmaps anyway?

hashmaps have O(1) operations on average, they involve computing a hash function and handling potential collisions. Worst-Case Behavior: In the worst-case scenario, hashmaps can degenerate to O(n) operations due to collisions, whereas direct indexing in an array remains O(1).

I think the major issue was the constant factor here, I could be wrong tho.

MyLeg

← Rev. 3 →

The complexities are the same. Using an array vs hashmap is still much faster.

When complexities are equal, you need to do a more granular analysis.

A hashmap (a python dict) can have a large overhead due to the cycles spent computing the key and resolving collision. The memory footprint is also large (which would increase the number of cache misses of your program).

On the other hand, using an array just requires a single memory deref. So if the keys are sufficiently small (i.e, the range of keys can fit in memory), you should always just use arrays and regular indexing.

_Kee

Time complexity of insertions and lookups of a hash table is $$$O(1)$$$ on average, $$$O(n)$$$ worst case. And it's sometimes possible to craft an input that causes most of insertions to be $$$O(n)$$$.

(And it's me who created the hack in question. I was kind of surprised that nobody else tried anti-hash in this problem. I also wanted to hack unordered_map of C++ but did not have time to do that.)

I was happy thinking I solved div 2 B for the first time ever. Maybe next time haha.

sleepyAdarsh

Yeah I have seen alot of unordered map passing yesterday B which should have got FSTd

_Kee, sleepyAdarsh

I don't know about python, but modern c++ implementations of std::unordered_map randomize the hash function internally, so its not hack-able (if they use a recent enough compiler).

And even if the hash function is not randomized, you can easily replace it with your own one which uses randomness. See this blog https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/62393

TLDR:

Can you share the source of your information about randomization? I'm not aware of any C++ compiler that does that currently.

If I understand correctly, the default hash implementation of integers in both GCC and Clang (up to latest) is "trivial hash", which is just an identity function.

alternative short solution for problem D :

observation : a query fails when suffixxor[i + 1] ^ query < a[i]

add all the queries to a trie then go from right to left keeping the suffix xor , at each position get the minimum xor in the trie if its less than a[i] then there exists a query that first fails here keep deleting the queries from the trie while their min xor is less than a[i]

I thought the same but i am unable to implement it

drk16072000

Nutella3001

No need to implement a trie. You want to find the last i such that suffixxor[i + 1] ^ query < a[i], so you can fix a bit, on which this comparison is achieved. If it`s bit, you must have an equal suffix [bit + 1, LOG] of numbers suffixxor[i + 1] ^ query and a[i], so you definitely understand the suffix of x you need. So you just iterate the bits and find the last entry of such a suffix. Here is my implementation

I wrote a solution for D that shuld be O(q log2) using a segment tree. Can someone explain me why it is giving TLE? 306427762

TalkySafe143

Not sure, but in GCC docs says:

— Built-in Function: int __builtin_clz (unsigned int x) Returns the number of leading 0-bits in x, starting at the most significant bit position. If x is 0, the result is undefined.

And your code use:

auto it = fst[y].lower_bound(ans);
...
y = 32 - __builtin_clz(x);

This maybe cause accessing to a out of bounds index. It happen sometimes that the code do not throw RE, only gets TLE.

Intellegent contest!

You don't need a segment tree to solve E

Just iterate from smallest to largest element of p, update the answer, and do a DSU merge.

solution: https://codeforces.net/contest/2064/submission/306421305

← Rev. 5 →

For E, I used a different solution.

I stored blocks of adjacent elements of the same color in a set and small-to-large merged adjacent blocks of the same color. Solution

Nice

I think its the same solution as mine. Each "block" in your code is a "set" in the DSU algorithm. You just use an amortized O(n log n) algorithm for merging the blocks/sets instead of amortized O(n \alpha(n)) like in the case of DSU.

Agent-Pea

Can you explain how to use DSU to solve E? I cannot understand why we are merging.

Auchenai01

I didn't have time to do it during the contest, but somehow I got this (looks very simple, ngl) 306458372

Faizal

For problem D, a ^ x >= b has O(log n) ranges as solutions for x.

We can maintain these ranges for each suffix, and take their intersection in O(log n) (like merging sorted lists). Each query x is then just checking how far back x belongs in, which can be done with binary search. Complexity: O(n log n log log n + q log n log log n) Submission

s_tapan099

hii, even I was thinking the same and it is more intuitive to me then editorial. but, can you explain how to find the range lower and upper bounds for a^x>=b ? is it finding a^x<b and removing this interval from set of integers ?

For p > q, there is a prefix where p and q are both equal, then there is a position where p has 1 and q has 0. The part after this bit can be anything in both numbers. Eg 11100 > 11011 (28 > 27)

You can just iterate over this position, the function get_range() explains how to do this in the submission I linked.

The next part of the code takes the union of these ranges to get O(log n) disjoint ranges.

MY SUBMISSION Using TRIE

yes but not me and i will not tell u how the submission that i dont want to show u

This was my first contest. I solved 3 problems. YAY!

For problem E: as this example

1 1 1

2 2

1 1 1 1

the first line can change to 1 4

the third line can change to 3 4

the 4th line can change to 1 3 4

but these ars not a tree structure.

how can i understand that "Now that we have some ranges we just need to place one number in each range such that no two numbers have the same value. Because it is a permutation two ranges will either not intersect, or one will contain the other."

Intellegent

Ah sorry, I guess its not really the ranges of places it can reach in one move, and its more like the ranges of places it can reach at all.

If you think about it like this there is still a tree structure because:

first line can reach 1 3 4 (you have to swap 3 and 4 first)

third can reach 3 4

fourth can reach 1 3 4

But yeah that is my bad for poor explanation, I will update the editorial.

so the "range" is not meaning the places which can reach in only one move, it can swap multiple times. the "range" including all places that a line can reach.

Yes, its sort of defined recursively as the union of the ranges of everything it can be swapped with in one move.

how can the first line reach 1, can you pls tell?

Below is an alternative approach that I used in Problem C, my solution uses DP as the main logic

submission : 306363823

Can you explain a bit?

Please note that I have used chatGPT to make my explanation better, I hope that is fine as after writing the explanation I thought it was not that good to understand so I took help of GPT to make it better and it did well IMO.

The choice of which element to pick—and thus which part of the array remains—is inherently sequential. Moreover, the type of move (left or right) determines which segment of the array is still “alive” for future moves. Hence, we must track two distinct “states”:

Right-turn State: The last move was positive, so the remaining part of the array is the suffix.
Left-turn State: The last move was negative, so the remaining part of the array is the prefix.

Dynamic Programming Formulation I define a DP table where:

dp[i][0] is the maximum coins we can obtain by optimally processing the first i+1 elements if the last move was a right-turn (i.e., ended with a positive element).
dp[i][1] is the maximum coins we can obtain by optimally processing the first i+1 elements if the last move was a left-turn (i.e., ended with a negative element).

Transitions: For each subsequent element (from i = 1 to n-1), the idea is to extend the best sequence so far:

If a[i] is positive (right move): You can only “append” a positive move if the previous state was already in a right-turn configuration (since a positive move always discards the left side). Therefore, you update:

dp[i][0] = dp[i-1][0] + a[i];

here note that we can still consider the case that in the last turn we selected the right turn and so by selecting the previous element first and then selecting this we can consider the dp[i-1][0] state also.

2.If a[i] is negative (left move): A negative move can be taken regardless of whether the previous move was a left-turn or a right-turn, since you “cut” from the other end. Hence, you take the best of both states from the previous step and add |a[i]|:

dp[i][1] = max(dp[i-1][0], dp[i-1][1]) + abs(a[i]);

Often, we also carry forward the best values from the previous state if not taking the current element yields a better result. This is why the implementation starts each iteration by copying the previous dp state.

Hope this was helpfull.

Extra explanation for E since I couldn't really upsolve the problem after reading the editorial only:

After making the observation that an arbitrary $$$p_i$$$ and $$$p_j$$$ pair can be swapped if and only if

$$$c_i = c_j$$$
There are no elements of different color($$$\neq c_i$$$) between $$$i$$$ and $$$j$$$ that are larger than $$$min(p_i, p_j)$$$

Instead of leading up to the following observation in the editorial where it claims the 'ranges' forms a non-intersecting(only overlapping) tree structure, which I found quite unintuitive, you can directly come up with a solution in the following manner with DSU and set only(big thanks to the solution code that helped me upsolve this problem by physics0523)

Traverse the permutation in ascending order. We will 'fix' the possible positions of the elements of the permutation in such order.
We will maintain an extra array csz for each elements of the DSU, where it represents the 'remaining slots' within the union that an element can take place in.
Each union will represent a co-swappable group, where it has been naturally verified by previous steps that the current element(let its index be $$$i$$$) being traversed can take place in $$$csz_{find(i)}$$$ parts of the group.
Using the analogy above, we will hypothetically 'fix' the positions of the elements in their respective groups in ascending order. Thus, when traversing through index $$$i$$$, we will multiply our answer by $$$csz_{find(i)}$$$, and reduce $$$csz_{find(i)}$$$ by 1.
After 'fixing' the position of the current element, we will check adjacent groups of the current element if they are of the same color. If so, they can naturally be merged together.
Since we are traversing in ascending order, this situation naturally means that there are no elements inbetween the adjacent groups that are larger than the following candidates that belongs to the adjacent groups in question. Thus, fulfilling our initial observation condition.

You can check both physics0523's solution linked above and my own to better understand it in detail, as there are some small preprocessing details omitted for brevity. Hope this helps someone!

never thought my O(n*log*30) solution would work owo

For Problem F, The solution that I came up with works in O(n) and can be extended to a[i] <= 1e9 and k <= 1e9 with just nlogn.

now coming to the solution, the idea is almost the same as Editorial but we can say,

lets suppose i, j, k is the partition, such that we take element min(i, j) and max(j + 1, k), we can make one more observation here is that if there is a j that satifies query of (i to k) than it lies between (j1, j2) which is single range and no other range, and for each i, k answer pair x, y is unique as well.

instead of counting for pairs i, k lets try to count for each j1 how many ways it can make sum == k. this can be done in O(n) using monotonic stack. solution

SegmentTree EDU Round

CRACKA

For D : i came up with this approaches https://codeforces.net/contest/2064/submission/306578878 , its basically binary search with a bit of recursion and bitmasks , it RTE's on test 6 , it may be because recursion limit exceeded , but i still find this approach really interesting , i will be debugging later tho , i am curious of we can remove the recursion and do the same idea iterative , i will be trying to do that next

ok nvm , i changed to iterative and it TLE-ed , enjoyed coding it tho , learned a lot

thanks for the round

Can any one clear how to solve c like i can not understand n+1 wasys to make sum? How? And how we imoelment it i suffered thsi types of greedy problem where they tell to find max sum or somthibg like this optimal solution, ols give me some advice ragrading this, thanks in advance D:

you can look at my code here to understand https://codeforces.net/contest/2064/submission/306470304

its as simple as it could get

Basically you're gonna have to divide the initial array into two parts. There are n+1 ways to do that. The left part will be able to collect all coins with positive value and the right part will be able to collect all coins with negative value.

there are n ways ig can u clear how n+1 ways

there are n + 1 ways , you can look at the last loop in this code to understand https://codeforces.net/contest/2064/submission/306470304

Upsolving D makes me realize I was 2 steps away from the solution, anyway I'll jot down my understanding key points:

Observation the slime taking on another slime having the same max bit (same MSB) will makes their MSB decreased at least 1 (1 xor 1 = 0). Else if the slime having higher MSB, the current one can't eat the guy. So if you somehow can jump index to the right slime, it's maximum 30 steps.
Calculate Prefix xor array to quickly calculate xor a[i]... a[j] (i <= j). Sharing the same idea as prefix sum (I don't know this is the thing after reading this)
Get an array for the question: "Who is the latest/closest slime as your maker — having msb >= j == msb(a[i])?". The current one of course will update all the bits from [0, j], the rest from(j, 30) will be updated from last state i-1
After you can skip to the right slime to compare, the whole xor from [i, j] can be quickly calculate by prefix xor.

Problem E

"One thing we can notice is that we can swap an arbitrary $$$p_i$$$ and $$$p_j$$$ without changing the final sand layout if and only if every number of different colour between $$$i$$$ and $$$j$$$ is strictly less than both $$$p_i$$$ and $$$p_j$$$."

Why?

In the solution of 2064D — Eating:

In this line: if (nxt == -1 || a[nxt] > x) break;

nxt == -1 || is not needed, since nxt will never be -1.

The dp precomputation for D is great. Learning a lot from it.

Solved E in $$$O(n \log^2(n))$$$ using binary search over segment tree.

As it's said in editorial, the array of colours is unique and equal to $$$c$$$. This means we can swap only the elements with the same colour. Let's traverse the gravity sort picture columns from right to left. If we collapse the column into contiguous array, the transition from current column to next column looks like inserting an element into array. If the element with colour $$$c_i$$$ is inserted in subarray of colour $$$c_i$$$ with length $$$k$$$, we have $$$k+1$$$ choices for actual position of the element. Then it's enough to maintain the array and find the length of subarray the new element is inserted in.

Let's use the segment trees for min-max (to find the segment with same colour) and sum (to count the elements with same colour). When traversing the elements $$$p_i$$$ in decreasing order, perform the min-max update "assign $$$c_i$$$ to position $$$i$$$" and sum update "increase by $$$1$$$ at position $$$i$$$"; then search the adjacent segments with colour $$$c_i$$$ to the left and to the right of $$$i$$$ with binary search (perform the queries on $$$[m; i]$$$ to the left and $$$[i; m]$$$ to the right) and count the elements on both segments to get $$$k$$$.

On each iteration, the $$$O(\log(n))$$$ queries to segment tree are performed, each query takes $$$O(\log(n))$$$ time, then it's $$$O(\log^2(n))$$$ time per element and $$$O(n\log^2(n))$$$ in total.

Implementation: https://codeforces.net/contest/2064/submission/307630435

For me it's more straightforward then the suggested DSU solution, though the complexity is worse.

For problem E solution code, there is the line "int idx = lower_bound(col[i].begin(), col[i].end(), x) — col[i].begin();", but I don't believe col is sorted, so how does this work? Please tell me if I am mistaken.
