Hi. I was working on a DP problem (SPOJ MFISH) but I couldn't understand how the DP works. I've seen a few codes online but couldn't comprehend them either. Could someone explain it to me?

Consider the ships sorted by their anchor index. For every ship you can find a range of indexes where it can start. Just try every possible placement for each ship. The complexity is O(n) because you visit every index at most twice.
P.S.: Thanks to SPOJ, I just found out that there is a programming language called "chicken" :D
OK, got AC. I was using the end location of ships to do my DP, but I think I calculated them wrong. Thanks!
