E is easy if you know a thing or two about polynomials (namely, that the remainder when dividing f(x) by x - k is f(k)).

However, I didn't find any non-annoying ways to check whether f(x) is divisible by x - k if all the coefficients are already known...

→ Reply

You can calculate it modulo a couple of random numbers or primes. That will nearly always work.

I don't know if there is a nice way to do it without randomisation though.

→ Reply

nitegazer

9 years ago, # ^ |

To check if f(k) = 0, note that f(k) = a0 (mod k). So a0 must be a multiple of k or f(k) cannot equal 0. So you can add a0/k to a1. Call this a1'. But then the new a1' must be a multiple of k or f(k) cannot equal 0. So now you can add a1'/k to a2.. and so on.

If a_i is not a multiple of k, the algorithm terminates. You only divide a_i by k if a_i mod k is 0.

Create 2D array for your glasses, put T * CONST (e.g. 2048) water in first one.

Iterate from top to bottom, layer by layer. For each glass substract all water that left (higher than your const), split it by 2 and add to two glasses on the bottom layer.

Count how many glasses have >= const water in it. O(N).

We use CONST to avoid of float computations. It should be power of 2, enough to fill all levels.

Take the Case when we want every element of the subarray to be equal to a . (For other case just change all a to b and b to a and run the same algorithm again).
Now consider a to be 0 and b to be 1.
We want to select the longest subarray with sum ≤ K .
So we take a right pointer and move it from 1 to N .
We also maintain a left pointer denoting the left endpoint of the longest subarray ending here. When sum exceeds K , we move the left pointer 1 step ahead.
So now we have longest subarray with sum ≤ K ending at every index.

Other than my reply to your other comment, one more option is to observe that if the absolute value of the partial sum becomes greater than some small value (roughly 10^4 / k-1 or 10^4*n if k is 1) then it's impossible for it to come back to zero. So you can just terminate if that happens, and otherwise proceed as normal, so you'll never get overflow.

Well, if you are experienced enough, there's nothing to struggle with:

30 lines of switch-case to rotate a symbol clockwise 20 lines of creating edges to adjacent cells given a symbol 40 lines of bfs + misc to read/write

In problem E, if you use fixed modulus then you can get hacked. For example, if you use 10⁹ + 7 and 10⁹ + 9 as modulus, write (10⁹ + 7) × (10⁹ + 9) = 1000000016000000063 in base-10000 number system so we get "4 10000\n63\n0\n160\n0\n100" as a hack case.

	int res = inf;
	for(auto it: D[xm][ym]) res = min(res, it);

	if(res < inf) printf("%dn", res);
	else printf("-1n");
}

I know, the implementation is pretty messed up, but I did comment a little bit if that helps

Your recursive Fill function does not exit early enough, it continues "pouring" water past the n-th level. Change if (i>9 || j>i) return; to if (i>=n || j>i) return; . Then it passes all tests: 18093994

About D: You know what "X" and "Y" usually mean on a 2D grid? You have some idea, right? I can not imagine why the problem statement for D was written with the exact OPPOSITE meaning for those letters. Got WA for this, upsolved after swapping X and Y when reading input. Is Codeforces supposed to be a reading competition?

I agree, a painful mistake. For me it has always been misleading — we store 2D maps and grids as arrays of rows, so if you want to access column X and row Y, you should call Array[Y][X] <-- counterintuitive, isn't it?

What works for me: just change your perception and think of X as of the first coordinate and of Y as of the second one — then array item access becomes logical — and meets the problem author's expectations.

In my memory in the majority of tasks which has x,y in GRID in statement it is alwasy that X — row, Y — column.

Problem C is a bit more sophisticated version of 645C - Enduring Exodus. Same idea, but instead of finding the minimum, you ought to find two maxima and compare them. There is also a possibility of k being 0 in today's one (many solutions got hacked/WA'd because of that).

It's exactly the same as C from EDU11 that happened less than two months ago.

Why there are no precision errors for problem B with solutions based on double data type?

For example in my room, 18074368 solution.

Sorry for my poor English.

All the numbers are dyadic rationals, which can be represented exactly by doubles.

Wow, next contest is also Div.2 Only. And it's only after a whole week.

I find no reason for a Div 2 only round. It simply encourages more fake accounts.

→ Reply

Here's a reason: It takes more time to prepare a Div 1 round.
