Codeforces Round #367 (Editorial)
By NBAH, history, 8 years ago, translation, In English

A

We know that time=distance/speed. For each car we should find timei, than if it is less than answer we should update it.

Time Complexity: O(n).

Solution

B

Consider c[x] the number of stores in which the price per drink is x. We calculate this array prefix sum. Then the following options:

1) If the current amount of money m is larger than the size of the array with the prefix sums than answer is n.

2) Otherwise, the answer is c[m].

Time Complexity: O(n+q).

Solution

C

We will solve the problem with the help of dynamic programming. dp[i][j] is the minimum amount of energy that should be spent to make first i strings sorted in lexicographical order and i-th of them will be reversed if j = 1 and not reversed if j = 0. dp[i][j] is updated by dp[i - 1][0] and dp[i - 1][1]. It remains to verify that the i-th string is lexicographically greater than (i - 1)-th (if j = 1 then we should check reversed i-th string, similar to (i - 1)-th). Then we update dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][j], dp[i - 1][0] + c[i] * j), dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][j], dp[i - 1][1] + j * c[i]). The answer is a minimum of dp[n][0] and dp[n][1].

Time Complexity: O(n+sum_length).

Solution

D

Let's store each number in binary system (each number consists of 32 bits, 0 or 1) in such a data structure as trie.The edges will be the bits 1 and 0, and the vertices will be responsible for whether it is possible to pass the current edge. To reply to a query like "? X" will descend the forest of high-order bits to whether the younger and now we can look XOR in the i-th bit to get one, if we can, then move on, otherwise we go to where we can go.

Time Complexity: O(q*log(10^9)).

Solution

E

Let's surround the matrix with the frame of elements. In each element of the matrix, and frame we need to store value, the number of the right element and the number of down element. When a request comes we should change only values of the elements along the perimeter of rectangles.

Time Complexity: O(q*(n+m)).

    This problem is an exercise in Linked Lists: store the matrix as a 2D array of elements each of which has links to its upper, lower, left and right neighbours. To swap two rectangles you only need to consider their borders. Tear the rectangles off from the matrix by erasing the needed links (i.e. erase all upper neighbour links to tear the upper border of a rectangle) and stitch them back in each other's spots. Note that you lose the ability to ask for a cell in (r, c) by a 2D array lookup but should instead start from the upper left corner and walk r down and c right links.

    To avoid null pointers, surround the matrix by a frame of fake cells, as the editorial suggests.

    One thing to note about swapping submatrices is that the actual submatrix "structure" doesnt change, take a look at the following masterpiece (orange is left neighbour, red is right, blue is up, and green is down).

    so say i swap the top left 2x2 submatrix(1,2,5,6) with bottom right 2x2 submatrix(11,12,15,16). the INTERNAL arrows never change, because the actual submatrices still have the same elements. However, the perimeter arrows change, because we now have new neighbours due to swapping matrices. In order to fix the structure, all we have to do is swap the corresponding perimeter arrows, so for example 15 green arrow will point at 9, 12 red arrow will point at 3 etc.

    hope that helps!

        Check your nested for loops, some of them are for looping n then n, rather than n then m (which explains why you get WA on that testcase, because its the first one where n<m, so some ids arent assigned).

    i am not sure but maybe this is the reason :

    you are right about O(q*logMax) but here you have a constant like 2*5=10. 2 because of creating both nodes at each step not just one. 5 because of struct size (pointer size is 32 bit).

Isn't complexity of D just O(q)? That log factor is constant.

Btw, u can solve D without any data stucture, finding bits from most significant one with lowerbound on set. The main idea is the same, but u don't have to know trie. Here's my code — 19807490, complexity is O(q*log(q)).

      Ok, look. First of all we have l = 0, r = maximal value of unsigned int. y = bitwise negation of x — best-case scenario for xor, our reference point. We look over bits of y from 31th to 0th.

      If pth bit is set (y & (1<<p)), we'd like to set that bit in our answer. We can use lowerbound to find out if set contains at least one number in range [l+(1<<p), r]. It can't be less than l+1(<<p) or greater than r, because we have to satisfy assumptions about more significant bits we've made before (l, r), and also we want pth bit to be set (1<<p). If we satisfy that condiotion, then [l, r] becomes [l+(1<<p), r], otherwise it becomes [l, r-(1<<p)].

      If pth bit of y is not set, we don't want to set it in our answer. We use lowerbound to check if set contains some elements in range [l, r-(1<<p)]. If it does, we set r to r-(1<<p), otherwise l becomes l+(1<<p).

      After loop we have l = r, and we output this number xor x.

i have problem with time complexity analysis of problem C. let us do worst time complexity analysis. for each case say we have to reverse . reverse function has linear time complexity and for each case we are reversing hence time complexity should be O(n^2) or 10^5 * 10^5 = 10^10.i think then this algorithm should get time limit exceeded verdict in test case where reverse permutation of a string of length close to 10^5 is used.

      Yeah: the reverses and comparisons will alltogether be O(n), or amortized O(1).

      Also imagine that your worst case was possible, it would mean that each string has 10^5 characters, which means you couldn't even input the input without getting TLE.

I have a solution for problem C that does not need DP 19812078:

It basically "tries" both the string and its reverse against all possible previous choices.

class Choice(String s, Long cost)

choices := List.of(new Choice("", 0))

for (cost <- costs) {
  s := readInput()
  r := s.reverse()
  current := List.of(new Choice(s, 0), new Choice(r, cost))
  next := new Map<String, Long>() withDefault Long.MAX

  for(c1 <- choices) {
    for(c2 <- current) {
      if (c1.s.isEmpty || c1.s <= c2.s) {
        next[c2.s] = min(next[c2.s], c1.cost + c2.cost)
      }
    }
  }
  choices = next.map((k, v) => new Choice(k, v))
}

if (choices.isEmpty) print(-1) else print(choices.values.min)

          Brute force would be if you also went all the way back to the first string when trying an option for the current one. Using the fact that the previous string is enough (and storing the corresponding scores) makes it DP :))

Hi, last night I misunderstood the problem C:

  • they said "total length of the strings <= 100 000"

  • but I thought "length of each string <= 100 000"

So I came up with the idea "how to compare 2 strings only in O(log(length(string)), and we also don't have to reverse it in O(length)", based on binary search. Thus, the general complexity is O(qlog(length))

So I wrote a "compare(string s1, string s2, int type)" function:

  • type = 1: compare non-reverse s1 and non-reverse s2

  • type = 2: compare non-reverse s1 and reverse s2

  • type = 3: compare reverse s1 and non-reverse s2

  • type = 4: compare reverse s1 and reverse s2

Then I submitted and got WA, so I hope somebody could take a look at my submission and point out what I was wrong. I'm sure I got wrong in my "compare" function because when I use standard "compare" and "reverse" functions of C++, I got AC ( of course the complexity now is O(length) ).

Ty in advance.

My submission: 19808155

    Binary searching like this is wrong, because comparing the middle of two strings doesn't tell you anything about the characters before it or after it. You should compare entire prefixes of the strings, and to do so efficiently you'd need hashing, but that means that before the binary search you'd already do O(length) operations for the hashing.

    dp isn't brute force. You update dp[i][0] and dp[i][1] in O(s[i].length). So total complexity is O(sumLength).

    The point of dp is to memorize previous choices that won't be affected by later choices, so that we could save the time for computing the previous choices again when we proceed to later choices.

    In problem C the states store the value of previous computed strings, since it is guaranteed that it all the previous strings have been ordered in lexicographical order (or just set the value to INF if it is impossible to do so), you only have to compare the latest string to the reversed or the original string to check the minimum costs of following the lexicographical order.

    For problem D I can't find your submission so I don't know what exactly got you, but I suppose that you have completely no idea of what the editorial is doing.

    The solution is to build a tree/trie, that stores integers in binary form (eg: 5=101(2), 7=111(2) ). You have to maintain the amount of values in the subtree in order to answer the value.

    If you don't know about Trie, or even some other tree structures like BIT(fenwick tree), read them before solving this problem, or else you will have absolutely no idea what I am explaining.

    After building the trie of the multiset, you have to check 1. if there is an edge to the left child(0) and the right child(1), and if the left/right child is empty (cnt==0). Make the optimal steps upon visiting each nodes, and sum up the values of xor for the query results.

I'm still learning DP, so confused about problem C.

We both know if we want apply DP to some problem, the problem must meet several conditions.One is that it must have optimal sub-structure. One is that the sub-problem has non-aftereffect property.

So here is my question, if we already solve the first i query, but the i+1 th string is smaller than the i th but the cost c[i+1] is too big, then we should not reverse the i+1 th but modify the first i string, how's that meet the optimal sub-structrue and non-aftereffect property? Because the i+1 th string has a big influence on the answer we've already calculated before.

I don't know where I get wrong, thanks for your help.(sorry for poor English

    I have never implemented this but I think this may work.

    1) Keep two vectors of coordinates of the perimeter, ordered corresponding to their position.

    2) When swapping, check if the block next to the swap is occupied by another block. If no, just do the operation required for E. If yes, check for the corresponding position in the original block, and link it to it.

    Keeping the difference in position of the blocks should help speed up the look-up process to O(1), so the whole algorithm should work in O(n).

    This is not applicable for overlapped blocks though.

For the 1-dimensional version of Problem E, is there a solution with faster than linear time swaps?

So in the 1-dimensional version, instead of swapping rectangles in a matrix we're swapping ranges in an array: each task is (a, c, w) and we want to swap the values in [a, a + w) with the values in [c, c + w).

And with n items and q swap queries, we want an O(q * logn + n) algorithm, or just anything faster than O(qn).

With the linked list solution in the post (which is super cool to me!), in the 1-d case it takes O(n) to find the rectangles, even though it's an O(1) swap after finding

I was trying to do something with a binary search tree: each range corresponds to <= logn nodes in the tree, so maybe you could swap ranges by swapping only those logn nodes somehow, and their sub-trees would automatically come with them.

The problem is that the ranges don't "line up": I somehow managed to convinced myself this wasn't really a problem, but I was totally off, and it is a serious issue, as far as I can tell.

Anyway, yeah, is there a quicker solution to the range-swapping problem? I.e. like an O(n) size data structure on n items which supports fast range swaps?

EDIT: answer to question = yes treap

weaker guarantees than with treap i'd guess, but i think a skip-list would work too with high probability. You can find ranges quickly and then edit O(# lists) = O(log N) pointers.

    Treap makes swaps in O(logN)

      EDIT: I'm not sure if what I said below really even makes sense actually; I'll think about this for a bit/try to understand treaps better.

      EDIT2: Okay I sort of get how the treap might work, although I'm still not sure how it'll necessarily stay balanced after lots of swaps (with high probability I guess? or it happens only after many swaps, so you can amortize any rebalances if they're needed or something).

      Thanks a lot for the response! I didn't know about treaps, they're really cool!

      But I don't see how a treap would do it though. This is how I imagine a treap approach would go:

      You construct a treap on [0, n), say as a balanced BST (and then assign the corresponding priorities).

      And then on a query (a, b, w) with a < b, you split the treap into 5 smaller treaps, t1=[0, a), t2=[a, a+w), t3=[a+w, b), t4=[b, b+w) and t5=[b+w, n)

      Then we merge them back together in the order t1, t4, t3, t2, t5.

      Splits and merges are fast, so this should be fast..

      But: naively, in order for the treaps to be merged correctly, you'd need to update the priorities of every node in t4 & t2, which would take linear time.

      Maybe there's a way to store these updates to the priorities in a more succinct/clever way, but I don't see it. (of course I might be missing something!)

Hello everyone!

Can you help me why I get TLE for Problem D? Here is my submission : http://www.codeforces.com/contest/706/submission/20083814 I used binary search between lo and hi, which are iterators that contains maximum values. But it got TLE on test#2. I think it's because of case when lo > hi, but I can't find out when.

Thanks in advance

    std :: lower_bound works in linear time for multiset\set so use s.lower_bound(x).

Hello Everyone, For the Problem C, I was getting Wrong Answer on test case 18 when I was setting dp[i][0] and dp[i-1][1] to LONG_MAX but when I set it to (1LL<<62) then I was getting Accepted verdict. But (1LL<<62) is less than LONG_MAX. Can anyone explain me the reason for it. Thank You in Advance. WA with LONG_MAX https://codeforces.net/contest/706/submission/48478924 AC with (1LL<<62) https://codeforces.net/contest/706/submission/48479243

Update: I found out that on my system LONG_MAX is 2^63-1 and is equal to LONG_LONG_MAX but on online judge it is different and LONG_MAX is 2^32-1

For question D:https://codeforces.net/contest/706/problem/D

Can someone explain logic behind this submission https://codeforces.net/contest/706/submission/19826426 ? It seems extremely simplistic and doesn't seem to use tries.
