Hi, I was solving problem "20C — Dijkstra?". At first, I implemented through priority_queue. I got verdict "memory limit exceeded on test 31". I then realised that, if a single node relaxed more than once, priority_queue enqueue the node more than once. This may be the cause of memory limit exceed.
Then I have designed another algorithm with c++ std::set. I kept all the pair of cost and node number in that set. Then whenever a node to be relaxed, I firstly erase that node from the set, then update the node cost and insert to the set again. I believe this algorithm needs O(n) memory. Because there at most n pairs in the set. But I got verdict "memory limit exceeded on test 31" again. I don't know how it takes more memory or which test cases make it inefficient.
My implementation: http://ideone.com/2vNqOS
This is my first post. Thanks in advance. :)
I think it is a compiler bug, I change the int to long long int for cost, and not type cast it, and it got AC.
See 24563357 for info
Thanks to Zun, I have found my fault. I wrote "int cost=pq.begin()->first;", where cost overflowed and became a negative value. That makes my Dijkstra function wrong.
right, it is not a compiler bug. but i am confused. How did your this 24561391 AC?
Try to replace int by long long int. It worked for me. I too implemented dijkstra from set method but it too gave me MLE :_)(I was taking int in both of them) . Just use long long int..both implementation (priority queue and set) will get accepted.
Thanks :) (This was my first comment ever on CF)
Bruh, just imagine getting a reply to a question after 4 years...
