Help with my code for problem 230A
By dimriXD, history, 7 years ago, In English

Hello guys!

I am new to codeforces, I stumbled upon 230A problem and my code is here. My basic idea was to create a list of list containing three things first->strength of dragon, second->bonus points, third->flag if this dragon is killed or not. Then I sorted according to bonus points and started incrementing kills if a dragon could be killed based on condition.

Please help if there is a flaw in my logic or I missed something in the code. I shall be really thankful to you. Please help.

    Because Kirito first needs to fight the dragon that has the least strength to gain his strength, and then fight other dragons.

We need to make a pair of vectors and then sort one of them. The other vector would be sorted accordingly. You can see my submission to the problem, it may help. Submission

I am failing test case #6:

2 2
3 5
1 2

"wrong answer 1st words differ — expected: 'YES', found: 'NO'"

Why the expected answer is YES when Kirito's initial strength is smaller that every dragon?

Thanks in advance!

    Kirito's initial strength is 2. This is larger that the second dragon's strength, which is 1. You might want to reread the input format.

My 104218672 is falling in test case 9.

I think it should be YES, but the judge says that it is NO, can someone explain to me why is this NO?

    you should consider case in which dragon's strength is equal to kirito's strength.

    you are doing this s >= item.first, if i am not wrong, I checked your solution, but you have been told that the strength should be greater than the dragon and not greater than or equal to. So instead of s >= you will have to perform just s > item.first
