why did this code accepted for Problem A?

cin>>n>>m; int a=pow(2,n); cout<<m%a<<endl;

Dinash

При n==1000000 ,выражение станет больше чем unsigned long long;

why this solution worked? cin>>n>>m; int a=pow(2,n); cout<<m%a<<endl; what about overflow?!

Coroian_David

a will be -2147483648, but in the way C++ works with negative modulo it will work...

yassin_

← Rev. 2 →

a could be any value, couldn't it? Depending on n. It's unlikely to be <= 10^8, but possible or not?

← Rev. 3 →

It varies depending on the PC architecture (32 or 64 bits), compiler and operating system, in my PC and in Codeforces custom invocation it has that value. For every n >= 31 it has the same value.

Arturoku

Even though it overflows the % operation is unsigned so the number remains big enough to work properly.

in c++ when a large double number ( larger than the receiver type ) is put into smaller receiver it automatically casts it to the largest possible number to be put in the receiver in this case INT_MAX so when a number is calculated % INT_MAX it will always give the number

Can you give a source for this information?

-7

you can try it write down cout << (int)1e12 and write down cout << INT_MAX see the results of the two operations .

That is no proof, could be undefined behavior

it could be undefined behavior but if it's the case then it should change from one platform to another it produces the result as I said in Clion, codeforces platform and these other online IDEs

https://www.ideone.com/A37CME

https://onlinegdb.com/Sy1f-DfNz

http://cpp.sh/5frra

http://tpcg.io/bnedib

you can check it

First of all, it depends on the compiler, not the IDE. Then also it might change on a different platform, but it doesn't have to.

edit: I also found this, which says it's undefined behavior: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/526070/handling-overflow-when-casting-doubles-to-integers-in-c

if it's the same on different platforms , then how could it be undefined ? also is all these IDEs use the same compiler ?

yes it's indeed undefined in the older versions you can try it in c++98 or c++11 it won't be like that

kwangg

undefined means that it's not specified in the C++ standard what to do for that scenario. Maybe all compilers implement the same solution, maybe some do it differently from others.

mouse_wireless

The standard specifications mention it is indeed undefined behavior (read here). In practice, modern compilers do indeed cast large float numbers to the maximal value acceptable, when cast to an integral type.

I used a greedy solution for question C .First I found out the bottle which has least value of cost per litre .Then I used a formula to give maximum possible number of bottles of this category(i.e. L/(volume of bottle of the category). Then i brute forced my solution ( i bought the best possible bottle at the moment by using a formula and then subtracted the volume from L, then repeat and repeat till L becomes <= 0 ). However, my solution failed on test case 14 of system testing. Here is my solution link My solution Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

Shudi

I used quite similar greedy approach for problem C with one little modification and I got AC. Maybe someone will find it interesting. Firstly, let's sort the bottles by the cost per litre. Let's start from the cheapest of them going to the most expensive. Lets denote the size of the bottle i as V[i]. We have two different cases:

V[i] <= L. Here we have the best price because we going down from the cheapest bottle and we will buy all the V[i] litres. Then we can add to the answer this price and multiply that by the number of times. Of course we should subtract this V[i] multiplied by the number of times from the L. Then we can buy one more bottle with this size and it will be more litres than we need, but maybe it has the cheapest price and it will be the best variant? Otherwise, we can continue going down to the more expensive bottles per litre, but we will not buy the extra litres as it was before. We need just to update our realAns as you can see it in the code below:

if(a[i].V <= L) {
    ll times = (L / a[i].V);
    ans += times * a[i].cost;
    L -= a[i].V * times;
    realAns = min(realAns, ans + a[i].cost);
}

V[i] > L. We can buy this bottle and it will be our ans. Here we go:

realAns = min(realAns, ans + a[i].cost);

This solution seems nice to me. Here the it is 34026125 . Feel free to ask questions if something is not clear for you.

Nice solution! Can you explain how you got the intuition to sort by cost per unit volume?

Sure. I just thought about the greedy solution and then it was obviously, because the main idea in greedy is to buy the cheapest bottle.

Great set of problems.I liked the 3rd one most.Credits goes to @tourist, my man. Thumbs up for all the problem setters too.

Is there different kind of solution for problem C?

Ancient_Kid

Here, 34034532 .

Same logic but a bit different implementation. :)

The solution I wrote only passes through the bits of L once, going from least-significant to most-significant. 34027236

If, at any time, buying bottle i would be better than the entirety of the sum we've already calculated, then replace the sum with the cost for bottle i.

Misread problem D. How to solve the problem optimally when k >= a _{p_j} instead of k ≤ a_{p_j} in problem D?

Guty

I think that the beauty of problem D comes when you think of it geometrically. Imagine that you have a point in the plane with coordinates $\text{[math]}$ .

Then, for a fixed k, they are asking you a question about the points in a semiplane that lies to the right of the vertical line x = k, including the line (this is in the original statement with k ≥ a_{p_j}, it lies to the left of that line if we choose k ≤ a_{p_j}).

With this in mind, I think that both problems look more like a "Sweep Line" kind of task, doesn't it? (this is how I approached problem D during the contest, and why I believe that solution 2 in the editorial is more natural, although this last part is clearly subjective)

← Rev. 4 →

"it lies to the left of that line if we choose ....", not exactly. When we count problems in score such that k >= a_{p_j}, we can choose problems on either side of the line. The points for which k >= a_{p_j} are added to the score, however, we can choose points on other side of the line which don't satisfy this condition which will increase value of k (not increasing the score though), however this also moves the line and we can add new points with lesser ti such that k >= a_{p_z} increases and we can replace few points.

Basically, when k >= a_{p_k}, the final points/score will not always be equal to the number of problems we choose.

ABalobanov

I misread it too and used the following idea. Let's sort our arrays in non-descending order of a_i. Run a binary search on the value of x result points, and then say that the total amount of solved problems should be at least a_i. Then for any j < = i j-th element can give us a point if we will take it and we will suppose now that all the elements right to the i-th will not give us a point(if they actually will we'll consider it later). So we should take x elements from the i - th prefix with minimum total time, and then we should take a_i - x elements from all the array with minimum total time(except the taken ones). It also can be noticed(but it is not neccesary) that this check procedure for a given x is to find out whether there exists such i that the sum of minimum x elements from the i-th prefix plus sum of minimum a_i - x elements from the i + 1-th suffix is no more than T. It can be implemented with two segment trees(for prefix and suffix elements) (where trees are build on the array sorted by the time now and making a transition from i to i + 1 we do some changes, and find the sum of some first values).

Can someone find out why this code for D.Too Easy Problems (based on binary search) get runtime error? http://codeforces.net/contest/913/submission/34026112 Thanks in advance.

JustLive

http://codeforces.net/contest/913/submission/34035369

In your cmp function change <= to <

How can it cause runtime error? Is it about implementation of std::sort? Thank you for finding error :D

The reason is cmp(a, b) should return true only when a is strictly less than b (a < b). It should return false when elements are equal (a == b). If you use <= then for case a == b it will return true for both cmp(a, b) and cmp(b, a). For complier it means a < b and b < a at the same time so you will probably end up in indefinite loop.

Its my first time seeing an Integral being applied in competitive programming (in problem H)! :3

There is this very interesting problem that uses integrals (now that I read H from this contest, the problems are somewhat similar).

EDIT: ok, maybe not that similar since in the problem I pointed out you could calculate the integral with general algorithms such as Riemann integration or Simpson's rule, whereas here you have to mathematically compute the integral since you need an exact answer.

Solution to C using Binary Search: http://codeforces.net/contest/913/submission/34035650

Ewwa

Can you explain your approach? Thanks!

Maintain a vector for the lemonade types and sort it according to the cost per liter(c[i]/(2^(i-1)). This sorts the lemonades according to the most optimal types of lemonade (cheapest lemonade) by normalizing the quantity to 1 liter. Thus we can greedily say that, if we buy lemonades in this sorted order, we can obtain maximum liters of lemonade from a given amount of money.

Therefore, now we can use binary search to fix the amount of money we have, and then see if it is possible to obtain atleast L liters of lemonade by traversing in this sorted order and taking as many no. of lemonades of each type as possible.

Hence, amount of money used can be easily minimized.

what about this case? are you sure your code passes this case? UPD: Got it. I was wrong.

ok. I checked this case against LGM's code. Your code gives similar to them. But how its 33? shouldn't it be 34?

Buy 3 one liter bottles, cost=3*5=15 Buy 1 four liter bottle, cost=18

Net cost=15+18=33 to buy 7 liters of lemonade

Nice approach, I had the same idea but was not sure how to use binary search.

In problem C purpose of doing the following is? L -= need << i;

you are taking "need" number of bottles of 2^i size. "need << i" is basically "need * (2^i)"

Пытался решить задачу E (Логическое выражение) поиском в ширину (или даже больше на Левита похоже):

1) создаем массив string-ов formulas длинны 256, где по "вектору значений" функции будем хранить функцию ответ на задачу

2) существует всего 3 функции длинны 1 ("x", "y", "z"), добавляем их в очередь

3) пока очередь не пуста:
* вычисляем val — значение текущей функции на всех возможных аргументах
* если для formulas[val] еще не вычислен или мы нашли более удачную функцию, то обновляем значение в массиве и пытаемся "расширить"/"дописать" данную функцию, для нахожения остальных формул

формулу f я расширял по следующим правилам: !f, f&x, f&y, f&z, f|x, f|y, f|z, !(f), f&!x, f&!y, f&!z, f|!x, f|!y, f|!z, (f)&x, (f)&y, (f)&z, (f)|x, (f)|y, (f)|z, (f)&!x, (f)&!y, (f)&!z, (f)|!x, (f)|!y, (f)|!z

таким образом мне удалось найти только 218 функций.

видит кто-нибудь ошибку? или просто я побрел не в ту степь?:)

Kostroma

Надо расширять до f & g и f | g для всех пар функций f и g, найденных к текущему моменту — тогда решение заработает.

спасибо, я так тоже сделал, тогда находятся все функции, но не обязательно оптимальные по длинне / лексикографическому порядку

ZaakDov

for problem G,the tutorial says "In this problem n ≤ 11. m = 6 is enough for such n",why 6 is enough?

m = 6 is enough because if n ≤ 11 then 10^m ≥ 2·2^n + m.

Let x = a·10^m. If x is not divisible by 2^n + m, we add $\text{[math]}$ to x. After that if x is divisible by 5 we add 2^n + m to x.

After such transformations x is divisible by 2^n + m, x is not divisible by 5 and x ≤ a·10^m + 2^n + m - 1 + 2^n + m. We know that 10^m ≥ 2·2^n + m. Therefore b = x - a·10^m < 10^m. That's exactly what we want.

thank you! I didn't understand clearly why "10^m ≥ 2·2^(n + m)" <=> "there exists k satisfying equation (1) and (2)" earlier, and after read your tutorial more carefully, I got that "Consider equation . Every number in the equation is divisible by 2^(n + m), lets divide all the numbers by this. The result is — equation (3) where . Use the following lemma: Lemma For every positive integer t number 2 is primitive root modulo 5^t." shows why "10^m ≥ 2·2^(n + m)"<=>"there exists k satisfying equation (1) and (2)", and we just need to find any k under these assumes. In this way the range of an available m can be determined, very nice problem!

when 10^m>=2^(n+m+1), then b can choose from [0,10^m-1], since 2^(n+m)-1<2^(n+m+1)-1<=10^m-1, so the values of b can cover [0,2^(n+m)-1], thus there exists some b satisfying ai*10^m+b=0(mod 2^(n+m)) and let x=ai*10^m+b, so x/2^(n+m)=2^(k-n-m)(mod 5^(n+m)), since 2 is a primitive root of 5^(n+m), so there exists t in range[0,4*5^(n+m-1)) satisfying 2^t=x/2^(n+m)(mod 5^(n+m)), then let k=n+m+t>=n+m, this k is the answer to the problem

a way to prove 2 is primitive root of 5^k (k>=1) using induction: assuming (I) 2 is primitive root of 5^k, and (II) 2^phi(5^k)≠1(mod 5^(k+1)) first, about (II) 2^phi(5^(k+1))-1=2^5phi(5^k)-1= (2^phi(5^k)-1)*(2^4phi(5^k)+2^3phi(5^k)+2^2phi(5^k)+2^phi(5^k)+1) since 2^phi(5^k)=1(mod5^k) (using euler's theorem) and 2^phi(5^k)≠1(mod5^(k+1)) (by assuming),therefore gcd(5^(k+2),2^phi(5^k)-1)=5^k if 5^(k+2)|2^phi(5^(k+1))-1 then there must be 5^2|2^4phi(5^k)+2^3phi(5^k)+2^2phi(5^k)+2^phi(5^k)+1 but 2^phi(5^2)=1(mod 25), thus 2^(sphi(5^k))=(2^phi(5^2))^(s*5^(k-2))=1(mod 25) so 2^4phi(5^k)+2^3phi(5^k)+2^2phi(5^k)+2^phi(5^k)+1=5(mod25) so 2^phi(5^(k+1))≠1(mod 5^(k+2))

then about (I) for t in range [0,phi(5^(k+1))), 2^t=1(mod5^(k+1))=>2^t=1(mod5^k)=>phi(5^k)|t let t=phi(5^k)*s, since 0<=t=phi(5^k)*s<phi(5^(k+1)) so 0<=s<5, consider 2^t-1=(2^phi(5^k)-1)(2^(s-1)phi(5^k)+2^(s-2)phi(5^k)+....+1) so 5^(k+1)|2^t-1 <=> 5|2^(s-1)phi(5^k)+2^(s-2)phi(5^k)+....+1 since 2^phi(5^k)=(2^4)^(5^(k-1))=1(mod5) so 2^sphi(5^k)=(2^phi(5^k))^s=1(mod5) so 2^(s-1)phi(5^k)+2^(s-2)phi(5^k)+....+1=s(mod5) thus 5|s and 0<=s<5 => s=0 thus for t in range [0,phi(5^(k+1))),2^t=1(mod5^(k+1))=>t=0, implying that 2 is primitive root of 5^(k+1)

somewhat tedious

for problem 913D- Too Easy Problems

"The first observation is that if we solve a problem which doesn't bring us any points, we could as well ignore it and that won't make our result worse. Therefore, there exists an answer in which all problems bring us points. Let's consider only such answers from now on."

I don't think this is true,

Test Case

We solve 1,2,3 to make 1 points, Problems 1,2 don't bring us points but help increase the number of problems solved thus helping us solve problem 3 to earn 1 point.

Please let me know if I am stupid and have got it all wrong

Caring_is_a_disadvantage

What he meant is, there exists an answer where all problems ATTEMPTED brings us points.

Why my solution failed on the 18th test case. On my machine, it's giving the right output. Why so?

34011797

I'm guessing it's floating-point precision errors. Probably the calculation of log_2(m) is not exact when you do log_10(m)/log_10(2) as floating-point numbers, so the comparison against n may be wrong.

But in this test case log_2(m) is giving 25 . Hence if the condition would fail in this case and the output would be m%pow(2,n) would give 0 . Where is the mistake here ?

25 33554432

yes, but you're storing all of these as floating-point numbers. Thus, the actual representation may not be exact, and doing equality comparisons or comparisons when the values should be equal to each other may be wrong. This might be why it failed on that test case.

It may also be some weird C++ memory thing. I also discovered that if you change both variables to float (instead of one double and one float), then it passes all testcases. See the modified submission: 34077845

Alright,thanx that's ohkay . But what if I typecast log_2(m) to long long and then compare m and log_2(m)

In that case also its not working . why so ?

probably because long long is an integer type. log_2(m) might not be an integer.

GyojunYoun

I have a question about the problem F.

When we compute cp(s, i), if we think that we add a new player with the largest index, then the following equation holds: cp(s, i) = cp(s - 1, i) × (1 - p)ⁱ + cp(s - 1, i - 1) × p^s - i.

But I thought that I add a new player with the smallest index. The equation below is what I made.

cp(s, i) = cp(s - 1, i) × pⁱ + cp(s - 1, i - 1) × (1 - p)^s - i

I cannot find why I was wrong... I've spent almost two days in order to solve this problem...

Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?

I explain about my equation.

I'm going to add a new player whose index is the smallest. There have already been s - 1 players. After adding a new player, the number of players should be s.

The first term, cp(s - 1, i) × pⁱ, describe the case when a new player is not in the set of i players who lose to the others. The 'new added player' must win all the i players who are in the set. Thus, the probability is pⁱ.

The second term, cp(s - 1, i - 1) × (1 - p)^s - i, describes the case when a new player is in the set. The 'new added player' must lose to all the s - i players who are not in the set. Thus, the probability is (1 - p)^s - i.

Would you tell me what is wrong?? Why should I add a largest-index-player like the official solution?

This way of computation of cp(s, i) is correct too. Maybe you have a mistake in other part of solution.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help.

In Solution of 913C ,in the following line

// ans = min(ans, sum + (L > 0) * c[i]); //

what is significance of (L>0) ????

drunk_philosopher

Remember that after you alter the domain as a[i] = min(2*a[i-1], a[i]), it makes sense to buy ith bottle as opposed to two i-1 bottles. So if L > 0, it means there is volume left, and it makes no sense to retain the bottles you picked previously, so get that extra ith bottle. As explained in editorial, if you set left most bit to 1, all the right side bits can be set to zero as the answer will still be maximum.

No , I'm talking about code of solution.

L = 0, (L > 0) equals to 0 (false)

L = 1, (L > 0) equals to 1 (true)
