**O(n)** solution for problem **E**:
  • For every index i, we can maintain two links, one for its left, l[i], and another for its right, r[i], pointing to the first yet undecided student on either sides.
  • When we assign a sub-array to a particular team, m, update only the right link of left of leftmost cell, and the left link of right of rightmost cell, provided these cells are not out of bound.
  • In this manner, we iterate over every index at most two times.

E can be solved using Linked List if O(n). you just need to implement the operations. since every student will be chosen exactly once so the time complexity is O(n). code: 52920413

      If you use a non-comparing sort algorithm. It could be done in linear time.

        I don't know of any non-comparison sort algorithm that works in O(n)time. The best I know of is works in O($$$n\sqrt {log(log(n)}$$$). Can you tell one that works in linear time.

          build a Linked List and every time you are removing a student remove him and his k left and his k right students from the Linked List.

            But finding the max in remaining list will take O(n). so it will be O(n*n) solution.

              You don't need to find that and nor need to sort it. Since all students are between 1 to N and occur exactly once just create an array to point out their location in the linked list.Whenever you remove a student just clear this pointer.Keep a pointer to last maximum player used and decrement this until a player which exists in the linked list!

    Honestly for the first time I saw the use of linked list making a solution optimal. Very good approach

Such a fine editorial !

My approach to problem G :

let G = gcd(A,B)
so we can write
A = GR
B = GS
Now, lcm(A,B) = AB/gcd(A,B) = AB/G = GRS
We need to minimize GRS Here G is common factors between two numbers
R is uncommon factors in number A
S is uncommon factors in number B

So we iterate on G (which will be <= 10^7) and for each G we store smallest two multiples of G which are present in our array. Say those multiples are A,B.
Now G(A/G)(B/G) (lets denote it with Z) is our best possible answer with G as gcd.

We find minimum value of Z for all the possible values of G and print corresponding indices as required.

NOTE
The declaration of A = GR and B = GS requires R and S to be coprime (gcd(R,S) = 1).
While finding Z for G , We may have gcd(A,B) > G but it will always be multiple of G (think why). Thus gcd(R,S) = k
Now gcd(A,B) = kG. Even if answer Z stored for G will be G(A/G)(B/G) = Gk2RS ,
when calculation answer Z for kG (G') as gcd we will get Z as G'(A/G')(B/G') = kGRS which is actual answer.

in problem c: why we take the modules day:=(day+1)%7 ?

  • »

    6 лет назад, # ^ |
      Проголосовать: нравится 0 Проголосовать: не нравится

    That because we want the index of the current day If you just increase it, day will be bigger than the last index of the vector (last index =6) so you want the day to go to the first element after the last one, so you put day%7 Let's say that the day =6 and there is nothing after 6 and you want it to go back to first element, day=(6+1)%7 = 0, and you are again on the index 0 Actually you also can do it like this : If day == 7: day = 0 :))

the problem G. As far as I know, $$$\sum_{i \le x}d(i) = O(x \log x)$$$, where $$$d(i)$$$ is the number of divisors of n. So time complexity is equal $$$O(a \log a)$$$, maybe it is equal $$$O(n \log a + a)$$$. Can you point me other $$$O(a \log a)$$$ simple solution?

In problem D, in the second example 6 2 1 1 0 0 1 0 1

How is the answer 3? It should be 5 right? Because we can use a battery in first segment so battery decreases by one and accumulator increases by one ==> b=1 , a=2. For the next 2 segments we use 2 accumulators ==> b=1,a=0. The for the fourth segment we use a battery ==> b=0,a=1.For the fifth we use the accumulator!

Can anybody explain how the answer is 3?

    It is mentioned in the question that charge of accumulator cannot exceed it's maximum capacity. "If the current segment is exposed to sunlight and the robot goes through it using the battery, the charge of the accumulator increases by one (of course, its charge can't become higher than it's maximum capacity)."
    So when we make first move using battery the charge of accumulator wont increment to 2 as it is already at it's maximum capacity (1).

Because it was said about optimization, I would like to give some. First, the provided code find all divisors any number $$$a$$$ in not $$$O(d(a))$$$, because to find one divisor required between $$$\Omega(k)$$$ and $$$O(d(n))$$$, where $$$k$$$ is the amount of unique prime divisors. it needs to be changed by itarative algorithm. Second it's necessary to sort the array a. I thinks both tips will reduce the running time.

    it's very hard way to solve this problem)) We can also solve it using set of pair (value, index) and two array left[n], right[n], which point for unchosen elemnts indexes of their left and right closest unchosen elements.

Thanks for hosting the nice round. I don't quite understand the iterator part of the problem E. If I didn't read it wrong, the iterator --it and ++it are supposed to refer to the original index of the students. If it is so, how do we deal with cases when the next students the couch has to choose is out of reach of k steps (i.e. some of them in between have be chosen in previous rounds)?

    The students that already been chosen in between are getting removed from the set at the end of each turn. In the editorial, it is written that we iterate the "add" array (that holds all students that were picked in the current turn) and delete all students in the "add" array from the total students set. Thus, in the next turn, the "students in between" that have already been chosen aren't in the students set anymore.

In problem F editorial can someone please explain this statement

"If shovel A is for free, then we may "swap" shovels A and C, otherwise we may swap shovels A and B, and the answer won't become worse"

»

F can be solved in O(k^2). First, any deals requiring us buy more than k shovels can be immediately discarded since the problem tells us to buy exactly k shovels. We are left with a subset of deals that have us buy between 1 and k shovels. This means that if we have an array deals[] with each element i corresponding to us having to buy i number of shovels we can simply find the maximum free for every index of this array. therefore, we since this array is size k, instead of running through every single deal, we only have to run through these, giving the solution a time complexity of k^2

Could anyone explain a "very easy" O(a log a) solution to G?

AFAIK, all the comments here are somewhat related to the official solution in the editorial, but I'd like to know the other one(s). I just can't understand the solutions from the round as is, so thanks in advance!
