https://codeforces.net/contest/195/problem/D I am so close to the solution but there is something that confuse me
the problem describe that $$$S(x)$$$ is sum of $$$n$$$ functions, the solution just use $$$F(x)$$$ for each line,
Should I consider $$$S(x)$$$ so I should sum all $$$k_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$ ? https://codeforces.net/contest/195/submission/67170155 Anyone know why I am wrong?
Can anyone help me If he have explanation for the solution or explain the tutorial more because it is a bit unclear for me. :)
See, you are adding up all the lines of form y = kx + b so you are considering sum of functions = y1 + y2 + y3 ....etc but problem here is that you must notice that f = kx+ b is only true when kx+b > 0 Otherwise y = 0, in other words, all the ys will NOT CONTRIBUTE to the sum of functions always because maybe at some x, they are negative, at such an x they won't contribute. Only, when a particular y becomes positive, will it start contributing to the sum of functions.
aha, I got you. but what make the solution works if I consider only $$$F(x)$$$, Could you explain the solution a bit more ?
I still stuck on this problem :( Could anyone help me
