In F, i take input of the interval as pairs and sorted the vector of pairs ,then find the median of that interval. Then do the necessary arithmetic as pointed out by Geothermal in here. This approrach fails in few test cases. What's wrong with my approach with F? Can anyone point out what am i missing? Link of my submission

I believe that for the $$$n$$$ even case, you select the wrong two indices to form the median. Use $$$\frac{n-1}{2}$$$ and $$$\frac{n}{2}$$$, rather than $$$\frac{n}{2}$$$ and $$$\frac{n+1}{2}.$$$

Your solution is wrong because you have sorted vector of pairs. Let these be pairs. 1 5 2 3 After sorting either they will remain same or 2 3 1 5 There is no possible way answer will be wrong in both the cases because for finding median array needs to be sorted.

so you have to realize anytime the answer overflows out of limit(of data type) or become > 10^18. also if there is even 1 0, ans = 0. Code:

include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

typedef long long ll; typedef unsigned long long ull; typedef unsigned int uint; typedef long double ld;

int main() { ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(0);

int n;
cin >> n;
ll t;
ld ans = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
    cin >> t;
    if (ans != -1)
       ans *= t;
    if (ans > 1000000000000000000 || ans < 0)
       ans = -1;
    if (t == 0)
       ans = 0;
}
cout << (ll)ans;
return 0;

For F, we can notice that ans is simply summation of i from 1 to n of (number of subsets of length i with sum s) * (2 ^ (n — i)).

So now let dp[x][j] = summation of i from to n of (number of subsets of length n with sum x) * (2 ^ (n — i)) for the prefix 1..j

Now, apply normal knapsack to combine answers, but since you're adding length 1 to your previous sums, we will have to divide them 2

dp[x][j] = dp[x][j — 1] + (dp[x — a[j]][j — 1] * modinv(2))

Answer is dp[s][n]

You can even do it in O(n) space without needing the second dimension, like a normal knapsack, moving backward.

If n is odd, get the maximum median (sort array of B's and get its median) and the minimum median (sort array of A's and get it's median). The answer is max median — min median +1.

If n is even, sort the arrays and do: max median = B[n/2] + B[(n/2)-1], min median = A[n/2] + A[(n/2)-1]. This way we avoid working with not integer numbers. So the answer is still max median — min median +1.

From the minimum median, you just need to icrease the median by 1 to go to the next value (in case of n pair, increase first the biggest one and after the smaller one in the middle). You can do this until reach the maximum median.

dush1729

Thanks to 1358C, idea is very similar. You can observe minimum median will be median of array x and maximum medium will be median of array y.

So values in the range median of array x to median of array y will be covered. Take care when size of array is even.

In the second part, there are essentially two tricks for the problem 1) Sort the array. If the value at index i is 0, then we cannot return -1(no matter what). 2) Multiplying two extremely large numbers even when the data type is long long int will result in negative values, which will result in wrong answers. So, a*b>=c is equivalent to b>=(c/a)(take care of the border cases) Link to my code https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc169/submissions/13810433

I'm guessing you may have tried to multiply all the numbers together in Python or a similar language? Since the intermediate products can have $$$O(N)$$$ digits, multiplying them takes $$$O(N)$$$ time, so this approach takes $$$O(N^2)$$$ time in the worst case.

You need to round it, rather than taking its floor. For example float('2.51') = 2.509999999..., so int(float('2.51')*100) = 250.

I'd guess the issue is double precision. Precision is an issue in general, but in particular, the answer here can be up to $$$10^{16}$$$, which is too large for the number of precision bits in a double.

But here multiplications are in long long, the only place where precision could affect is assigning "b = c*100".

Any advice on how to avoid these errors in future ?

→ Reply

You need to understand why this error happened. The reason is that if you read a number as a double (lets say 10) the double can be represented as 9.9999... or maybe 10.000...01 (both of which are 10 indeed woth a very small error intrinsic to the floating point representation)) but in c++ if you convert them to an integer it truncates the value automaticaly, so the result could be either 9 or 10. The solution would be doing the comversion as x_int = round(x_double) or x_int = x_double + 0.5.

Yes, it would be a problem. But you did not quite get how to use what I said. If a number has at most x decimal digits, you may want to multiply it to 10^x and convert to integer, so you do int_x = 10^x*double_x+0.5 (but if double_x has more the x digits this may not work correctly)

You dont understand how it works. The number may be interpreted as 188.99999999... which is the same as 189.00000 but when you cast to int in c++ the value is truncated, it sort of an undefined behaviour, the value may be casted to 188 or 189, use the round to avoid that.

In editorial there is a typo in problem D English version.

Wrong:$$$O(N)$$$

Correct:$$$O(sqrt(N))$$$

Can AnyBody please tell how can i reduce the submission time of my solution to the problem F?

https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc169/submissions/13920879

I have seen people getting AC in less than 100ms while mine is giving AC in 1000 ms.

thanks in advance. :).

In the editorial of problem F it says:

dp[i][j] = When the choices for the first i options is already determined, the number of combination such that the sum of ak for each k that the first option was chosen is equal to j

What does it even mean?

Can anyone help me debug my solution? I get TLE on 6-7 test cases, no idea why. Thank you!

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int solve(long long n) {
    if (n == 1) {
        return 0;
    }
    vector<int> f;
    for (int i = 2; i * i <= n; i++) {
        while (n % i == 0) {
            f.push_back(i);
            n /= i;
        }
    }
    if (n > 1) f.push_back(n);

    int ans = 0;
    int i = 0;
    while (i < f.size()) {
        int j = i + 1;
        while (j < f.size() && f.at(j) == f.at(i)) j++;
        int count = j - i;
        i = j;
        int sum = 0;
        for (int x = 1; count >= sum + x; x++, ans++) sum += x;
    }
    return ans;
}

int main() {
    long long n;
    cin >> n;
    cout << solve(n) << endl;
}

for (int i = 2; i * i <= n; i++)

i * i can overflow since n goes upto $$$10^{12}$$$
Use long long instead.

For problem D, Maybe this sounds stupid, But can someone please explain why is it optimal to compute for each prime and its powers first, then similarly with next prime and its powers, and so on instead of going from 2 onwards ?

If we increase one value by $$$1$$$ and leave the rest as it is, then median can stay the same or increase by $$$1$$$ for odd $$$n$$$ and stay the same or increase by \frac{1}{2}

Unable to parse markup [type=CF_MATHJAX]

is even. Now let's set $$$X_i = A_i$$$ and increase all of them one by one till we reach $$$X_i = B_i$$$. At first median equals median of $$$A_i$$$, and after all operations equals median of $$$B_i$$$ and at each step it will either stay the same or increase by $$$1$$$ in case of odd $$$n$$$ and by $$$\frac 12$$$ for even $$$n$$$ thus will reach all integers for odd $$$n$$$ and halfintegers for even $$$n$$$ from range $$$[\text{median}(A_1, \ldots, A_n), \text{median}(B_1, \ldots, B_n)]$$$.

To prove we can't reach any other value we only need to see, that median of an integer sequence is an integer for odd $$$n$$$ and a half integer for even $$$n$$$ and see that we can't reach a value outside that segment, but this is straightforward conclusion from the fact, that if all values increase or stay the same, then the median can only increase or stay the same as well.

I am Facing problems in the C . No matter what I submit , I am shown wrong answer in 6/22 cases . I am not understanding where is the error or fault exists in that code .. If anyone knows , please give me the solution . My code is given below ::::

include<stdio.h>

int main() { long long int a,pro1; double b,pro=1.0; scanf("%lld %lf",&a,&b); b=b*100; pro=(a*b); pro1=(long long int)(pro/100); printf("%lld",pro1); return 0; }

For big values of $$$a$$$ the variable $$$pro$$$ has simply not enough bits to store the exact result of $$$a*b$$$. In this case the double type truncates bits, which results in pro1 beeing some other value than the mathematecally expected one.
