Is there an editorial for the Newton's Coding Challenge December 2021 ? here is the announcement : https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/98437 But I can't find any editorial.
I got this message when I tried to register.
How long will it take for my college to be added? Are only graduates of those registered colleges allowed to participate?
It's almost instantaneous. Can you please check now?
It was added. Thanks!
What was the intended solution of K-star problem. I did some crap , looping over all nodes as roots. For each other, doing a BFS while keeping track of number of nodes in each root'child subtree, calculating via an k*(number of children of root) dp lmao.
Edit: And it passed.
Yes, that seems like the intended solution. There are not that many feasible centers.
Editorial
Got a WA(RTE) for problem C for submitting in Python3 instead of C++ lol!!

Why are codes with
debugtemplate giving me WA? This is a really annoying thing, because I have to comment off them every time I submit and vice-versa.Does anybody know any quick work-around for this, please let me know!
Yeah, unfortunately if you are using
Then this wont work because the ONLINE_JUDGE is not set while compiling in their OJ.
So maybe make some LOCAL flag set while compiling in your system and change above code to this
Thanks for your answer, but I am using an online compiler, TIO. And, I don't know what
LOCALflag is set there. However,ONLINE_JUDGEflag is not set, and that helps in debugging.i.e. add
-DLOCALin compiler flags optionWow, I didn't knew we set compiler flags like this. Thanks a ton, dude!
