Codeforces Round #278 Problem D. Strip.

Revision en1, by blank_manash, 2020-07-10 19:55:10

Can Some Explain on How to solve this problem. https://codeforces.net/contest/487/problem/A

I understood the recurrence relation given in the editorial but I do not know understand how to use Sparse Table or Segment Tree ( Or the Monotonic Queue ) to calculate the function $$$f[i]$$$ and $$$g[i]$$$.

According to the recurrence $$$f[i] = min(f[k])+1;$$$ where $$$k \in (i-g[i],i-l)$$$

And $$$g[i]$$$ is the greatest length of the sequence ending ( and including ) at $$$i$$$ and satisfying the properties.

How will we Calculate $$$g[i]$$$ and $$$f[i]$$$ ?
