How is the below solution working ?? I found this in submission relatively easier than others . Can someone explain the intuition behind it? What I have understood is that we can move opposite to the direction s[i] in the string to get the required cooordinate. Can someone give a proper explanation for this and why are traversing string in the reverse direction?

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
    using namespace std;
    int main(){
    int t;
    cin>>t;
    while(t--){
      int n,m;
      cin>>n>>m;
     string s;
     cin>>s;
     int x=1,y=1;
     for(int i=s.size()-1;i>=0;i--){
       if(s[i]=='L'&&x<m)x++;
       if(s[i]=='R'&&x>1)x--;
       if(s[i]=='U'&&y<n)y++;
       if(s[i]=='D'&&y>1)y--;
       
     }
     cout<<y<<" "<<x<<endl;
    }
    }

Can someone help me in fiding error in my code ?? It is failing on a test case but I am not able to figure it out . Problem Link : https://codeforces.me/contest/1562/problem/C

My logic :

Case 1 — string contains all 1s then simply print starting and ending indexes of any two substrings of length greater than n/2. as they will be multiple of each other . like 11111111 >>> 1111 and 1111 their decimal values both will be multiple of each other .

Case 2 — if the first zero is finding at length less than or = to n/2 then print the index of a substring starting from there till the end and other excluding that zero and till the end. Like 101111 >>> 01111 and 1111, their decimal values both will be multiple of each other .

Case 3 — if the first zero is at length greater than n/2 then print the index of a substring starting from index 1 till it and the other starting from 1 to l-1. ****

I think it is failing on Case 1 But not able to figure it out why and where Please Help!!!!!

void solve()
{
    ll n;cin>>n;string s;cin>>s;
    ll l=-1;
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        if(s[i]=='0')
        {
            l = i+1;
            break;
        }
    }
    if(l==-1)
    {
        cout<<1<<" "<<n/2<<" "<<n/2+1<<" "<<n<<"\n";return ;
        
    }
    if(l<=n/2)
    {
        cout<<l<<" "<<n<<" "<<l+1<<" "<<n<<"\n"; return ;
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<1<<" "<<l<<" "<<1<<" "<<l-1<<"\n";return ;

The problem seems easy but there are two cases . I am not able to get case 2 which is explained in the editorial .

Case 1: First take out max of mixed flowers whcih we can make and then make individual flowers. long long mixed = min(min(r,g),b); r = r- mixed; g = g-mixed; b= b- mixed; long long ans1 = (mixed) +(r/3)+(g/3)+(b/3);

but I am not able to get case 2. maximum of two cases will be my answer.

Please Help !!!!!!!

Can someone help me in solving this greedy problem ????

I thought of 2 passes left and right and storing max and then changing the elements and then comparing the sum of both sides(left and right) but it is not working , Can someone suggest a good approach to solve this problem. There is no tutorial for this problem .

Thank You in advance.

Yesterday 's contest had some very good problems , unfortunately, it became unrated.

The problem is based on standard topological sort Prerequisite problem .

If the cycle was found in the graph I printed -1 as the answer.

else I found the topical sort of all the chapters , using cycle detection + DFS + queue.

After finding the topological ordering of chapters (stored in a queue a ->b->c->d.... )how do I count the number of times I will have to read the book/number of passes required ???

Please help !!!
