I have noticed on recent Starters contests some are rated for 5 stars, some for 6 stars, some for all. Is there any pattern/way to check this for upcoming contests?
Actually, there is no specific pattern. The number of stars till which the contest should be rated is decided based on the setting panel's opinion and the testers' feedback.
How to solve EVIL_INF ? I tried to do some DSU stuff but couldn't get it to AC
DP, first just find for every Y what they will take if their X is missing. Then just go over Y in decreasing order and take dp[ current ] = dp[ takes_from ] + 1 ; answer is max over dp — 1, since the last person is not evil, because he is left with nothing to take.
It's simple greedy, sort all people by B[i](their arrival time) ,now iterate from last to first, suppose we are at person x and demon took his takeout then dp[x]=1+dp[id],where id is the minimum a[i] person x can steal. dp[i]-answer when i takeout is taken. To calculate id, we can use a priority queue.
Here's my implementation- Code
Thanks! didn't even think of doing DP.
Today i helped a demon.
when will ratings be updated?
There is some delay due to an issue. It should be fixed and updated by mid day tomorrow.
Fixed.
