I cant understand d, can someone explain the approach
First,we can consider that each $$$c_i$$$ is independant.So,we can calc the answer of each $$$c_i$$$.Then we calc their sums.
Then,obviously,we can discover $$$i$$$ is important for us to use it if there is $$$j$$$,$$$a_j\le a_i$$$ and $$$a_j-b_j\le a_i-b_i$$$。Because we can use $$$j$$$ to replace $$$i$$$ and we can save more objects.
Therefore,we can let $$$d_i=a_i-b_i$$$ and sort $$$(a_i,d_i)$$$ in the order of $$$a_i$$$.Then a useful $$$(a_i,d_i)$$$ means there isn't $$$j<i$$$,$$$d_j\le d_i$$$.So we can record $$$k=\min_{1\le j<i} d_j$$$,$$$d_i<k$$$。
Like this:
[submission:267715465]
Then,we use dp algorithm to solve it. Let $$$f_i$$$
is the answer that we have $$$i$$$ objects.Obviously,$$$f_i=f_{i-d_j}+1$$$,$$$j$$$ is the maxnum $$$x$$$,$$$a_x\le i$$$.
Because $$$a_i\le 10^6$$$,we only calc for $$$i\le 10^6$$$.
For $$$i>\max a$$$,we can reduce it to $$$i-kd$$$ by use $$$max a$$$.$$$k=\lfloor\frac{i-\max a}{d}\rfloor+1$$$
If you have some spare time, may you please explain why this solution 267833774 using binary search gets TLE? I would think that the complexity is something like 1e6 * log2(1e6) which I think should pass
Is the upper_bound function in your code, not being called multiple times. If that is the case, then the worst-case complexity will be N*N*logN. I wrote a similar looking code and faced the same problem. I am not 100% sure about your code though.
i tried storing the increasing differnce of a[i] — b[i] (and consecutively increasing a[i]) in maps but am getting TLE.Can someone tell me why my time complexity is getting f-ed.Can someone also tell me the optimizations.my submission :((
you can use unordered_map
but i need them differences sorted
since a[i]-b[i] <= 10^6, use an array instead is sufficient
i hoper they will add text tutorial too
I have a doubt in my submission for problem B where I iterate on the string b and whenever I match a character of it with "a" i increment the ptr j of b and then increase the variable cnt. Finally I print the answer as a.size + b.size -cnt . But it fails somewhere, can anyone help me give a case where my solution fails or the problem with my approach?267685947
1 dbcebd eddedad answer:10 since the first letter of b may not in a.
Video editorials is a great addition to codeforces, I hope we normalize it. However text editorials is much important than video editorials so please don't stop doing it.
I also think so. And I'm Chinese, I can't watch the videos on youtube.
can anyone tell me in problem B answer is n+m-longest common subsequence of both strings? is it correst
consider this a-> abc b->xaxbxcx here lcs is 3(abc) so according to you ans must be 3+7-3 but actual ans is 9 ie 3+7-1
thanks
why???
Answer is 7 for this test case
no. a is substring.keep this in mind while thinking about subsequence and not to distort continuity of a in making b.
Well no its not . Suppose you get first strings abcde and the other as bfd , the actual answer of this will be 7 , it is basically the longest sequence of string a which is also subarray of string b.
267826797 ques b) can anyone why its not giving right output or on which test case it fails
consider a test case where a=contest and b=teast
then according to your code answer is 7 but answer is 10
i am getting ans as 10
I don't know the testcase but it is due to in between in string b when we start checking it is in a or not. I also get wrong answer at same test case but my approach was different
I don't know dp but your solution fails in the below test case.
Test case a = abc and b = bbaacc
then according to your code answer is 8 but answer is 7.
answer string = bbaabcc
thanks bro
bro 7 is the ans from my code
someone please hack this solution:- https://codeforces.me/contest/1989/submission/267711789
This solution also:- 267735052
UPD: This solution is actually correct.
Nice try! However, not all users on CodeForces are good at English, they may find it difficult to understand this video. May the authors upload text tutorial too?
The authors are gonna upload the text tutorials. Not uploading the text tutorials in favor of video editorials would be a retarded decision. Video tutorials are just like a bonus for whoever learns better by watching.
But Shayan got TLE in his submission 267715088, can we get updated tutorial for D?
upd: sorry, he got WA
I Used the exact same idea. He got wrong answer and not TLE. Maybe he missed some boundary condition. This is my submission using same idea, if it helps 267852076
Do you know the reason why his solution gives wrong answer? Thanks.
I have corrected his code. This is his code with modifications https://codeforces.me/contest/1989/submission/267873425
Disappointing judging for the D problem, I had made an O(n) submission without including
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(nullptr);
and it didn't pass due to TLE, but after including this block and submitting an O(nlogn) code, it did.
I am assuming normally optimizations like these should not be a factor but due to the tight constraints, they resulted in TLE.
Problem Statement for D sucks
I hope they add the Text editorials soon
Please someone point out on which case this code fails for question B 267781357

Bro when are you starting post contest discussions on youtube
These video tutorials are unofficial, text editorials will be released soon by the contest authors.
Weak test cases in D. But anyway, good round indeed.
can someone tell me why i go wrong answer at test 2 267864473
can u explain the idea of your approach
Your idea is incorrect because whenever you get that b[i] == a[j] you are assuming that taking that a[j] will give you the best answer that isn't necessarily true. For example, there is this test case:
1 bba abb
thank you
This solution for problem D is getting a runtime error on the 9 th testcase. I can't seem to find the issue. Can you guys help!
https://codeforces.me/contest/1989/submission/267869614
In C++, comparator should return false if its arguments are equal.
Thank you so much, I didn't know about this before.
Nice problems
Has anyone been able to write a non-DP solution to D?
I'm using sorting, and despite all my optimizations, I still get TLE on test 10. Here: https://codeforces.me/contest/1989/submission/267885902
Can someone tell is it possible to optimize this code for problem D: public static long SmithingSkills2(int[][] arr, int[] metals){
Code explanation: 1. Sort the weapon array according to their bi / ai values in decreasing order. 2. Build a priority queue for metal ingots (let's call it pq). 3. Start iterating over the sorted weapon array. 4. For the current weapon, the task is to calculate the maximum possible experience for the i-th weapon. 5. To do this, start picking elements (denoted as ele_i) from the priority queue. 6. For the i-th weapon, determine the maximum possible experience, which can be calculated using binary search. 7. Update solution accordingly
I think the expected time complexity is : O(nlogn + mlogm + nlogm * log(1000)).
Can some one tell me why this is wrong for B
import java.util.*; public class Main{ public static void main(String args[]){ Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); int t=sc.nextInt(); sc.nextLine(); while(t-->0) { String a=sc.nextLine(); String b=sc.nextLine(); int n=a.length(); int m=b.length(); int k=0; if(n>m) {
HashMap<Character,Integer> hashmap=new HashMap<>(n+1); for(int i=0;i<n;i++) {
char ch=a.charAt(i); hashmap.put(ch, hashmap.getOrDefault(ch, 0) + 1); } int count=0; for(int j=0;j<m;j++) { char ch1=b.charAt(j); if(hashmap.containsKey(ch1) && hashmap.get(ch1)>0) { hashmap.put(ch1,hashmap.get(ch1)-1); } else{ count=count+1; } } System.out.println(n+count); } else{ HashMap<Character,Integer> hashmap=new HashMap<>(m+1); for(int i=0;i<m;i++) {
char ch=b.charAt(i); hashmap.put(ch, hashmap.getOrDefault(ch, 0) + 1); } int count=0; for(int j=0;j<n;j++) { char ch1=a.charAt(j); if(hashmap.containsKey(ch1) && hashmap.get(ch1)>0) { hashmap.put(ch1,hashmap.get(ch1)-1); } else{ count=count+1; } } System.out.println(m+count); } } } }
Solution of d provided in video got wrong answer on test case 21
In problem D, I am getting Runtime error on test 14. Not able to figure out the issue. Pls someone help. My submission: 269094484
Hello, Could somebody check why my solution is too slow? I get TLE on TEST 7. Thanks :) https://codeforces.me/contest/1989/submission/270892685
I am new , need help on substring and subsequences, why won't it work if I get the longest common subsequence between string a and string b and then return the result as : sizeof(a)+sizeof(b)-sizeof(LCS of a,b) ? .
