    D is easy if you know the divisor formula.

        The number of divisor of any positive integer n is (p1+1) * (p2+1) *(pk+1). where pi is one of the distinct prime factor of n. since 9 can only be written as a product of 3 * 3. and 3 * 1. The number of prime factors of such an integer who has 9 divisors and either 2 or 1. get all the primes until 10^7 and brute force it.

          dp

          first,sort the elements with c

          $$$dp_{i,j,0/1}$$$ being: seeing to the i-th element,having used j money, 0 for no elements of this color have been choosed,1 otherwise

So, you set this kind of D, what are you gonna do for ABC next time?

  • A. count numbers with 3 divisors (n<=100)
  • B. count numbers with 5 divisors (n<=100)
  • C. count numbers with 8 divisors (n<=10000)
  • D. count numbers with 13 divisors (n<=10000)
  • E. count numbers with 4 divisors (n<=1000000)
  • F. count numbers with 7 divisors (n<=1000000000)
  • G. count numbers with 5 divisors (n<=1000000000000)

      it's just that if these kinds of problems are permitted then they can shit out a task every 30 seconds and one problemset every 10 minutes, and still argue "it makes a problemset anyways" instead of actually considering if it can determine rating properly

For D, my solution WA*29. For Sample2 4000000000000, my code output 407097 while the correct answer is 407073. Why?

    I was doing the exact same mistake. For the case p^8, p should be prime, you are probably counting for all natural numbers p, if p^8 <= n, but it has to be done only for primes

      I was also doing the same mistake. How can so many people think the same way and step into the same trap?? It's actually funny...

My Idea for the problem E and F:

E:- Topic — Sorting, DSU || For each node, we will maintain whether the node belongs to arr1 or arr2. We have maintained it using cnt1 and cnt2 variables in DSU. First, sort the edges in ascending order. Then connect the edge one by one and during each Union Operation, We can connect the path from arr1 to arr2 using min(cnt1[node1],cnt2[node2]) or from arr2 to arr1 using min(cnt2[node1],cnt1[node2]). The cost will be no. of operations multiplied by edge weight in current Union. https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc383/submissions/60536697

F:- Topic — Knapsack DP, Sorting || The problem is simple Knapsack, the only catch is how to maintain the number of distinct colors. Suppose the number of distinct colors is X, then we can add K(given constant) by X times. We can sort the items by the colors so that we can check if the next item is of same color or not. We can maintain binary parameter in DP to check if we are taking current color first time or not. https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc383/submissions/60546303

    Great job! For E, there's a trick that can simplify your code. You can store the occurrences in one array $$$cnt$$$, add $$$A_i$$$ to it and minus $$$B_i$$$ from it. Then you can just multiply $$$cnt_u$$$ and $$$cnt_v$$$ to see if it gives the answer after the merge. Click to see more information.

      parameter op=0 represents that current color is not used yet, that's why temp variable= k when op=0. Once we use current color, we pass op=1. If next color is different from current color, again pass op=0

In E, we can find lengths using dijikstra but how would we pair A,B??. One way can be sorting lengths of each pair (Ai,Bi), but that would be k^2.

    You can sort edges based on the weight. As the cost is defined as max weight of the edges on the path, you can add them 1 by 1. When A and B become connected through new edge, it means $$$dist(A, B) = w_{edge}$$$.

    Then it's the greedy idea: if you can pair A, B with a minimal cost of the set, you should do it. Otherwise, the cost would be worse. Consider freshly connected A, B and still not connected C, D. If you don't connect (A, B) now and consider (A, C) + (B, D) was more optimal, that you'll wait until C is connected to the (A, B) component and D is connected with (A, B) component as well. At that moment (C, D) is in the same component too (but maybe they were connected even earlier). Then the 2 holds: $$$cost(A, B) \le cost(A, C)$$$ and $$$cost(C, D) \le cost(B, D)$$$.

    So, $$$cost(A, B) + cost(C, D) \le cost(A, C) + cost(B, D)$$$. And it is better to pair them greedily. Not sure this is a strict proof, but seems strict enough

      Say |AB|=1, |BD|=2, |CD|=3

      |AB| + |CD| = 1 + 3 = 4 |AC| + |BD| = 3 + 2 = 5

      indeed, |AB| + |CD| <= |AC| + |BD|

      But |BD| < |CD|.

      So I don't think your proof is rigorous.

can we calculate efficiently next DP:

dp[i][j] = max{0 <= k <= j}(dp[i-1][k] + a[i][j-k])

It's some kind of convulsion but I don't understand how to calculate it.

        In the last loop, you should remove the condition (i != sq), as you are leaving out some pairs from (0 to i — 1) when (i == sq).
