F can also be solved using divide & conquer.

If the recursion is at range [L, R], choose mid = (L + R) / 2 and answer all queries [ql, qr] such that ql <= tm and qr > tm.

This can be easily done using 2 DPs, one from mid to L, and one from mid + 1 to R and merging them.

Time complexity: O(NlogN * 63)

Problem F can also be solved using divide and conquer.

If we are at range [L, R] with the recursion, let mid = (L + R) / 2. We will answer all queries [ql, qr] where ql <= mid < qr.

This can be easily done using 2 knapsacks, one from mid to L and one from mid+1 to R.

      Of course.

      First of all, notice that the number that is not -1 or 1 is there to make the problem harder, so let's think how would we solve the problem if all numbers were 1 or -1.

      I claim that if the minimum subarray sum is L, and the maximum subarray sum is R, than all sums in range [L, R] can be formed. The proof is in 2 parts:

      • Sums [0, R] can be made

      Let the shortest segment with the maximum sum be [x, y]. If you remove the first or last element of the segment while you can in any order(example below), you will get to an empty segment with sum 0. Because the elemets are 1 or -1, to get to the empty segment, we have to pass a segment with sum 1. The same argument can be made for all sums up to R.

      Example: 1 1 -1 1 1

      Here the subarray with maximum sum is [1, 1, -1, 1, 1] and the sum is 3. If we remove the first element the segment will be [1, -1, 1, 1] with sum 2. Now if we remove the last 1, the segment will be [1, -1, 1] with sum 1. Let's remove the first 1 again, we will have [-1, 1] sum 0. Remove the 1 to have [-1] with sum -1. And finally remove the -1.

      Notice that we saw every possible sum from 0 to 3, and consider the -1 we saw simply as a bonus. Any order of operations will lead to all sums in [0, R] to be seen.

      • The proof for [L, 0] is similar.

      Now we will consider the acutal problem. The biggest bottleneck is the number that is not 1 or -1. We need to find a way to find the possible sums of subarrays that pass through that element.

      Consider the example [1, -1, 10, 1, 1]. Let's break the array in 2 parts, one with all elements before the 10, one with elements after it. For example, [1, -1] and [1, 1]. Now choosing a subarray with tha 10 in it is simply choosing some suffix(empty allowed) from the first array , some prefix(empty allowed) from the second and appending the 10 between them. So, all sums will be in the form $$$suf + 10 + pref$$$. Since 10 is constant, we want to maximize and minimize $$$suf + pref$$$. To maximize, simply take the bigeest suffix and prefix, and to minimize take the minimums.

    as d can be taken common everytime so you can just write as d*(1111.....) now if d is 7. It is always true that given number is divisible by 7 if not than you can check what is the minimum number of one is required to make it divisible by 7. I got that minimum 6 1's should be present so if n>=3 it is divisible by 7 regardless the value of d

    there are a lot of different rules out there the one you need here is that: if the alternating sum and difference of 3 digits from left to right is divisible by 7 then the number will be divisible by 7 for example: 12,332,455 :- value = (4+5+5)-(3+3+2)+(1+2) = 9 ; which is not divisible by 7 hence number is not divisible by 7.

    for n!>=6 (i.e. n>=3, n!=6*k) number of digits will be multiple of 3 and 2, hence you always have even pair of alternating sum of 3 digits hence above value will always be 0 hence divisible by 7.

      i guessed it honestly. i dont have a good proof for that. i statistically thought a prime number would occur once every 10 numbers and applied that. but max difference between primes <= 1e9 is ~200 so l + 200 and r — 200 would be good bound to find a prime number.

There is still a greedy way to pass tests in E by applying an operation when needed and running it min(n,m) times. Meaning complexity would be $$$O(tnm*min(n,m))$$$

I would like to either see it hacked or disproven. Unless that is correct which i highly doubt as I wasn't able to prove it.

    $$$min(n,m)$$$ seems logical, because you need space for a cycle. Let $$$min(m,n)=n$$$. Proof may be something like when $$$n=1$$$ it's obviously correct. For 2, maximum cycle is when setting some bits in one row breaks in another, and vice versa. For 3 same thing is for triangle, and so on.

    When in doubt detect cycle using hash: 298400755

In 2043B - Digits definition of first way, I think there is a mistake.

(123 − 456 + 9) is -324, and it's not divisible by 7 because -324 % 7 is 5.

I think it must be (569 − 234 + 1). {(569−234+1) = 336 % 7 = 0}

2043F - Nim. Nah, I've forgotten the dp way for finding xor = 0, and I wrote meet in the middle, because we can remove all the elements except for 7. So I can test if I can leave exactly 1 element, 2 elements, ..., 6 elements. And to check if I can leave 6 elements, I can check a pair of (3, 3) elements. 298456482

F is a cool problem

»

  Проголосовать: нравится 0 Проголосовать: не нравится

For problem F, we can divide it into some easy sub-problems, We will calculate the minimum number of elements to get 0 xor from the subarray:

  1. If we have 0 in the range, the answer always r-1, freq(0)
  2. If we have an element with frequency >=2, the answer always r-l-1, sum of freq(i) *freq(i-1)/2
  3. Now the size of the subarray <=50 because no element exist 2 times and more ( piegonhole principle), Now we can prove that at most we will select 8 elements from the range ( using the xor bases), we can find the answer using 2d dp with state (Number of taken elements, current xor) which is very similar to knpasack.

The solution is a bit slow but I think there are some nice obeservations here , Nice problem !

For problem D: "This should mean that it is divisible by at least 15 primes which are greater than 37" Why? This one number can fix many pairs, by it, and the numbers it pairs with, all having 41 (say) as a prime divisor. The argument can be made to work, but what is written is I think wrong. Please clarify.

    If a prime is greater than the length of the segment (for example, $$$30$$$), there is at most one number in the segment that is divisible by it. So, if a number appears in $$$15$$$ or more pairs that are not fixed by primes less than $$$30$$$, every such pair should be "fixed" by a separate prime.

Nobody has mentioned the following method for Problem E, which was much more intuitive than the graph method for me:

For each binary matrix B, the final move must result in a column of all 1s or a row of all 0s. Therefore, we can go backwards from B to A and ignore all rows and columns once we know there is a later operation that can set it to be accurate in B. This can be done simply by keeping a counter and sum for each row/column.

    For an array of only 1 and -1, the range of subarray sums is simply from the minimum sum to the maximum sum, as the sum changes incrementally by +1 or -1.

    When the array contains x, the subarrays to the left and right of x consist only of 1 and -1. We calculate the range of sums for these subarrays independently. Since both ranges intersect at 0, the combined range will span from the minimum of the minimum sums to the maximum of the maximum sums.

    To determine the range for segments that include x, start from x and move outward to the left and right, summing the values as you go. As you move, x will increment or decrement by 1 at each step, eventually reaching its maximum and minimum contributions.

    So range is : Minimum Sum: min_prefix + min_suffix + x, Maximum Sum: max_suffix + max_prefix + x.

I noticed that in test case 2 of Problem C that the test case

2

-5 -1

is repeated many, many times. It seems there is an error in the test case, as I would assume it was meant to iterate through several cases. Most notably the tests during the contest miss a notable class of test cases such as 1 -1, -1 1, 1 1 -1, -1 -1 1, 1 -1 1, -1 1 -1, etc., and I am aware that test 2 is meant to iterate through such small cases, not repeat the same case repeatedly.

Specifically, this is the class of test cases of 1s and -1s whose prefix sums are always >= or <= 0. This mistake cost me and other contestants since our incorrect solutions passed during contest. Can a writer please address this?

    Floating point values are imprecise (especially if they are big). You can easily experiment that

    (int)log2((1LL << 60) - 1)
    

    returns 60, while $$$\lfloor \log_2(2^{60} - 1) \rfloor = 59$$$.

    The takeaway is: don't use floating points, and stick to integers (unless floating point values are really necessary).
