Hello Codeforces!

ozon

We are glad to invite you to the upcoming “Ozon Tech Challenge 2020”, which will start at Mar/03/2020 17:35 (Moscow time). The round will be open and rated for everybody!

This round is initiated and supported by Ozon.

Ozon — one of the leading players in e-commerce (provides its customers with over 2.5 million product names in 24 categories), a tech company that actively developing its IT department. They already have the largest Golang team in Russia, a proprietary WMS fulfillment management system completely written by the Ozon team, 250 million lines of logs per day, collected on the site and in the Ozon mobile application. Ozon experts perform at the leading profile conferences GoperCon, Heisenbug, GoWayFest, GolangConf, and also at the company site meetups are held for the IT community.

The company shows great interest in the support of the developer community — for schoolchildren there is Ozon Academy, for the older audience there is an internship program Ozon Tech Camp and training program Ozon Masters.

Participants will be asked to solve 8 problems in 2 hours 15 minutes. Scoring will be announced a bit later.

The problems were created by AkiLotus, Ari, Kuroni, zscoder, xuanquang1999, and antontrygubO_o

We would like to thank:

Thanks to Ozon for the gifts to the participants:

  • top 10 participants will receive stylish branded backpacks and branded T-shirts;
  • 11-20th participants will receive compact portable chargers for 10000 mAh and branded T-shirts;
  • 21-60th participants will get branded t-shirts;
  • another 30 T-shirts will be played among the rest of the participants, who solved at least two problems, randomly.

We hope everyone will find an interesting problem for themselves. Wish everyone a successful round and high ratings! Good luck!

UPD1:

Score distribution:

500 — 1000 — 1250 — 1750 — 2000 — 2500 — 3250 — 4000

In my opinion, a person who has a better rating should have a better chance of winning a prize! (For 30 T-shirts) This is fairer!

      Prizes only for div1, or for top30 of div1 and top2 of div2.

      And I didn't know what there will be prizes in all sponsored rounds.

        Only for Div1 sounds unfair and the round becomes just the usual round for majority of participants.

        If you make prizes for Div2, Div1 people are likely to create fake accounts.

        Sponsored rounds usually have prizes or are elections to some onsite competition, in which case it's also reasonable to make round combined.

          Only for Div1 sounds unfair

          Why? Making qualification rounds before most important (third) online round of Google Code Jam is also unfair?

          the round becomes just the usual round for majority of participants

          that's a plus :)

          If you make prizes for Div2, Div1 people are likely to create fake accounts.

          top2 div2 isn't much easier than top30 div1

            I don't know of this happens in reality, but when round is combined it makes sense for organising company to promote the competition on their own channels. If div2 is without prices it makes much less sense for them because newly registered users can't actually win

        Previous combined round have ~7000 participants and only ~4500 of them solved at least 2 problems, so your estimation of 10000 is very inaccurate. Anyway 0.3% < 1% so I don't understand the reason of this calculations.

      I have a deterministic solution for F — answer is always less then N + 1 (since we can always make everything even in at most N moves). Then it means we can only change smallest element d to (d — N, d + N). We can make a sieve upto 10^6 to find all primes in factorization of all numbers in this range, and then proceed with classic algorithm for each of those primes. I couldn't see what's the upper bound on number of primes like that, but I assume it's pretty small :P

        I just tried this solution, but n could be 2*10^5 and there're 17,986 prime numbers between 1~200,000. since we need O(n) time to obtain the sum of move counts for such prime number, it seems like 17,986 * 2*10^5(n) cause TLE. Do you have any idea about this?

              Probably yes, but I couldn't create a test where it would behave super badly. The "break when answer is bigger" check is pretty good in stopping almost all cases.

                Yeah, that complexity is already pretty good for many $$$O(N\log^2)$$$ problems if the constant factor is good. I'd rather not bet on it in-contest though.

    Yes, choose any two element x, y, get all prime factor of gcd(x-1,y-1),gcd(x-1,y),..., gcd(x+1,y+1). Then try each factor. Each turn, you might get the correct answer with probability 1/4.

    Upd: choose any element x, get all prime factor of x-1,x,x+1. Then try each factor. Each turn, you might get the correct answer with probability 1/2.

    I don't know, but at least I solved with randomized solution.

    My Randomized Solution

    1. When $$$gcd = 2$$$, the number of operation must be less than or equal to $$$N$$$.
    2. Let $$$t_i$$$ be the number of operation that made for $$$i$$$-th element of array. It means: $$$t_i = |a_i - b_i|$$$ when $$$a_i$$$ is initial array and $$$b_i$$$ is final good array. You can prove easily, that in at least $$$\frac{N}{2}$$$ element, $$$t_i \leq 1$$$.
    3. Repeat 30 times as follows:

    • Choose random index $$$i$$$ from $$$1 \leq i \leq N$$$.
    • Let $$$t_{-1}$$$ be the set of prime factor of $$$a_i - 1$$$.
    • Let $$$t_{0}$$$ be the set of prime factor of $$$a_i$$$.
    • Let $$$t_{1}$$$ be the set of prime factor of $$$a_i + 1$$$.
    • Let $$$T$$$ be the union of $$$t_{-1}, t_{0}, t_{1}$$$. For all value $$$v \in T$$$, check the minimum cost when $$$gcd = v$$$ with complexity $$$O(N)$$$.

    Total Complexity is $$$30 \times O(\sqrt{a_i} + N)$$$. It fails with at most $$$2^{-30} \approx 0.0000000931322$$$% probability.

    We can always make gcd=2 by using <= n operations, so let's use only < n operations. Let's say we applied operation on i c[i] times in optimal answer, then at least for n / 2 indices c[i] <= 1(otherwise (n/2) * 2 >= n). So just pick some index i and try to prime divisors of a[i] — 1, a[i] and a[i] + 1. Not sure if it's good enough to fit into TLE though.

How to Solve E?

    5 years ago, # ^ |
      Vote: I like it +12 Vote: I do not like it

    I think you can construct the answer. Maximum possible number of triples is achieved in sequences like x, 2x, 3x, 4x, ..., kx, and you can calculate how many triples you can get for each k. If m > this number for n, the answer is -1. Otherwise you take the biggest number k less or equal to n, such that m is bigger than the maximum number of triples possible for this k. The first part of the answer would be 1, 2, 3, ..., k. Then you can add just one number: something like 2*k — 2*(how many more triples you need to get m in total), and you satisfy condition for m. If there are spare numbers left (n — k — 1), you can add a sequence of type (big number) * x — 1, which does not produce any more triples.

Does D involves finding longest diameter of the tree, then query end points of that dia, if output of the interactor is one of the 2 ends, return that as that root. If not, then if interactor's output is a vertex not lying on the longest dia, return that vertex. Else (if lca returned is on the dia (but not the ends)), then check recursively the same process in the subtrees of that lca (by removing connection of lca and its neighbors that are not on the dia)?

    I did something related to diameter of the tree.

    You may notice you want to remove a lot of nodes, which are not candidates to be the root in each query, until you are left with one, which is done (fitting exactly in queries) by the approach in the editorial, too.

    I, instead, went on querying the ends of the diameter, and removing all nodes (and of course all other nodes in "subtrees" of the diameter nodes, except the LCA returned in the query, because all of them except the "w" returned in the query, are no longer candidates to be the root as all of them have atleast one vertex "above" them), and continued to do so until I have one node remaining.

        Yes, in worst case scenarios it can check ridiculous amounts of primes (millions) and it checks each linearly. However, lots of optimizations and early stops make it very fast on most data.

Hack Test Case

You can prove that when $$$M < N$$$ the answer is $$$0$$$. But, even if your source code assumes that when $$$M \leq N$$$ the answer is $$$0$$$, you will get pretest passed. (There is some hack cases like above)

For me, first, my source code assumed that when $$$M \leq N$$$ the answer is $$$0$$$, and then I resubmitted. So I was able to notice hack case earlier, but there is no such source code in my room :(

    These are my ugly brute forces which survived system tests during testing. Idea was to run sieve and check all primes up to a constant (5e7 in the present case.) and then randomly pick a no and try to factorise it up to primes 1e4 then assume leftover prime and gcd and check it.
    The intent was to break solutions which doesn't check factors $$$a_i+1$$$ or $$$a_i-1$$$ .

    pajenegod has some similar solns which sieve up to 4e8 (using some superfast sieve.) and runs under 2s.

    One plan to break them was to increase $$$a_i$$$ up to $$$10^{14}$$$ but we didn't want to force factorisation in O(primes up to $$$10^7$$$) instead of O($$$\sqrt a_i$$$)

    I can only present a polylog solution, which should run way slower than the $$$O(n^2)$$$ solution in practice. After sorting the array we can get rid of the absolute value part. Then use divide and conquer, split into two subproblems of size $$$n$$$, then we need to multiply something which can be done using multipoint evaluation of a polynomial, which is a typical problem that can be solved using D&C and FFT in $$$O(n\log^2{n})$$$, therefore the overall complexity is $$$O(n\log^3{n})$$$.

      By understanding how multipoint evaluation works, you can make it in $$$O(n \log^2 n)$$$. Assume for simplicity that $$$n$$$ is a power of two. In fact, for each $$$i$$$, we want to find the remainder of the division of $$$(x - a_{i+1})(x - a_{i+2})\dots(x - a_n)$$$ by $$$(x - a_i)$$$.

      For each interval $$$[L, R]$$$ of the form $$$[2^i \cdot j, 2^{i} \cdot (j+1) - 1]$$$, compute $$$(x - a_L) \dots (x - a_R)$$$. Call it $$$P_{[L, R]}$$$. (This is in fact needed in multipoint evaluation as well.)

      Now, a recursive function $$$f(L, R)$$$ will compute all the results for $$$i \in [L, R]$$$. This function will receive $$$(x - a_{R+1})(x - a_{R+2})\dots(x - a_n) \mod{P_{[L, R]}} =: Q$$$. If $$$L=R$$$, we're done. Otherwise, let $$$m := \left\lceil \frac{L+R}{2} \right\rceil$$$ and notice we can call $$$f(L, m-1)$$$ with $$$(Q \cdot P_{[m, R]} \mod{P_{[L, m-1]}})$$$, and $$$f(m, R)$$$ with $$$(Q \mod{P_{[m, R]}})$$$. Each multiplication and modulo operation can be done in $$$(R - L) \log (R - L)$$$ time, hence $$$O(n \log^2 n)$$$ total runtime.


      Edit: notice that the "normal" multipoint evaluation does almost exactly the same stuff, only that $$$f(m, R)$$$ is called with $$$(Q \cdot P_{[L, m-1]} \mod{P_{[m, R]}})$$$; so that in each step, $$$f(L, R)$$$ will receive $$$\prod_{i \not\in [L, R]} (x - a_i) \mod{P_{[L, R]}}$$$.

    I think that you need to send a new line when you print the answer.

    cout << '!' << " " << ans;
    cout.flush();
    

    vs

    cout << '!' << " " << ans << "\n";
    cout.flush();

Hello, my solution for "B" got an Runtime Error on Test 24, where the String was all "(" (length;1000). The code gives correct answer on this case ("0", that is) on my editor, as well as some online editors too, when checked upon.

Can someone please, check out and tell where it could have got a Runtime Error, because I don't think it (the code) can give Runtime Error.

Thanking you with anticipation!

      Got your point,

      But actually j's value is saved "-1" through this statement, in most of the editors, as I told, above.

      Then, why does it assign a large value of "j" on the Editor and Compiler of CodeForces? Please explain the reason, if you know!

      Thanks!

        The vector.size() returns size_t, which is unsigned.

        However, if it is -1 the code still is undefined, since j is used as an index, and -1 is not allowed there, too.

          The "while" loop condition is there for not allowing the neg. value of "j".

          j>=0

          This condition will stop that, anyways.

          Now, the code works, when I write the equations as follows:

          j--;

            The type of .size() is size_t which is an unsigned integer type, so if the size is 0 and you subtract it by one, it will overflow (it may become a large integer). Therefore, you should not subtract the size without type casting.

            If you use ll j = close.size();j--; or int j = close.size();j--;, close.size() will be cast to ll or int, which is a signed integer, before you subtract it, so it works.

            If you use ll j = close.size() - 1, close.size() will be subtracted before it is cast, so it is wrong. But if you use int instead of ll, it "may" (since overflowing is an undefined behavior) be correct. size_t is a 4-bytes integer type and so is int. The binary result of subtracting an unsigned integer is as same as a signed integer type with the same size commonly, so the binary value of (size_t)0 - 1 is as same as (int)-1. (The value is the maximum value of a 4-bytes unsigned integer which is $$$2^{32}-1$$$, but the maximum value of a signed 4-bytes integer is $$$2^{31}-1$$$, so it will overflow to -1 when you cast it to int.)

            ll is not like that. Although the value of (size_t)0 - 1 is -1 when we regard it as an int, it cannot be cast correctly to ll.

      The resulting string does not have to be empty.

      "Does not have to be empty" meant it could be empty, or non-empty, will not affect the verdict.

      Interactive test data is quite different from normal problems.

      In this problem specifically, the "input" showed in the submission details is equivalent to the hack format described in the statement, and the "output" here is number of queries used (actually this part is quite a placeholder, since I implemented the process of judging the answer to be in the interactor, not the checker).

    Looks like your solution on B failed on system test.

    To make it clear, ịn a contest your solution will be judged by a smaller set of tests (called "pretests"). After contest time, it'd be judged again.

    We tried our best to make the pretests strong, but it's certain that not every case can be covered. :(

    Btw your error was on this line

    while(open[o]<close[o] && o<close.size() && o<open.size())
    

    You should have checked o<close.size() && o<open.size() before doing open[o]<close[o]. That would have given you AC, 72370968.

    One good thing about making this mistake is that you know now how to avoid it in the future!
