It would be considerate of you if you can reschedule the contest, as it collides with Kickstart round. During the quarantine time, we really wish to attend contest.

Thank you :)

It would be great if you guys reschedule the event, the number of participants will reduce due to the clash with Google Kickstart Round C.We really wish to participate in the maximum number of contests.

Thank you.

    It looked like a monstrous casework problem where you first de-sparseify the x and y coordinates into a range 1 ~ 4000, and then do a BFS. I didn't debug my code in time though, since it was too complex :(

    $$$A_i$$$ * $$$A_j$$$ + $$$B_i$$$ * $$$B_j$$$ = 0 can be written as

    $$$A_i$$$/$$$B_i$$$ = -$$$B_j$$$/$$$A_j$$$ = -1/($$$A_j$$$/$$$B_j$$$)

    Handle cases with A = 0 or B = 0 separately and simply multiply no. of choices from each "pool". A pool is values of $$$A_i$$$/$$$B_i$$$ that are x/y and -y/x.

        I used a HashMap. You should also store over ai/bi in reduced form, and you can do that by dividing by the gcd.

I finished A B D in 10 min but could not solve C in 90 min. In the second sample test case, the angel is 60 degree, and a = 3, b = 4. why the input is 4,56... instead of sqrt(13)? Could anyone explain me? Thank a lot!

      10h40, so the hour hand is equivalent to 50m and the minute hand is 40m, so the degree is ((50 — 40) / 60) * 360? Isn't it?

    The angle should be $$$\theta = 80^{\circ}$$$, not $$$\theta = 60^{\circ}$$$. From here, I believe that you can just use the Law of Cosines. Also, using $$$\verb!abs()!$$$ instead of $$$\verb!fabs()!$$$ would have caused WA.

        I'm not too sure then. Switching $$$\verb!abs()!$$$ to $$$\verb!fabs()!$$$ (and leaving everything else the same) took me from WA to AC. It must have been something else in my code.

    Use this formula for angle between minutes and hours hand:- theta = fabs((60*H-11*M)/2) and then use cosine rule for third side.

For E I stored the values of each A[i]/B[i] and B[i]/A[i] in 2 maps. Then it seemed like I have to exclude the ones not possible from the total possible ways...but I was not able to think of how to do that. Can somebody tell how or suggest a better method?

    We need to "normalize" the fraction, something like

    code

    Then we can search for every sardine the matching ones in a map. From that the number of possible sets should be toPower(2,n).

    But that gave wrong result for me. I done know why?

      The "normalizing" part is for handling division by 0 right?

      Wouldn't the number of sets be pow(2,n)-1 as we should exclude null set?

      I think it is due to 01 and 10 fractions, as they can't be in the same group. Try something like:

      4 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 2

      Answer should be 6

        i=0 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=0
        i=1 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=0
        i=2 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=0
        i=3 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=0

        i=6 no. of bad values=1 bad sets till now=56
        i=7 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=112
        i=8 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=224
        i=9 no. of bad values=0 bad sets till now=448
        

        what im doing is finding if no. of bad values is >0 then i am doing (2^(val)-1)*(2^(i-val)) and adding them to ans and if val is zero then ans+=ans as that zero can be appended to any set prior to that

        So for i=5 (2^2-1)*(2^3)=24,for i=6 (2^1-1)(2^5)=32;so ans =24+56 till i=6; after that we are simply appending zeros so adding ans=ans+ans but i am counting less bad sets ,dont know where i am wrong

        To make a fraction negative one can negate both parts. $$$\frac{-a}{b} = \frac{a}{-b}$$$

        But in this problem we need to find the inverted fraction in a map or set. For the comparator it makes a difference on which part the sign is, so we manually put the minus sign to the first or second part.

      You had to use the cosine rule. Let the distance be d then, d^2 = a^2 + b^2 — 2*a*b*cos(theta) , theta being the angle between the 2 hands.

    You just need to do BFS and check whether the graph is connected if it is not then the answer is No. else you need to also store the parents of each of the vertex and output them.

    I first made a undirected graph, and then found the distance from 1 to all nodes. After this was done, I had the distances and then I simply found the adjacent node for a given node that was at the least distance from 1. This would be the answer for that node.

    You can use Dijkstra to solve it.

    To judge Yes or No, you can traverse every points. If every points can be reached, it's Yes. To print all prev, You need to create a new array ans[] to store the prev of every points(except 1) and update them.

    it's a straightforward bfs, but took me 1 hour to finish, guess i'm rusty now.

    basically you record the predecessors when you perform bfs, finally check if every vertex got a predecessor.

        My approach :

        Total number of set is $$$2^n-1$$$ (-1 empty set).

        create a map having count of $$$A_i/B_i$$$ (Note : consider for cases $$$(0,0),(a,0),(0,a))$$$ , iterate over map and for every $$$mp[i]$$$ find count of $$$-1/mp[i]$$$ now we have three set

        first : $$$A_i/B_i = mp[i],$$$ second : $$$A_i/b_i = -1/mp[i],$$$ third : all renaming

    Since "after traversing the minimum number of passages possible", it should be BFS instead of DFS.

      but any node among the neighbors that is closest to the root(1) must be the one that we show using signpost ? isn't it ?

        DFS is wrong when there is a cycle in the graph

        you can't get the exact level of node by DFS if there is a cycle

          why would dfs not give exact level or to say distance from root ? can you give an example ?

            consider this test case:

            6 6

            1 2

            2 3

            3 4

            4 5

            5 6

            6 1

            Try to figure yourself!

            If there is a circle in the graph you do not know in wich direction the dfs goes throug the circle. If it is the wrong one, you get the wrong result.

    1. Cut the hole plan into rectangular pieces(Based on the inputted x and y s). There are at most O(N^2) pieces.
    2. BFS or DFS to find the accessible rectangular pieces.

      Can you please explain your approach a little more? and can you please just briefly tell me what do you do in your code after you separate out unique coordinates on both axes.

        After getting vector<int> xs and ys, split the plan into blocks like this.  (UPD: note that the index in the picture is a little different from the one used in my code)

        The yellow mark means that you cannot pass between the two blocks. I used l[x][y], r[x][y], u[x][y], dd[x][y] to denote wether block (x, y) cannot go left, right, up, down.

        Do a DFS/BFS to know which blocks are reachable.

        The answer is the sum of areas of the reachable blocks. Because there is -INF, and INF in xs and ys, if I can reach block (0, 0), the answer mush be INF.

          will not it get TLE? Because the maximum size of the points might be 1e9.

    These days Atcoder is not publishing editorials in English, at least not anytime soon after contest finishes. I guess there are a lot of people who would want solution to F including me.

Problem E. Here's my solution .(it's giving AC for half of the test cases).

Could anyone please tell me my MISTAKE. (apart from the fact that i need to take care of the {0,y} or {y,0} case separately).

I have tried On D using Bfs and finding the depth of each node, then I for each node I find the minimum depth in it's adjacent nodes with O(logn) and print it, so we get complexity of O(nlogn), but still I'm getting WA And TLE. can anyone help?

    when you find depth you do depth[currentNode] = 1 + depth[parent] you don't need the depth. You just have to know who the parent of that node is, so just take depth[currentNode] = parent and print the depth array

      But we want to minimize the distance from vertex 1, so I think parent is not always best signpost for each vertex.

        Why do you think your logic to find the depth of a node works using bfs? because bfs always finds shortest path. Hence, if you found a node using bfs, going through that parent gives you the shortest path. My AC code

    what are you making pair for? you probably don't know how a bfs works, read on it and try coding it. I changed your bfs method and this works. check if you're still stuck after reading on bfs.
