    After reading this comment , I fear Weak Pretests .Since only red coders are testers so they most probably had used the right approach to solve the problems and wouldn't had thought like pupil or specialist or expert ( various greedy approaches or so)

      Try to practice more of C and D questions. In total, more than 80% C questions, but 10-20% D questions too, to get more experience in that difficulty rating.

      Even if you can't solve them, try to spend 10-20 minutes trying to observe different details about the problems, that might help in finding its solution.

      Then try to read the editorial 3-4 times, and see if you can solve it. If you can't, try to see the code solution 3-4 times, and see if you understand it. If you don't, go to youtube, and learn how to solve it.

      Try to see the editorial, editorial solution, and multiple youtube solutions, even if you get it right. It's good to learn new tricks and new approaches.

    1. This isn't really the place to post that

    2. You swapped the indices around when initializing your array. It should be string** arr = new string*[a]; and then arr[aa] = new string[b];

Master_Jiraya does cheating from starting and i reported about it to MikeMirzayanov and he got plag in last round , he abused me in private chat becz i reported him https://ibb.co/JmhSwKL .
guys show your support and again upvote my comment so he again got punished by MikeMirzayanov

People like Master_Jiraya are spoiling the sport. I don't understand where would cheating take them in life. They will never get anywhere in life but always remain what they are i.e cheater. He should be banned from the platform as soon as possible . MikeMirzayanov sir pls ban him and skip his solutions .

    Sort the pairs by the number of purchsed objects required to get a discount in non decreasing order. Then proceed with two pointers, one at the beginning and one at the end of the sorted sequence. Buy from the end at full price, until there are enough objects to get a discount at the beginning. Then buy from the beginning at discounted price, until the condition for discount is not satisfied anymore. Alternate until the pointers meet in the middle and the object are exhausted.

Oh dear, I had a stupid mistake in Problem C. For $$$x=1$$$ I treated students with equal levels wrongly (my code increased $$$k$$$ then, since it thought it needs $$$-1$$$ additional students) and I just couldn't find this case. That cost me so many points, it's infuriating! And the points-ranking curve felt quite flat so it hurt even more. :D

But still, I liked the tasks! Looking forward for Editorial E and F.

    sort the whole pair according to $$$b_i$$$ .
    then from i = 1 to n -> if already taken no of element >= $$$b_i$$$ take $$$a_i$$$ otherwise take $$$b_j$$$ from the last untaken until taken reached $$$b_i$$$. (for this can use two pointer idea.)

      Wow!! I go through most of my friends' submissions after the contest ends. Something caught my eye in many solutions and I found it 'not so wise' to first sort the array and then reverse it rather than just reverse-sorting it.

      Now I completely understand why. My peer just converted the leaked code given in this link to Python and submitted it. It is very heartbreaking in the first place that the amount of people that cheat has risen up so significantly. :((

      I really wish rodents like him be banished from codeforces, just like snakes were banished from Ireland.

          Well, in the case of vectors of pairs, with a lambda function defined inline, it looks very odd when we can just change < to > rather than sorting then reversing and in Python we just have to add a minus to the lambda.

          My guy just translated the leaked code in c++ to python.

How to solve E?

I was thinking of doing some sort of dp whether its possible to place $$$i$$$-th card in $$$j$$$-th hand. If its possible for $$$(i, j)$$$, binary search on largest $$$x$$$ such that its possible to place only other hand (not j) from $$$(i + 1, x - 1)$$$ (check with pref sums) and $$$k_i$$$ in hand $$$j$$$ is valid in the same range (check with RMQ). Now just mark all $$$(y, j)$$$ as good for all $$$i + 1 \leq y \leq x$$$ using difference sums. I'm still not sure if this is correct as I ran out of time implementing.

    Even if you remove $$$\leq 2 \times x$$$ condition from your code another problem will appear

    Here its optimal to add the one person between $$$100$$$ and $$$108$$$, whereas your code (with the fix) would try to insert it between $$$1$$$ and $$$100$$$. You need apply the operations in non decreasing order of diffs ($$$v_i - v_{i - 1}$$$) for it to be optimal.

How to solve F? Any hint??

  • »
    »
    3 years ago, # ^ |
      Vote: I like it +16 Vote: I do not like it

    in problem F, we notice one mathematical fact that helps us solve the problem: the distance of the median and the element of any array depends only on $$$nS-nG$$$, where $$$nS$$$ is the number of elements smaller than that element and $$$nG$$$ is the number of elements larger than that. To find the exact expression you should break it into two cases: $$$nS \geq nG$$$ and $$$nS < nG$$$. For $$$nS \geq nG$$$, it comes out to be $$$val = floor((nS-nG)/2)$$$ and for $$$nS < nG$$$ it comes out to be $$$val = floor((nG-nS+1)/2)$$$.

    So you can find subarrays with the maximum value of $$$val$$$ for each of those two cases. For this I implemented two lazy segment trees which output max/min and store prefix sum.

    Then you iterate in descending order and you can maintain in the array that if the value is greater than curr, it is $$$+1$$$ otherwise it is $$$-1$$$. Then prefix sum gives the value of $$$nG-nS$$$ for a prefix.

So I tried to find the ordering of the products in problem D with exchange argument. However I couldn't is there any proof for the order of products using exchange argument ?

  • »
    »
    3 years ago, # ^ |
      Vote: I like it 0 Vote: I do not like it

    Here's what I can think of:

    Let's say I have to decide the order between two products A and B (where B has a higher required-number-of-prior-purchases-to-unlock-discount value)

    Now I know that no matter what order I go with, I won't be able to purchase B-type products at the discounted price.

    But there CAN exist some order where I can obtain A-type products at a discount. This order will be when I purchase A-type products after purchasing the minimum required B-products to unlock A's discount.

    After that I can buy all A-type products and then buy any remaining B-types.

    To summarize: I will ALWAYS have to spend full price on the objects whose discount-cutoff is high, but there's a chance I can unlock a discount on lower discount-cutoff products. Therefore I should make any full-price purchases on higher discount-cutoff products so I can unlock discounts on lower discount-cutoff products simultaneously.

I could not understand the statement of problem F during the round. It has many ambiguous points.

I first read maximized value as |i-(center's value)|, |a[i]-(center's value)|, not |(position of a[i] in a subsegment) — (position of center)|.

The statement said "the center" is not the position but the element itself, so the distance compares the position and element's value. I messed up. First sample which has explanation is pretty weak to resolve them.

Extremely Sorry for posting this question here, Regarding yesterday's atcoder beginnner contest abc206 F. (https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc206/tasks/abc206_f). I tried to solve it by DP.

This is what I tried.

My understanding for intersecting is, Two intervals A, B are said to intersect if there is atleast one real number x such that x belongs to both A and B. (i.e. intervals which lie completely within each other do intersect).

With this definition, I tried the following logic. First for each position from 1 to 100 note the end positions of the interval starting from that position. Similarly find the minimum end position of all the intervals starting at or after the current position.

Then do a reverse dp (states 0, 1 : 0 -> considering all the intervals starting from >= current position, whether the 1st player can win. 1 -> considering all the intervals starting from current position (only this current position), whether the 1st player can win).

The transition is for all the intervals starting from current position, dp[i][1] = dp[i][1] | !dp[end_position][0]. Then For j from i until the minimum end position -1, dp[i][0] = dp[i][0] | dp[j][1]

https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc206/submissions/23636854

But it does not work. I could not think of a case where it fails. Could somone please suggest a case where it does not work ?

The pretests of C is soo weak.

Even in the test cases if you just add 1 participant in every place which has diff > x then it will pass upto test case 24.

In problem D,Can anyone please explain as to why it would not be optimal to take more than required ai's for any i? Can it not be the case that it would profit us later?

    It is not optimal to buy any product more than it is actually required. Consider if you buy an extra item at a discounted price and then by doing this step your total number of bought items reaches a level that you get a discount for buying another item. In this scenario, your total incurred cost would be 1+1=2. Instead of buying this extra item, you can buy the second item at its original price i.e. 2.

For problem C, can someone please explain why the difference between two students' level is supposed to be (a[i+1]-a[i]-1) instead of straightforwardly taking (a[i+1]-a[i]). I can find some of the examples where the formula without minus 1 fails, but I can't find a reason that explains why :(

    There is -1 because if you won't put it then suppose a[I+1]-a[I] is 8 and X is 4 , so 8/4=2 whereas you need only one person if a[I] is 1 and a[I+1] is 9 then putting 5 in between will be sufficient.

    If we have 2 students with 1 and 7 values and x=2 the difference =6 and it's divisible by x in this case you need two students to fill the gap it becomes 1 3 5 7 so without this -1 answer will be 3 students which is wrong

How to solve D using binary search?

The premise was to binary search the number of "Twos" I want such that I try to get as minimum Twos as possible but my checking algorithm isn't correct, any ideas?

    I solved with binary search, you can look at my submission

    Well, it got TLE FST because of the pypy issues, but that's a different story

    I solved it using binary search as you explained. You do search on number of items, that you will buy without discount (so for price of $$$2$$$). This bases on a simple fact: If you can buy all needed items using only $$$k$$$ purchases without discount, when you always can buy all needed items using $$$k_1 > k$$$ purchases without discount. So, the minimal $$$k$$$, such as you can buy all, buying only $$$k$$$ items without discount will yield the solution.

    To check inside binsearch you should firstly sort all items by their $$$b_i$$$, before search. Logic behind it is pretty intuitive, you do not want to spend $$$2$$$ bucks on items, that potentially could be unlocked with discount later, so inside binary search you firstly simulate buying $$$mid$$$ items without discount from the end of sorted list (so, buying the most hard-to-unlick items). Then you basically go from the beggining of this list, and check that for items you need and did not buy yet for 2 bucks, you have discount. If you can buy all needed items with only $$$mid$$$ undiscounted purchases, then do $$$r := mid$$$, searching for more optimal solution, else do $$$l := mid + 1$$$. After binsearch answer is $$$2 * k + ((\sum a_i) - k)$$$. Submission: 120089991

Can someone help me out with F? I tried using segment trees. The idea basically is that in a given subsegement for a particular x what matters is the number: No. of elements greater than x — No. of elements less than x. this will be the sum over that subsegment if I represent a number greater than x as 1 and -1 otherwise(it get's a little more complicated when you consider equal elements but the idea is same). The code seems to be working correctly, except the fact that I am getting TLE. And given that I just do 2*n updates and 4*n queries in total I don't understand why it is so. Here's my code

    See the problem constraints, n can be 10^9, which is too large, results in a runtime error

        I mean size of array is arr[n] which is too large. You can see this error by declaring array of size 10^9. size can be upto 10^8

Anyone has any idea if the contest has been officially deemed unrated or there's an issue with the rating? I don't see any posts about this round going unrated, and it's the first time I'd touched the Specialist tag so I really really want the round to stay rated.
