      I am consistently getting weird compilation errors. I was able to get one submission through, but all others are CE, supposedly due to internal compiler problem. Are you sure about that linker option?

        We apologize for the compilation errors in Rust. Looks like we have not tested this new language thoroughly. For now, please use a different language.

errorgorn Can you please try to avoid the collision between Educational round 119 and this contest by preponing or postponing this round?

    yea I have talked with the edu round setters and they are willing to postpone edu round 119 :)

    so TROC 24 will remain at the same time

      I think the time schedule is still not very good. A 2hr contest right after another 2.30hr contest. No time for discussion.

I guess I'll just write on how I generated the testdata for problems D and E since I think they are quite interesting. I will not write it on the editorial since prabowo will have to translate this entire chunk of text into Indonesian.

D
E

You can see the implementations here

for problem C , can someone explain if this greedy approach works : Taking always the leftmost 1 that minimises the resulting number of inversions or the rightmost 0 that minimises the resulting number of inversions , and in tie we take anyone.

    There isnt a nice way to explain why this doesnt other than providing a counter case.

    Countercase: $$$S=\texttt{101100}, K=2$$$ Changing $$$S[1]=\texttt{0}$$$ and $$$S[6]=\texttt{1}$$$ both reduced the inversion count by $$$3$$$ so according to the greedy strategy, both is fine.

    However, if we do $$$\texttt{101100} \to \texttt{001100} \to \texttt{000100}$$$ and get inversion count $$$2$$$. But the minimum inversion count is actually $$$1$$$.
