So a bit ago, rpmdoestuff posted a thread about how he was just 1 rating away from Expert, a lot of motivation posting going on there, so I wanted to congratulate him by showing him how his submission for C was quite similar to ones from others, sadly, he deleted his post afterwards?!?!? I was so sad to see such a inspiring, motivational post being deleted, so I posted this thread to preserve it

For context, this is his submission: 288583119

This is submissions from other fellow gray/green coders who also solved the problem in a (suspiciously) similar way: 288583117, 288584418, 288586091, 288586789

Hi, I have this DnC problem, I would greatly appreciate any help, thank you!

Given an array a with n elements, calculate the sum of min * max over every ranges [l, r] (1 <= l <= r <= n)

Constraints:

1 <= n <= 1e5, 1 <= a_i <= 1e9

Sample test:

4

1 4 3 1

Answer: 58

I have my bet on jiangly, what about you guys?

Hello, I'm doing this problem, the statement is in Vietnamese, therefore I'll give you a summary:

Given n rectangles on a 2D coordination (x, y, w, h), two rectangles are connected if any of it's edges touches, find the largest connected rectangles area (w, h <= 500), no rectangles overlaps with each other and each rectangle is (x, y, x + w, y + h)

The editorial suggested using DSU combined with sweep line, however I'm still not clear on it, I'd appreciate some help, thanks!

I struggle hard with this sometimes, contests are the only thing that would enforce it for me, how do you guys do it?

This account's behavior is very strange, submitted A and B at the same time, not to mention with different templates, other submissions have used a different templates as well, isn't it strange?
