Hi guys, I've been trying the Gym labeled as 2018 UCP-ICMC and I am getting stuck with problem F, I cannot even pass the test 7.
To summarize, what I did was to identify what are the integers that all friends who listed what numbers their like, are in common. So, if 5 friends with a set of integers A, B, C, D, E look for the intersection of A, B, C, D & E. Finally, since the rest of friends just mentioned what numbers their hate (assuming what they did not mention are numbers they like), I just remove all integeres that were listed as 'hated' from the intersection of sets I had.
So my final answer ended up being something like |U| — |H|, where U is the set resulting from Union of the intersection of all integers listed as 'liked' and all integers listed as 'hated' and H is the set of hated integers (here all items 'liked' but 'hated' but others will be not taken into account).
Here is the appoach mentioned above: https://ideone.com/FQnNov Here is the latest attempt I did that ended up in same result: https://ideone.com/u9PU7m
This is the problem I am trying to deal with: http://codeforces.me/gym/101875/problem/F
I would appreciate your guidance, help, suggestions, pretty sure it will help me a lot :)
Thanks in advance!
