I tried solving the problem the following way:↵
1) Using dfs I maintained the euler tour of the graph,height(or depth) of nodes,along with first and last occurence of index in ↵
euler tour.↵
2) Built a segment tree to give the minimum depth node in an interval along with its index.↵
3) Built another segment tree to give the number of different colors within an interval in the euler tour array.(I used Bitsets ↵
in java here).↵
4) for each query I calculate first the lca of the given nodes, call it X,using first segment tree.↵
5) then using first and last pos of X in the euler tour I calculate the number of different colors in this interval,using second ↵
segment tree.↵
↵
But unfortunately I have been getting TLE at 15th test case. I tried optimising it a lot but its not working. Any help would be appreciated!↵
↵
↵
UPDATE: Instead of using segment tree to find the number of different color,instead for each node I calculated the number of different colors in a subtree using BitSet while dfs itself only. Now I'm calculating only the lca in log(n) time while answering ↵
the number of different colors in a subtree in O(1). But guess what? Now I'm getting NZEC on the same test case 15 which I don't get why:(. Any help would be appreciated:)
