We are looking forward to your participation! Comments (150)
 » Unfortunately, the contest clashes with Kickstart Round C. Can you reschedule it?
 » It would be considerate of you if you can reschedule the contest, as it collides with Kickstart round. During the quarantine time, we really wish to attend contest.Thank you :)
 » It would be great if you guys reschedule the event, the number of participants will reduce due to the clash with Google Kickstart Round C.We really wish to participate in the maximum number of contests.Thank you.
 » every Sundy holding a contest?
•  » » Not necessarily. Sometimes Atcoder contests are on Saturdays.
 » Could the Atcoder round be delayed by some hours, to allow Google Kickstart participants to compete in the same?
 » Are contests always held on weekends and last 100 minutes?

•  » » » » » Can you help me in my Solution. I'm getting correct angle between clock hands but some test cases are showing WA.
•  » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   The angle should be $\theta = 80^{\circ}$, not $\theta = 60^{\circ}$. From here, I believe that you can just use the Law of Cosines. Also, using $\verb!abs()!$ instead of $\verb!fabs()!$ would have caused WA.
•  » » » I used abs() and mine was AC ?
•  » » » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   I'm not too sure then. Switching $\verb!abs()!$ to $\verb!fabs()!$ (and leaving everything else the same) took me from WA to AC. It must have been something else in my code.
•  » » » » » Probably because I passed the angle in degrees in abs() then changed it into radians.
•  » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   Use this formula for angle between minutes and hours hand:- theta = fabs((60*H-11*M)/2) and then use cosine rule for third side.
•  » » Don't forget that clock hands won't travel instantly between two consecutive values!

 » For E I stored the values of each A[i]/B[i] and B[i]/A[i] in 2 maps. Then it seemed like I have to exclude the ones not possible from the total possible ways...but I was not able to think of how to do that. Can somebody tell how or suggest a better method?
•  » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   We need to "normalize" the fraction, something like codepii norm(pii p) { if(p.first==0 && p.second==0) return p; else if(p.first==0) { p.second=1; return p; } else if(p.second==0) { p.first=1; return p; } else { int g=__gcd(abs(p.first), abs(p.second)); p.first/=g; p.second/=g; if(p.first<0) { p.first=-p.first; p.second=-p.second; } return p; } assert(false); } Then we can search for every sardine the matching ones in a map. From that the number of possible sets should be toPower(2,n). But that gave wrong result for me. I done know why?
•  » » » The "normalizing" part is for handling division by 0 right?Wouldn't the number of sets be pow(2,n)-1 as we should exclude null set?
•  » » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   I think it is due to 01 and 10 fractions, as they can't be in the same group. Try something like:4 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 2Answer should be 6

•  » » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   can you explain the part where if p.first<0 then you are changing the sign of p.first and p.second?I have seen this earlier also but unable to understand the reason to change the signs.
•  » » » » 16 months ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   To make a fraction negative one can negate both parts. $\frac{-a}{b} = \frac{a}{-b}$ But in this problem we need to find the inverted fraction in a map or set. For the comparator it makes a difference on which part the sign is, so we manually put the minus sign to the first or second part.
•  » » » » » can u help in this Problem E

•  » » » i think we also need to multiply (2^remaining numbers) with your product. what do you think?
•  » » It looks like people are counting pairs but it needs the number of subsets.
•  » » » I summed up for every sardine pow(2, numMatching).
 » is there a way to see failed test in atcoder?
•  » » Usually, test cases will be uploaded after few days ig in here
•  » » » You had to use the cosine rule. Let the distance be d then, d^2 = a^2 + b^2 — 2*a*b*cos(theta) , theta being the angle between the 2 hands.

 » Give me hint for D, please!
•  » » You just need to do BFS and check whether the graph is connected if it is not then the answer is No. else you need to also store the parents of each of the vertex and output them.
•  » » » thanks you, I didn't understand problem statement fully. So, I printed shortest path:)
•  » » » » I also did the same and got WA :(
•  » » » One weird thing I noticed is that if I don't keep a provision to check if the Graph is connected or not, my solution passes. Maybe weak test cases.
•  » » » » The problem mentioned that "One can travel between any two rooms by traversing passages". So the graph is always connected and an ans always exists.
•  » » SpoilerI used BFS, ShortestPathFirst.
•  » » I first made a undirected graph, and then found the distance from 1 to all nodes. After this was done, I had the distances and then I simply found the adjacent node for a given node that was at the least distance from 1. This would be the answer for that node.
•  » » There you go: Subpaths of shortest paths are shortest paths.
•  » » You can use Dijkstra to solve it.To judge Yes or No, you can traverse every points. If every points can be reached, it's Yes. To print all prev, You need to create a new array ans[] to store the prev of every points(except 1) and update them.
•  » » » It is easier to use BFS, because the weight of each edge is 1.
•  » » D is quite dumb, you just need to print parent list of dfs tree
•  » » » Or simple bfs =)
 » How to solve E ?
•  » » it's a straightforward bfs, but took me 1 hour to finish, guess i'm rusty now.basically you record the predecessors when you perform bfs, finally check if every vertex got a predecessor.
•  » » » Umm that sounds like D lol. I was asking the solution for E
•  » » » » opps I posted at the wrong place, but I guess this explains the idea for E: https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/77505?#comment-624918

 » 16 months ago, # | ← Rev. 3 →   Problem D stated that "One can travel between any two rooms by traversing passages" so an answer should always exist , isn't it ? What did I miss?
•  » » Passages denote edges. So let's say if a node is isolated from the rest of the graph, then there is no way to reach 1
•  » » If Graph is not connected answer is "No".
•  » » Graph not connected.
•  » » if u can reach all the node from 1 then yes,otherwise no
•  » » But as he said, the problem mentioned "One can travel between any two rooms by traversing passages". So that means the graph is always connected ?
•  » » But if the components are not connected you can't move. hence first check if the graph is connected then use BFS for answer
•  » » I'm not sure but in my solution, I considered the case when the graph is not connected
•  » » Answer always exists
•  » » "Any two rooms" doesn't it mean every pair of room from n rooms are somehow connected ?

•  » » Since "after traversing the minimum number of passages possible", it should be BFS instead of DFS.
•  » » » but any node among the neighbors that is closest to the root(1) must be the one that we show using signpost ? isn't it ?
•  » » » » DFS is wrong when there is a cycle in the graph

(UPD: note that the index in the picture is a little different from the one used in my code)The yellow mark means that you cannot pass between the two blocks. I used l[x][y], r[x][y], u[x][y], dd[x][y] to denote wether block (x, y) cannot go left, right, up, down.Do a DFS/BFS to know which blocks are reachable.The answer is the sum of areas of the reachable blocks. Because there is -INF, and INF in xs and ys, if I can reach block (0, 0), the answer mush be INF.

 » How long it takes to get rid of the provisional thing?
 » 16 months ago, # | ← Rev. 3 →   Brief solution sketches, before the editorial in English comes out: ADo exactly what the problem tells you to. BSee A. CSome trigonometry allows you to work out a formula like this for the points: Compute $\theta$ for each hand by determining the ratio of how much it's spun to a full rotation (initially, both angles are $90$ degrees), then you just have to find the distances between the two points. DRun a BFS from room $1$, and the sign from each node should point to the parent in the BFS tree of the node. The graph is connected, so there's always a solution. EI represent a sardine $i$ as $(A_i, B_i)$. Sardines that are $(0, 0)$ will be on bad terms with all other sardines, and can only be in a subset by themselves, so treat them separately. Otherwise, a sardine $(a, b)$ will be compatible with all other sardines except those of the form $(-b, a)$ (more on that later). These sardines are independent of other sardines because taking a sardine doesn't affect any other sardine that's compatible with it. For a single type of sardine, you can take any subset of that, any subset of the complement, or none at all. So the answer is $\prod_i (2^{count(i)} + 2^{count(complement(i))} - 1)$, subtracting 1 because that formula double-counts the option of taking nothing. Be careful not to overcount (because this formula will double-multiply due to $i$ being considered both as itself and as a complement).The only remaining issue is that $(a, b)$ should also be incompatible with something like $(-2a, 2b)$. This can be dealt with by dividing by the GCDs and being careful with zeroes. Something like this will work. (nested spoiler)using ll = long long; pair reduce(ll x, ll y) { if (x == 0) return make_pair(0, 1); if (y == 0) return make_pair(1, 0); if (x < 0 && y < 0) { x = -x; y = -y; } if (x < 0) { x = -x; y = -y; } ll g = __gcd(abs(x), abs(y)); return make_pair(x / g, y / g); } pair comp(pll frac) { pair r = make_pair(frac.s, frac.f); if (r.f < 0) r.f = -r.f; else r.s = -r.s; return r; }  FThis problem should not exist. But because it does, I'll give my solution. Run a sweepline on $x$ (or $y$) and maintain a set of segments that represents each component. When you encounter a new horizontal line, possibly split one segment into two (but keep them in the same component). When you encounter a vertical line, if it blocks off the entirety of (at least one) segment, cut off that segment's component and start a new one. When you encounter the end of a horizontal line, merge the two components that were split by it (I used DSU to do this). Update areas as you go (keep track of the last $x$-coordinate seen before the current one). There are only $O(M)$ possible segments at each point of interest and $O(N + M)$ points of interest, so the complexity is something like $O(M(N + M)\alpha(NM))$. I would share my code, but I think it's too messy to be helpful. Feel free to ask about this one (or E, or others).(Note: this approach also requires merging intersecting horizontal/vertical lines into one)

 » Can someone please tell me why my code is wrong for problem D? I don't have much experience in graphs yet so I can't figure out the mistake.Here is the link to my submission.
•  » » what are you making pair for? you probably don't know how a bfs works, read on it and try coding it. I changed your bfs method and this works. check if you're still stuck after reading on bfs. Spoilervoid bfs(){ queue q; q.push(1); visited = true; while(q.size()){ int cur = q.front(); q.pop(); for(auto i : adj[cur]){ if(!visited[i]){ ans[i] = cur; q.push(i); visited[i] = true; } } } } 
•  » » » Understood.Thanks. I will definitely try to learn bfs more. BTW,I found this approach on geeksforgeeks. The pair is of child and parent.
