We are thrilled to invite you to participate in the August Long Challenge 2018 sponsored by ShareChat. In addition, there are some exciting internship and full-time job opportunities by ShareChat for Indian programmers in the August Long Challenge 2018. For more details, you may visit the contest page.
I hope you will join your fellow programmers and enjoy the contest problems. Joining me on the problem setting panel are:
Registration: You just need to have a CodeChef handle to participate. For all those, who are interested and do not have a CodeChef handle, are requested to register in order to participate.
In problem [INMAT][1], I get this type of verdict of WA (-1.000000) and WA (0.000000) !! What does WA (-1.000000) mean ?
[1]: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
I liked all these problems, and theyāre all easy to understand, even MYST is clear when carefully read. Donāt know why so much question in coordinate compression. But I have problem with that idiot prince. 4 days ago I thought I found the solution and got 10 points with quick coding, and good partially correct answers. Improved it a lot with hundreds of custom tests, fixed little bugs since then but after 4 days later Iām still getting the exactly same result. Now Iām stuck and donāt wanna touch to any other problemā¦ Iām gonna kill that prince myselfā¦ or let me try to put a big sign saying āSorry prince but our princess is on another landā
i am stuck on coordinate compression. passed all the given test cases expect last sub task (last test case-9).itās very painful. i couldnāt find anything wrong in my code. checked so many test cases. but nothing happened. can anyone help me with it. :ā( :ā(
Great problems. This was the first time I competed in Div 1 and it really was educational. Kudos to the setter and tester for making the problems challenging.
@likecs you might have seen my latest solution (the correct one)ā¦ And I am damn clear about my time complexity analysisā¦I even run my code on my PC for worst caseā¦IT DIDNāT OUTPUT ANYTHING EVEN AFTER 10 MINUTESā¦
@likecs If the intended solution is same as mine then let me tell you that I know that though time complexity seems O(Something) but it is much less than thatā¦But there is a corner test case for which it is really O(Something) and it time outs!!
@pshishod2645 - I think that its best to discuss this in comments section of the problem, or over mail or a private channel with @likecs , as you both can discuss to your hearts content there :). I also dont want anything like ā@pshishod2645 discussed things related to contest but wasnt banned but my friend got banned wtfā since I am actively banning people. Hope you understand my dilemma
What I can confirm is, that the problem is solvable
