Oh, okay. However, I feel like the question could have been a bit more clear on the conditions for this particular case.

for 1*1 matrix answer is x but your code prints y

Thanks a lot for pointing mistake, if there is only one block then it should contain x.

Thatā€™s why its a tricky corner caseā€¦

Thanks, is there even a brute force implementation anywhere? i canā€™t seem to get it right.

Can anybody plz tell whatā€™s wrong in my code?

Try breaking down the problem like x > y and x < y.
You should find the logic if you do that.

1 1 4 1?

Codechef just want the people NOT to understand the question and spend 2 hours of brain cracking just to decide whether 1x1 will have min(x,y) or not :slightly_smiling_face:.

Since n was small dp worked. but will the testerā€™s (@rajarshi_basu) solution work for n upto 10^5 ? (If yes, why was n not 10^5 ? )

Letā€™s say you were in doubt whether to print x or y when n=1 and m=1, (even though the question was quite clear), it would take you two tries to get AC at max, Assuming the rest of your code was right. So, donā€™t blame them because you are stupid.

Got the logic at the first attempt but havenā€™t seen the constraint which cost me 100 points :no_mouth:.
But learning is still there. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks

Check for 1 1 6 5. It should give 6 your code gives 5.

I never doubted that I am not a stupid,itā€™s just that I didnā€™t expect them to be stupid too :slightly_smiling_face: .

Thanks bud. Just needed to check if my ā€œremā€ was going negative. Foolish me. AC
