PREREQUISITES:

Inclusion-Exclusion

PROBLEM:

You are given two integer N and M, along with an array B of length N containing unique integers. You have to
find number of array A of length N with three restriction.

1. 1 \leq A[i] \leq M.

2. A[i] \neq A[j] where i \lt j.

3. For all i , A[i]!=B[i].

QUICK EXPLANATION:

So we have two main restriction ( 2nd,3rd ) , we will follow 2nd instruction and apply inclusion-exclusion on 3rd restriction.

EXPLANATION:

According to problem we have to follow two restriction mainly, 2nd one and 3rd one.
For this we can fix one condition and apply inclusion-exclusion on 3rd condition, we can do this because B contain unique elements otherwise inclusion-exclusion will not work.
Lets first find the total number of array which follow 1st and 2nd restriction. So we have to select n number from among m choices and have to permute them, which is \binom{m}{n}n\,!.

Now lets find the number of array where 1st , 2nd restriction are followed but 3rd restriction is not followed at single position. For that we need number of position where B[i] \leq M, lets assume this is P,now we will select the position where we are going to violate and now fill n-1 position among m-1 choices, so the number of array are \binom{P}{1}*\binom{m-1}{n-1}*(n-1)!.

Now lets find the number of ways where 1st and 2nd restriction are followed but 3rd restriciton is not followed at x position, so we have to choose x position where we are going to violate the condition and choose n-x number from m-x choices and then permute them, so the number or array are \binom{P}{x}*\binom{m-x}{n-x}*(n-x)!.

Now by applying inclusion-exclusion principle, total number of array are:-

\binom{m}{n}n\,! - \binom{P}{1}*\binom{m-1}{n-1}*(n-1)! + \binom{P}{2}*\binom{m-2}{n-2}*(n-2)! + ... +(-1)^P*\binom{P}{P}*\binom{m-P}{n-P}*(n-P)!.
This can be implemented in O(N).

Easy to Understand! Thanks:)

Can you please explain this line in more detail?

From where to learn inclusion - exclusion for c++?

https://cp-algorithms.com/combinatorics/inclusion-exclusion.html

I have a doubt on why and how exactly do we use inclusion-exclusion here?

Because there are intersections among the sets.

It will be hard to explain inclusion-exclusion in a comment, i would recommend you to go through this.

When you want to calculate union of sets and they overlap then we apply inclusion-exclusion. It would be more clear if you read this.

Hey all,

Can somebody point out what wrong here, I have implemented the same logic, but still somehow. I manage to get wrong ans.
Thanks in advance.
Only subtask 7 fails, rest all are passed. Now I have no clue how to debug the code. If someone can help, it would be great.
