Is there a possibility for having a separate ranklist (kind of unofficial) for DIV1 participants,even a combined will also be not a problem.

3

Why do you want a separate ranklist though ?

4

Even if it’s combined it’s cool, I don’t know whether the ranklist will show DIV1 participants too. :sweat_smile:

5

Now I understood your point, it’s a valid question indeed. @darklight13 can you please clarify if DIV-1 people will be featured in any rank list or not as in the last only DIV-2 rated round I got to know my rank after a month or something when the combined rank list was released(that too on a google excel sheet :expressionless:)

6

Yeah, there will be a separate ranklist for DIV1 participants, I think it will be live as well. I will update one I get confirmation from codechef.

7

That would be great! thanks for informing

Will questions contain subtasks?

12

No, the contest will be ICPC style so binary marks on problem and each problem is of equal points.

You can use Difference Array | Range update query in O(1) - GeeksforGeeks
trick and do prefix sum twice instead of once.
Time complexity : O(n)
Segment tree is an overkill
