A: Disposition
Bob likes to watch the weather change so he wants to know todays forecast. He has a list of N different numbers representing ai, the air pressure at various times of the day. Bob can tell the weather using only these numbers, but to do so he first needs to sort them in non-decreasing order based on the value of ai mod k, given k. For example, if k = 5 then the number 11 would come before 7 in the sorted array because 11 mod 5 is less than 7 mod 5. If the value of ai mod k is equal to the value of aj mod k for some i and j, then they must be sorted based on the values ai and aj (That is if ai < aj then ai comes before aj). Sort the array in this way for Bob.
Input
The first line contains two integers N and k as described above (1 N 105, 1 k 105). The second line of input contains N integers where the ith number represents ai (1 ai 109).
Output
Print N integers in the sorted order as described in the question.
input
5 2
- 2 3 4 5
output
- 4 1 3 5
explanation
2 and 4 must come before the rest since they have a value 0 mod 2 and 1, 3, and 5 have a value 1 mod 2. Now 2 and 4 must be ordered based on their values and the same goes for 1,3, and 5.
B: Reflection
It soon becomes night and Bob likes to talk to the moon before going to sleep. The moon tells him that the light is not her own but that of a thousand reflections passing over her. Bob noticed a row of N pine trees that was illuminated by the light, the ith pine tree having a height hi. He decided that he wants them to be sorted in non-decreasing order. To do this, he can divide the entire array of trees into contiguous segments such that each tree belongs to exactly one segment. He can then sort all the elements within each segment in non-decreasing order independently from the other segments. He must now choose segments such that after performing this operation, the entire array of trees is sorted in non-decreasing order. Bob doesnt want to waste energy on sorting so he wants to choose segments such that the number of segments chosen is as large as possible. Can you help Bob out?
Input
The first line contains an integer N representing the number of trees (1 N 105). The next line contains N numbers representing the height of the ith tree hi (1 hi 109).
Output
Print a single integer, the largest possible number of segments you can choose satisfying the above conditions.
input 4
2 1 3 2
output 2
explanation
Here the optimal groups would be positions 1,2 in the first group and 3,4 in the second group. We can easily see that if we sort each segment individually the entire array will also be sorted.
C: Triad
Since this is the finale of Bobs trilogy, he decides to keep quiet and let the work be done by a bunch of machines. Bob is actually a winemaker, but hes a little weird and uses watermelons instead of grapes. He plans to use these machines to crush watermelons to use in his wine. There are N machines where the ith machine takes time ti to crush one watermelon. These machines can work simultaneously and independent of each other but one machine can only be crushing one watermelon at a time. You can assign a machine to begin crushing a watermelon at any time as long as the aforementioned rule is not violated. You can also use a machine more than once. Can you help Bob find the shortest amount of time needed to completely crush k watermelons?
Input
The first input line has two integers N (1 N 105) and k (1 k 109): the number of machines and watermelons. The next line has N integers where ti (1 ti 109) represents the time needed for the ith machine to crush one watermelon.
Output
Output a single integer representing the shortest time needed to completely crush k watermelons.
input
3 7
3 2 5
output 8
explanation
The optimal way in this case would be for machine 1 to crush two watermelons, machine 2 to crush 4 watermelons and machine 3 to crush 1 watermelon. This would take a total time of 8
D: ANC Orders
The ANC burger stall, which serves only one dish Jalapeno Poppers, is open for N minutes every night. Each minute, Si tired and hungry students return from the library and attempt to order a plate of Jalapeno Poppers. To order food, the ANC employee takes each students ID card and scans it with a barcode reader. The barcode scanner needs to be temporarily restarted in the minute, and all students who arrive in these minutes will immediately leave (and will not come back) when they realise the barcode machine isnt working. The owner has a backup barcode scanner that works perfectly for exactly X minutes, without requiring these maintenance cycles, and then shut down permanently. What would be the optimal time to activate this backup device, if the owner wants to serve as many students as possible?
Input
The first line contains two integers N, k and X (1 k,X N 5 106), where N is the number of minutes the shop remains open and k is the number of minutes the barcode scanner doesnt work. The next line contains N space separated integers S0,S1,SN1 denoting the number of students arriving in the zeroeth, first (N 1)th minute (1 Si 100). The third line of input contains k (sorted) space separated integers r1,r2rk meaning that the barcode scanner doesnt work in these k minutes. Note that time here is 0-indexed.
Output
Print two space separated integers (1) how many students the shop serves without the extra barcode machine and (2) the maximal number of students the shop could serve if it optimally uses the second barcode machine.
input
5 2 1
1 0 1 2 1
0 3
output
2 4
explanation
Since the backup barcode scanner can work for one minute exactly, we can choose to use it at time, t = 0 or t = 3. We choose t = 3 since more students are coming in then.
E: Anomaly Detection
Anomalies are points that dont fit the trend of the rest of the data. Anomaly detection is the identification of rare items and points like these, representing that differ from the majority of the data by a lot. Rahul, a Data Scient PS2 intern at Macrobook, is attempting to implement a simple anomaly detection algorithm developed by research scientists at the company. Since Rahul has never written C code before, he approaches you for help. The algorithm is explained as follows:
You are given N data points each consisting of coordinates (xi,yi), where both coordinates are not integers (guaranteed to be floats). It is guaranteed that all N points will lie inside the square formed by the points (0, 0), (C,0), (A,D), (0,D), where C and D are two positive integers. We divide the X-axis into C intervals (or buckets) namely x=0 to x=1, x=1 to x=2 and so on till x = C-1 to x = C. Similarly, the Y-axis is divided into D equally spaced buckets of unit size. These intervals form a 2D grid in the plane, with each point being located inside one X bucket and one Y bucket each let us call these B(xi) and B(yi) respectively. The algorithm then assigns a normality score to each point Ni = count(B(xi)) count(B(yi)), where count(B) represents the number of points in that specific bucket. The k points with the least normality scores are anomalies and should be outputted. If there is a tie in scores, resolve them by outputting the one with lesser index in the original array.
Input
The first line consists of four space separated integers N (1 N 107) , C, D (1 C,D 103), k (1 k N). The next N lines contain two space separated floats each representing xi and yi (0 < xi < C,0 < yi < D) representing the ith point, with i being zero-indexed.
Output
Print k space separated integers, representing the indices of the k anomalous points in non- order of normality scores.
input
4 10 10 2
3.1 3.2
3.3 7.7
9.1 3.2
0.1 2.9
output
3 1
explanation
The normality scores of the four points are 4, 2, 2, 1 respectively. The least score is of index 3s so we output that. For the next highest we notice a tie between the
1st and 2nd index elements. We output the lesser of these indices, i.e. 1
F: Array Operations (Again)
You are initially given an array A and a set of T instructions that you must evaluate sequentially, in order. Each instruction T is a number Ti which means that you should rotate the array left by Ti places. After executing each instruction, print the first and last element of the resulting array.
Input
The first line consists of two space separated integers, N and T (2 T 102), where N (0 < N < 104) is the size of the array A (0 Ai 109). The second line contains N space separated integers, the elements of A. The third line of input contains T space separated integers representing the instructions (0 Ti N).
Output
Output T lines, each line containing two integers representing the first and last elements of the array after executing ith query.
input
5 2
3 2 1 4 5
- 2
output
- 3
4 1
explanation after the first operation, the array becomes 2 1 4 5 3. After the second operation the array becomes 4 5 3 2 1.
G: Maximal Descendent Distance
You are given a binary tree, consisting of positive integer values only, and each node is guaranteed to have a unique value. The binary tree is represented as an array A of size N. A[0] is the root of the tree and for a given node i, (2i+1) and (21+2) represent the left and right child respectively. If A[i] = 1 for any i, that means that the node i does not exist. Given two numbers a and b:
- find the location of both of these in the binary tree. If any one or both of these keys dont exist, print -1.
- Identify two nodes a0 and b0, which are leaf nodes and are descendants of a and b respectively, such that the hamming distance between values stored in nodes a0 and b0 respectively is minimized.
- Print one integer, representing this minimal hamming distance.
Note: The hamming distance between two integers is defined as the number of bits that are different in the binary representations of the number. eg. Hamming distance between 3 (011) and 4 (100) is 3.
Note 2: Every node is considered to be a descendent of itself.
Input
The first line consists of three space separated integer N (1 N 104), a, b. The next line consists of N space separated integers (Ai) representing the value of each node in the binary tree (1 Ai 105, or Ai = 1).
Output
Output one integer, the minimum hamming distance, as described in the problem.
input
7 2 3
1 2 3 -1 -1 4 5
output 2
explanation
The only possible leaf-descendent of 2 is 2. The possible leaf-descendants of 3 are 4 and 5. Hamming distance of (2, 4) = 2 and hamming distance of (2, 5) = 3. Minimal of these distances is the answer.
H: Special String Activities
You are given a string consisting of alphabets and brackets ()[]. It is guaranteed that the brackets are balanced. You need to process the string by:
- Reverse substrings that are located within (). For eg. (aksj) becomes jska after processing. (brackets removed).
- Increment all characters located within []. For eg. [abcd] becomes bcde after processing (brackets removed). The character z would become a after incrementing.
- Process the brackets from innermost bracket to outermost bracket.
Print the processed string.
Input
The first line contains a string as described in the question above. It is guaranteed that the length of the string 104.
Output
Output one line, consisting of only lowercase English alphabets, denoting the processed string.
input abcdegfg output abcdegfg
input a(bc)deg[fg] output acbdeggh
input a(bc[de]gf)g output afgfecbg
input a[[[b]]]bujshs((dg)) output aebujshsdg
I: All Might vs The League of Villains
The league of villains was finally able to corner the great hero All Might. Underestimating his valor, they all decide to charge at him at once. As All Mights sidekick, you (Dave) see the locations of all the villains and All Might as points (with X and Y coordinates) on your radar. You know that the bottom-most point (the minimum y-coordinate) on the radar corresponds to that of All Might. You recommend to fend off the villains in a in a single counter clockwise sweep (see sample case for clarity). Help All Might defend himself against the league of villains in a counter clockwise manner. If more than one villain has the same orientation with respect to All Might, you suggest All Might to first fend off the villain who is closer to him (in terms of manhattan distance). Assume that All Might does not move from his point.
Input
The first line of input contains a single integer N (2 N 105) denoting the number of points on your radar. Each of the following N lines contain three space-separated integers P, XP, YP (1 P N, 109 XP , YP 109) denoting an index number and its corresponding coordinates as you see on your radar. It is guaranteed the coordinates given will result in a unique bottom-most point.
Output
Print a sequence of N-1 integers (B), where Bi denotes the index of the villain he fends off in the ith instant (in counter-clockwise direction). Figure for sample testcase-1 is given below.
