[Solution] Make Them Alike Solution Codechef

by

[Solution] Make Them Alike Solution Codechef You are given a permutation �P of length �N, an array �A of size �N, and an integer �M. Initially, 0≤��≤�0≤Ai​≤M. Consider an array �′A′ obtained from �A by replacing all zeros in �A with positive integers less than equal to �M. The array �′A′ will then be transformed as follows, in �N steps: In the ��ℎith step, we set ��′=���′Ai′​=APi​′​. The initial array �′A′ is said to be beautiful, if, after the transformation of �N steps, all elements of array �′A′ are equal. … Read more

[Solution] Good Permutations Solution Codechef You are given two arrays �A and �B, each of size �N. Let �P denote a permutation length �N. The permutation �P is said to be good, if you can make an array �C where: ��=��+���Ci​=Ai​+BPi​​ or ��=��−���Ci​=Ai​−BPi​​, for all (1≤�≤�)(1≤i≤N); All elements of �C are equal. Out of the �!N! possible permutations, find the count of good permutations. Since the count can be huge, output it modulo 109+7109+7. Note that a permutation … Read more

You need to find an �×�N×N matrix such that: Each element of the matrix is an integer from 11 to �2N2; All elements of the matrix are unique; The absolute difference between elements in neighbouring cells is strictly greater than 11. It can be shown that there is at least one matrix that satisfies the … Read more

[Solution] Make A-B Same Solution Codechef

by

Make A-B Same Solution Codechef You are given two binary arrays �A and �B, each of size �N (�≥3)(N≥3). You can perform the following operation on array �A: Select three indexes �,�,i,j, and �k (1≤�<�<�≤�)(1≤i<j<k≤N), and set ��=��Aj​=Ai​ ∣∣ ��Aj​ ∣∣ ��Ak​. Here ∣∣ denotes the bitwise OR operation. Determine whether it is possible to convert the array �A to array �B by applying any (possibly zero) number of given operations. Note that, in a binary array each element is either 00 or 11. Input … Read more

Rearrange Array to Maximize Prefix Score Solution

by

Rearrange Array to Maximize Prefix Score Solution You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. You can rearrange the elements of nums to any order (including the given order). Let prefix be the array containing the prefix sums of nums after rearranging it. In other words, prefix[i] is the sum of the elements from 0 to i in nums after rearranging it. The score of nums is the number of positive integers in the array prefix. Return the maximum score … Read more
