First DP formula like 1 + min max (a[i - 1, k-1], a[n - i,k ]) is NOT GOOD! In pascal it gets TLE!
Take more clever formula!!!

I hope that all tests take into account the multiplicative function condition: F(1) == G(1) == 1

what are mistakes in this code?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
long long int a[15000];
long long int b[1000000];
int main()
{
    int c, f, d, e, g,l;
    l = 0;
    cin >> c;
    for (f = 0; f != c; f++)
    {
        cin >> a[f];
    }
    cin >> d;
    for (e = 0; e != d; e++)
    {
        cin >> b[e];
    }
    for (e = 0; e != d; e++)
    {
        g = b[e];
        for (f = 0; f != c; f++)
        {
            if (g == a[f])
            {
                l = l++;
                break;
            }

        }
    }
    cout << l << endl;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

I got AC with O(N*sqrt(N)),but my solution is very hard(274 lines and many different subtasks). Who can say simple solution(idea without code)?

После того как сайт проверил мою задачу, я решил проверить несколько частных случаев
и в одном у меня программа ломалась, но это не помешало ей пройти проверку.
Входные данные:
5 4
1 2
2 3
3 4
4 5
Ответ 2 и 23 и 45, но должно быть 2 и 12 и 45

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
unsigned long long n,a,b,c,s;
int i;
unsigned long long  x[100001];
memset(x,0,sizeof(x));
cin>>n;
for (i=1;i<=n+1;i++)
{
cin>>a>>b>>c;
x[a]=x[a]+c;
x[b+1]=x[b+1]-c;
};s=0;
for (i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
s=s+x[i];
if (i==n) cout<<s<<endl; else
cout<<s<<" ";
}
};

Try std::unordered_map instead of std::map. This one helped me

Where is my mistake?
I have WA on test 2!!!

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
    char c;
    int i,n,br=0,b=0,l=1;
    while (cin>>c)
    {
        if (c=='!'||c=='?'||c=='.') l=1;
        else
        {
            if (c>='a'&&c<='z')
            if (l==1) br++;
            if (c>='A'&&c<='Z')
            if (l==0) br++;
            l=0;
        }
        if (c=='!'||c=='?'||c=='.')
        {
            if (br>0) b+=1;
            br=0;
        }
    }
    cout<<b<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Spend 10 submissions to realise, that I don't return anything from function, that must return bool value

Suppose we want to calculate max({A * a[i] + B * a[i + 1], A * a[i + 1] + B * a[i]}) for i = 0..n-1 (in this problem A = 0, B = 1). Then answer(A, B, n) = max(answer(max(A, B), A + B, n/2), A * a[n - 1] + B * a[n], B * a[n - 1] + A * a[n]), so it can be solved recursively.

Sort elements by count and use some combinatorics

What happens when the order is greater than 1e9? Wouldn't a permutation with cycle lengths equal to first N primes easily exceed order 1e9? For example lcm ( 3, 5, 7.. 29 )

Got this by first try, I didn't opened IDE, didnt'y opened even notepad. I wrote it right in the input box. Too easy.

Always got TLE 43. I've tried different optimization on python, but nothing work. C++ with same code and std::getline optimization got AC with almost TLE 300-350msec. And as I see no one has AC with Python =\

I tried to solve this task by dp and bfs, but always have a TL on test 3.

what the data test 9

Even after reading all the posts here. Please help.
1. assert program is shorter than input
2. assert no long lines in source code
3. split string literal into vectors
4. assert no '\r' but '\n' after reading input
5. output with std::cout and '\n'
6. many tests and asserts

===this is an example of archive===
might be overkill to use Huffman and base64
shorten variable names in actual archive
