this is the editorial we all need after every codeforces contest. salute!

I love his speed.. as soon as the contest ends, explanations are out!! Thanks for the awesome content!!

Writing explanations during ongoing contest - next level ;)

If such a video comes after each codeforces round, I am going to click on a bell icon! As usual, a great explanation!! Thanks buddy :):)

In problem B, repeating the first b letters of the alphabet until the length of the string is n works as well. 7 5 3 abcabca 11 7 4 abcdabcdabc

The second i saw you came 26th I waited for this :)) Thanks for the quick posts!

My first contest to solve 4 problems. You're a genius.

Simple approaches, love this !

thank you so much for this!

Thanks for returning to the normal routine ♥️♥️

That problem D solution was the single biggest brain thing that I've ever seen, I'm quite literally shaking, both from awe and anger that my answer was so unnecessarily complicated

That helped a lot, thanks!

Bruh my solution on D was so much more complex than yours, to think that I could have done it by only changing e.g. the 2's to 1 ARGH it hurts my brain that I didn't think of that. Luckily I still got it right. Awesome video anyways, keep making them!

Thank you so much brother for putting up this content! Please keep doing it!! You know me from Discord btw.. :P :P. Thanks a lot for this!!!

i m just fan of u,editorial all we need

Great Work You just make solutions look so easy👍

Simple and clear explanation thanks :)

Thank you very much

i liked your effort

For D I considered the following (i,j) (0,0) (1,3) (2,6) (3,1) (4,4) (5,7) (6,2) (7,5) (8,8) then if (sudoko[i][j]==1)sudoko[i][j] = 2; else sudoko[i][j] = 1; and printed the sudoko array

In Problem E as you are keeping nested for loop which has 40000 iterarions and t is till 10^4 so overall it is 4* 10^8 which should give TLE

Nice editorial

William can you do video about your vim setup ?

The Explanations are quite great but really missing the face cam during the actual submission during contests.

Thank you for the video William! What hardware & sofware are you using for your drawings?

Approach for anti- suduko is legendary

For problem D: A single change in a row will satisfy all the 3 conditions. A single change means picking a value and changing it with between 1 to 9 except the picked value.

I solved the frst 3 problem but not able to solve last 4 thanks it helped a lot be sure to make after all contests

A little bit more advanced version of first problem can be framed as ,given n candies, distribute them among k students such that a1>a2>...>ak and n=a1+a2+a3... ak. This came through my mind because, initially I didn't see the fact that there are only 2 sisters. So I thought combinations with repetions can be used here, because you have n candies and you have some poles (sisters) that will separate those candies between sisters, number of ways to do that will (n+k-1) choose (k-1) where n is the candies and k is the number of students (here two sisters). Because of the fact it is 2, the equation becomes, (n) choose (1) which is n. But to handle the fact that a>b, we have to give the first half initially to a and distribute the rest. So a always gets n/2+1 candies and remaining is distributed. So after that I realized this can be extended to more interesting version, as stated above and could be B or C problem in div3

Ohh man, Dth one is simplest but I failed to think this and got WA, I am dying now

Sick

hey , in problem E2 will the O(n*(max(array)) will work ? and what's your time complexity ?

Liked that you use vim.

Hi there thanks a lot for your wellmade vid. I am a newbie in cp and this div3 was my first comp and i dont have anyone to discuss my code about and i couldnt check what went wrong with my logic for the contests because they dont show the test cases output. I was thinking if you have any suggestions for my situation, like is there any forum out there for peer reviewing and casual discussion?

Instead of doing (n-1)/2, I was doing (n/2)-1... It wasn't working for so long until I did some random stuff and made it work out somehow

I got TLE for E2, if I didn't write - if(occ[a].size() == 1) continue; So is this the efficient solution or are testcases week?? I am unable to write anything on your discord so I wrote here.

I want to see how you write cf and after explanations/ make next time "cf winning" it is very interesting to see how somebody write cf

剛考完就有解釋可以看😂

Can you make video how to set up compiler , gvim and etc for competitive programming, please? I think it will useful not only for me. Thanks!

If in dfs1 first two nodes are in the cycle then dfs1 will not set visited1 other nodes connected to this component and when they will be again in dfs1 it will be considered as a cycle which is wrong. Am I wrong somewhere? Please correct me if so

I mean I spend 1.5 hours to understand 2 and got an error, but u solved it in one sec XD

Can you do your environment setup?

why is it necessary to push n at the end of each occ vector in E?

Whats the name of the drawing board software?

I just love your codeforces editorials. for problem c : can we directly do this : say x = max. freq of an element in array y = unique elements in array - 1 (remove this guy x ) if( x == y) result -> x if( y > x ) result -> x if( x > y) result is min(x - 1, y + 1) ??

Which digital pen do you use in onenote

in problem D a valid answer could be to change only the main diagonal by '1' and if there is already a '1' in that position, then a '2' would be placed, right? Since we changed at least 9 numbers and changing the diagonal would make the entire sudoku change and be wrong. I tried to do it that way but I got WA in the first test. Why do I get a WA if I am already fulfilling the conditions?

Please make on codeforces rating system

What gvim theme are you using?

Please consider adding timestamps for problems.

Plz give soln of education round 85 as well of codeforces

Thanks brother please also upload the div 3 that will going to happen on 21th april😍😍😍😘😘😘

why did you reverse the edges?

which editor do you use..

What IDE do you use?

dude u did not doo codechef long challenge ..

please let me know the name of the font

Hello. I am a very beginner. I could only solve 2 problems in contest time. And in almost every contest I can solve 1 or 2 problems. What approach should I take to improve from there?

Can you provide link to your code??

Is this in cpp?

Bro you have some problem in clarifying qs c

牛逼！

if(c[u[0]][u[1]]&1^1) ++a[d%cyc.size()]; how this worked in problem F c[u[0]][u[1]] this will give char value shouldn't it should be converted to int

Can i have this code

My 2hr is equal to ur 8min

First

do you stick your mic inside your mouth whats that wierd sounds you make?
