Description

鼹鼠是一种很喜欢挖洞的动物，但每过一定的时间，它还是喜欢把头探出到地面上来透透气的。根据这个特点阿Q编写了一个打鼹鼠的游戏：在一个n*n的网格中，在某些时刻鼹鼠会在某一个网格探出头来透透气。你可以控制一个机器人来打鼹鼠，如果i时刻鼹鼠在某个网格中出现，而机器人也处于同一网格的话，那么这个鼹鼠就会被机器人打死。而机器人每一时刻只能够移动一格或停留在原地不动。机器人的移动是指从当前所处的网格移向相邻的网格，即从坐标为（i,j）的网格移向(i-1, j),(i+1, j),(i,j-1),(i,j+1)四个网格，机器人不能走出整个n*n的网格。游戏开始时，你可以自由选定机器人的初始位置。现在你知道在一段时间内，鼹鼠出现的时间和地点，希望你编写一个程序使机器人在这一段时间内打死尽可能多的鼹鼠。

Input

第一行为n（n<=1000）, m（m<=10000），其中m表示在这一段时间内出现的鼹鼠的个数，接下来的m行每行有三个数据time,x,y表示有一只鼹鼠在游戏开始后time个时刻，在第x行第y个网格里出现了一只鼹鼠。Time按递增的顺序给出。注意同一时刻可能出现多只鼹鼠，但同一时刻同一地点只可能出现一只鼹鼠。

Output

仅包含一个正整数，表示被打死鼹鼠的最大数目

Sample Input

2 2
1 1 1
2 2 2

Sample Output

1

My Translation

Moles appear on a 2-D grid on certain points at certain times. A robot knows when the moles will emerge and where they will emerge, and starts at the most optimal location possible. The robot can only move one cell up, down, left, or right in one unit of time, but it can stay there to whack a mole. How many moles can it whack?

Limits

Grid size is at most 1000 by 1000
No more than 10,000 moles

Things to Realize

  • Instead of mimicking the robot, moving on a 2-D grid (as if it was in depth-first search), store the x-location and the y-location of the mole in a one-dimensional array.
  • Because of the above, the grid size is unimportant - 1000 is by far able to fit in an "int" without overflow.
  • The moles we whack is a sequence, and we want the longest possible sequence - hmm. LONGEST possible SEQUENCE? We can use LIS!
But for LIS, there's always something that determines whether an element can go next to that element. What is that for this?
In order for, say mole J, to be next to mole I in the whacked sequence, then the distance between I and J has to be no more than their difference in time they appear.
From that point on, it's roughly the same a Longest Increasing Subsequence.

My Code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int t[10005], x[10005], y[10005], b[10005];
int main()
{
    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
    cin.tie(NULL);
    int _, m; cin >> _ >> m;
    for(int i=0; i<m; i++) { cin >> t[i] >> x[i] >> y[i]; b[i] = 1; }
    int best = 1;
    for(int ind=m-1; ind>=0; ind--)
    {
        for(int j=ind+1; j<m; j++)
            if(abs(x[ind] - x[j]) + abs(y[ind] - y[j]) <= abs(t[ind] - t[j]))
                b[ind] = max(b[ind], b[j] + 1);
        best = max(best, b[ind]);
    }
    cout << best << endl;
}

USACO Training "subset": Subset Sums

USACO Training "subset": Subset Sums Problem Statement Subset Sums JRM For many sets of consecutive integers from 1 through N (1 <= N <= 39), one can partition the set into two sets whose sums are identical. For example, if N=3, one can partition the set {1, 2, 3} in one way so that the sums of both subsets are identical: {3} and {1,2} This counts as a single partitioning (i.e., reversing the order counts as the same partitioning and thus does not increase the count of partitions). If N=7, there are four ways to partition the set {1, 2, 3, ... 7} so that each partition has the same sum: {1,6,7} and {2,3,4,5} {2,5,7} and {1,3,4,6} {3,4,7} and {1,2,5,6} {1,2,4,7} and {3,5,6} Given N, your program should print the number of ways a set containing the integers from 1 through N can be partitioned into two sets whose sums are identical. Print 0 if there are no such ways. Your program must calculate the answer, not look it up from a table. PROGRAM NAME: s...

USACO 2018 Open Talent Show In Short Given N objects with value Vi and weight Wi, a collection of elements is said to have total value-to-weight ratio as (the sum of their value) divided by (the sum of their weight). Find the best possible value-to-weight ratio of these X objects, given the restraint that the collection must have total weight at least W. Return that ratio multiplied by 1000 and floored. Analysis It would be very difficult to calculate this optimal ratio - we'd have to either try all possible collections - O(2^n), where n is at most 250, about 10 to the power of 75 calculations, OR use a greedy heuristic - get the objects with the best ratio until it satisfies the weight limit. Neither of those are too to our liking, so how about searching for it? The search space is linear and not infinite - it asks for the ratio to the closest thousandths. The search space is sorted as well - if ratio X is achievable, then ratio Y < X is also achievable, if...

UVA 787 and Big Number Multiplication

UVA 787 and Big Number Multiplication Problem Background: Big Numbers in this problem Big numbers are effectively storing sequence of digit chunks and directly manipulating them as if they were a large number. The most intuitive way to do this is to make an array where every element is a digit, but this is not effectively using the memory. Hence, it is logical to store numbers "millions at a time", i.e. 324876498726832746  [2]  | [1] | [0] like that. Necessities to Implement Notice that although this problem may LOOK like DP, it's really solvable by O(N^2) enumeration. Also notice that in this enumeration we will only be multiplying a large number with a normal number. Pseudocode for algorithm: CREATE LargeNumber NAME best SET -INFINITY FOR EACH i BETWEEN 0 and LENGTH OF list DO:     CREATE LargeNumber NAME product SET 1     FOR EACH j BETWEEN i AND LENGTH OF list DO         SET product TO product TIMES list[j] ...
