I'm trying to learn C#, so I'm doing assignments on open.kattis.com. I have three variables called A, B and C and have to print them in a given order. A is the smallest variable, B is the middle variable and C is the largest variable.

I give the variables 1, 2, 5 and the order ABC, so the output print is 1 2 5 I give the variables 1, 10, 22 and the order CAB, so the output is 22 1 10

My question however is to improve my code. Right now I'm checking the input-order in a switch-case and was wondering if there is a better way.

My submission can be seen here:

I'm tring to do this kattis problem (Sort of Sorting), but my code only gets past the first trial. I've tried with my own sample cases and I don't see why it shouldn't work. Can someone check my code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I am stuck with the Pot task from Kattis where I should make a program which calculates following:

X = number1^pow1 + number2^pow2 + … + numberN^powN

X = P1 + P2 + .... + PN

For example my program should convert X = 212 + 1253 to X = 21^2 + 125^3.

This is Kattis sample input and output:

Sample Input: 2, 212, 1253

Sample Output: 1953566

But my code prints out the wrong answer, it prints out 1954378.

Here is my code:

I have implemented a Disjoint Set Union in C++ for a Kattis problem. However, my solution is inefficient, as I get TLA (Time Limit Exceeded) for the first hidden test case. Can anyone spot an inefficiency with my code?

I have based my implementation on this article. In particular, I set the parent of the parent of the smaller set to the parent of the bigger set (when making an union of the sets). According to the mentioned article, this should be as efficient as using the rank:

Both optimizations are equivalent in terms of time and space complexity. So in practice you can use any of them.

My code exceeds the time limit at test case 23. I have used dfs to traverse the connected houses. I did everything I could to optimize from my side. Kattis problem: where's my internet?

I have spent significant amount of time to figure out how to create algorithm for this problem. So basically, we can calculate the height of triangle with given 3 segments. But what if two or more segments are added? It is going to form a new triangle stick to the other. But I could not calculate the height. Thanks for any help.

I'm solving Kattis' bokforing problem and one of the test cases fails due to execution time being too long (> 2 sec). Can anyone give me any advice on how I can improve?

I am once again trying to solve a problem to practice for the upcoming USACO contest, and am having trouble meeting the time limit of 1 second: https://open.kattis.com/contests/v4xrif/problems/knigsoftheforest

All moose are knigs of the forest, but your latest moose-friend, Karl-Älgtav, is more interesting than most. In part because of his fondness of fermented blueberries, and in part because of the tribe he lives in. Each year his tribe holds a tournament to determine that year’s alpha-moose. The winner gets to lead the tribe for a year, and then permanently leaves the tribe. The pool of contenders stays constant over the years, apart from the old alpha-moose being replaced by a newcomer in each tournament.

Karl-Älgtav has recently begun to wonder when it will be his turn to win, and has asked you to help him determine this. He has supplied a list of the strength of each of the other moose in his tribe that will compete during the next n−1 years, along with their time of entry into the tournament. Assuming that the winner each year is the moose with greatest strength, determine when Karl-Älgtav becomes the alpha-moose.

Input The first line of input contains two space separated integers k (1≤k≤100000) and n (1≤n≤100000), denoting the size of the tournament pool and the number of years for which you have been supplied sufficient information.

Next is a single line describing Karl-Älgtav, containing the two integers y (2011≤y≤2011+n−1) and p (0≤p≤2^31−1). These are his year of entry into the tournament and his strength, respectively.

Then follow n+k−2 lines describing each of the other moose, in the same format as for Karl-Älgtav.

Note that exactly k of the moose will have 2011 as their year of entry, and that the remaining n−1 moose will have unique years of entry.

You may assume that the strength of each moose is unique.

Output The year Karl-Älgtav wins the tournament, or unknown if the given data is insufficient for determining this.

I am trying to solve this problem with Python, and it has a CPU time limit of 1 second and a memory limit of 1024 megabytes: https://open.kattis.com/contests/v4xrif/problems/grandpabernie

Over the years, Grandpa Bernie has traveled all over the world. He doesn’t travel that much anymore, but he loves to tell his grandchildren stories from all these trips. He’ll tell them the story from when he went to Israel for the first time, or when he went to Greece for the third time.

His memory works in a funny way. He can easily remember his k:th trip to a particular country, but he’ll have a hard time remembering in which year he went on that trip. Given a list of all the trips Grandpa Bernie went on, can you answer a number of queries asking in which year he went on his k:th trip to a particular country?

Input The input consists of:

one line with one integer n (1≤n≤100000), the number of trips Grandpa Bernie went on;

n lines each containing the name s (1≤|s|≤20) of a country and an integer y (1≤y≤1000000) representing a trip to country s that Grandpa Bernie went on in year y;

one line with one integer q (1≤q≤100000), the number of queries;

q lines each containing the name s of a country and an integer k representing a query for the k:th time Grandpa Bernie went to country s.

Each country name only consists of letters from the English alphabet. It is also guaranteed that, for each query asking for the k:th trip to country s, k is at least 1 and no greater than the number of times Grandpa Bernie went to country s. In particular, it is guaranteed that Grandpa Bernie has visited country s at least once.

Output For each query for the k:th trip Grandpa Bernie went to a country s, output a single line containing the year in which Grandpa Bernie went on that trip.
