back to boardUnderrated problem Posted by raggzy 3 Jul 2014 20:40 1. If you read some discussion, you may have found out, that there is `simple` algo solution, which just does A^M, and sums all final states counts (here A - is transition matrix of automaton built by `bad words`) Yes, it is cool, algorithmic, etc. But personally I've completely forgotten the 1st year of university, and after reading that I felt little shame, which results in not willing to implement that. 2. DP This is one of hardest DP I've ever thought about. It took me for almost 3 weeks of `background-thinking`. Although, when you came to the function, which is `DP-able` - code looks small, etc. But still, the function is hard to come to. Personally, i felt pure happiness after got my DP ACed. Actually I'm writing this post affected by this happiness :) Like in school :) Wish u the same when u solve it! I'd rate it as `one of the hardest problem` in this volume, if there was only DP solution and no automaton analogy. If someone can invent similar problem, but without automaton solution - would be very cool! |
