| back to board | 1003- Why just 2 seconds? Posted by Ksenya  29 Dec 2003 22:08I think 2 seconds is bad Time Limit. Also I don't know how many inputtests contains each test.
 So I tried everything: like binary search and hash-function. But
 always TLE.
 Do you think 2 seconds is enough time?
Re: 1003- Why just 2 seconds? Posted by buggzy  28 Mar 2004 22:05There is at least O(n*n) algorithm for 1003.Re: 1003- Why just 2 seconds? I solved it in O(n*n) time and get AC in 0.125 sec. So, 2 seconds is enough timelimit for this problem.Re: 1003- Why just 2 seconds? Posted by buggzy  29 Mar 2004 10:53My algo is:
 Each point have attibutes "parity" and "connectivity compontent number". When processing each segment, we check if it
 - form a new connectivity component - O(1)
 - extends existing connectivity components - O(1)
 - connects existing CCs - O(N) for glue operation
 - form a cycle in the existing CC - O(1)
 
 This stage is O(n*n). It's quite enought for AC, but I'm still interested in more efficient algorithm :) Any ideas? :)
