Snake Procession CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest

Snake Procession CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest Question: The annual snake festival is upon us, and all the snakes of the kingdom have gathered to participate in the procession. Chef has been tasked with reporting on the procession, and for this he decides to first keep track of all the snakes. When he sees a snake first, it'll be its Head, and hence he will mark a 'H'. The snakes are long, and when he sees the snake finally slither away, he'll mark a 'T' to denote its tail. In the time in between, when the snake is moving past him, or the time between one snake and the next snake, he marks with '.'s. Because the snakes come in a procession, and one by one, a valid report would be something like "..H..T…HTH….T.", or "…", or "HT", whereas "T…H..H.T", "H..T..H", "H..H..T..T" would be invalid reports (See explanations at the bottom). Formally, a snake is represented by a 'H&

Qualifying to Pre-Elimination CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest

Qualifying to Pre-Elimination CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest Question: Snackdown 2019 is coming! There are two rounds (round A and round B) after the qualification round. From both of them, teams can qualify to the pre-elimination round. According to the rules, in each of these two rounds, teams are sorted in descending order by their score and each team with a score greater or equal to the score of the team at the K = 1500 K = 1500 -th place advances to the pre-elimination round (this means it is possible to have more than K K qualified teams from each round in the case of one or more ties after the K K -th place). Today, the organizers ask you to count the number of teams which would qualify for the pre-elimination round from round A for a given value of K K (possibly different from 1500 1500 ). They provided the scores of all teams to you; you should ensure that all teams scoring at least as many points as the K K -th team qualify. Input: The first line

Chef and Typing CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest

Chef and Typing CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest Question: Chef is practising his typing skills since his current typing speed is very low. He uses a training application that displays some words one by one for Chef to type. When typing a word, Chef takes 0.2 seconds to type the first character; for each other character of this word, he takes 0.2 seconds to type this character if it is written with a different hand than the previous character, or 0.4 seconds if it is written with the same hand. The time taken to type a word is the sum of times taken to type all of its characters. However, if a word has already appeared during practice, Chef can type it in half the time it took him to type this word for the first time. Currently, Chef is practising in easy mode, which only uses words that consists of characters 'd', 'f', 'j' and 'k'. The characters 'd' and 'f' are written using the left hand, while the characters 'j&#

Round Robin Ranks CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Round 1A

Round Robin Ranks CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Round 1A Question A round-robin tournament is being held in Chefland among N teams numbered 1,2,...,N. Every team play with all other teams exactly once. All games have only two possible results - win or loss. A win yields 2 points to the winning team while a loss yields no points. What is the maximum number of points a team finishing at the Kth position can score? Note: If two teams have the same points then the team with the higher team number achieves the better rank. Input Format First line will contain T, number of testcases. Then the testcases follow. Each testcase contains a single line of input, two space-separated integers N,K. Output Format For each testcase, output in a single line an integer - the maximum points the team ranked K in the round-robin tournament can score. Constraints 1≤T≤10^5 1≤K≤N≤10^9 Sample Input 1 3 3 3 4 1 7 4 Sample Output 1 2 6 8 Explanation Test Case 1: There are 3 teams in the tournament. The maximum score

Temple Land CodeChef SnacKDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest

Temple Land CodeChef SnacKDown 2021 Beginner Practice Contest Question: The snakes want to build a temple for Lord Cobra. There are multiple strips of land that they are looking at, but not all of them are suitable. They need the strip of land to resemble a coiled Cobra. You need to find out which strips do so. Formally, every strip of land, has a length. Suppose the length of the i-th strip is is N i , then there will be N i integers, H i1 , H i2 , .. H iN i , which represent the heights of the ground at various parts of the strip, in sequential order. That is, the strip has been divided into N i parts and the height of each part is given. This strip is valid, if and only if all these conditions are satisfied: There should be an unique 'centre' part. This is where the actual temple will be built. By centre, we mean that there should be an equal number of parts to the left of this part, and to the right of this part. H i1 = 1 The heights keep increasing by exactly 1, as

Unique Email Addresses LeetCode Solution

Unique Email Addresses LeetCode Solution Question Every valid email consists of a local name and a domain name , separated by the '@' sign. Besides lowercase letters, the email may contain one or more '.' or '+' . For example, in "alice@leetcode.com" , "alice" is the local name , and "leetcode.com" is the domain name . If you add periods '.' between some characters in the local name part of an email address, mail sent there will be forwarded to the same address without dots in the local name. Note that this rule does not apply to domain names . For example, "alice.z@leetcode.com" and "alicez@leetcode.com" forward to the same email address. If you add a plus '+' in the local name , everything after the first plus sign will be ignored . This allows certain emails to be filtered. Note that this rule does not apply to domain names .
