Equal Beauty CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Round 1A

 Equal Beauty CodeChef SnackDown 2021 Round 1A Question The beauty of an (non-empty) array of integers is defined as the difference between its largest and smallest element. For example, the beauty of the array [2,3,4,4,6] is 6−2=4. An array A is said to be good if it is possible to partition the elements of A into two non-empty arrays B1 and B2 such that B1 and B2 have the same beauty. Each element of array A should be in exactly one array: either in B1 or in B2. For example, the array [6,2,4,4,4] is good because its elements can be partitioned into two arrays B1=[6,4,4] and B2=[2,4], where both B1 and B2 have the same beauty (6−4=4−2=2). You are given an array A of length N. In one move you can: Select an index i (1≤i≤N) and either increase Ai by 1 or decrease Ai by 1. Find the minimum number of moves required to make the array A good. Input Format The first line of input contains a single integer T, denoting the number of test cases. The description of T test cases follow. Each test

Consecutive Sum Riddle

Introduction

Codeforces organizes many contests out of which one is this Codeforces rounds to improve coding skills and get a higher coding knowledge. Codeforces Round 747 Div 2 was too a great round to test our coding skills. This round was held on  Friday, October 8, 2021 at 20:35UTC+5.5. This round will be rated for coders with rating upto 2100. A total of 6 problems are given which needs to be solved in 2 hours 15 minutes.  

The first problem that is Consecutive Sum  Riddle was cakewalk it was so simple that in 5 minutes we had more that four thousand successful submissions. Problem B was too a great deal of simplicity but it took a bit of time to understand what to do in the problem. Problem C was medium level and was a good question of logic for the average coders and for best coders it was just too simple. Problem D was good to go but the question was quite difficult to guess what algorithm would be required. Problem E1 was quite simple and many successful submissions were made. Problem E2 and F were the testing the skills of top coders and average coders just kept guessing what algorithms to use.

The contest was a great success and every body enjoyed it truly. Just practice more questions and go ahead in building a streak of code and get better everyday. Happy coding journey ahead. 

Question

Theofanis has a riddle for you and if you manage to solve it, he will give you a Cypriot snack halloumi for free (Cypriot cheese).

You are given an integer . You need to find two integers  and such that and 

Input

The first line contains a single integer  () — the number of test cases.

The first and only line of each test case contains a single integer  ().

Output

For each test case, print the two integers  and  such that  and

Explanation

This problem is just too simple there are no prerequisites to solve this problem. The problem gets clear when you understand what happens when n =2. This case will give you the idea what to do in this problem. We can solve this sum in many ways out of which I am explaining two ways to do the problem. We can take from -(n-1), -(n-2),....,n which will add to give n as the required sum in the question. We can also take from (-n+1), (-n+2),....,n which also adds up to give n as the sum. These were the two ways in which we could solve the problem; many more ways are still there which will also give the required sum so you can do in that way also. That's it now just code it. I recommend first to do by yourself then if you are stuck have a look at it.  

Program Code in C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define ll long long int
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your code goes here
ll t;
cin>>t;
while(t--){
    ll n;
    cin>>n;
    cout<<-(n-1)<<" "<<n<<endl;
}
return 0;
}

This is the end of the solution hope you enjoyed it and got benefit from it and made your coding journey smooth.

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&#

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 . For example,  "m.y+name@ema
