You are given 2 integers n and k. We have to find the maximum possible number of strings of size n such that the difference between 2 adjacent characters in the string is less than or equal to k. Given, all characters of the string should be smallcase alphabets.
The difference between 2 characters means the difference between their position in the alphabet list. For example, f - c = 3, b - a = 1.
Constraints
1 ≤ n ≤ 10⁶1 ≤ k ≤ 25
Example 1
Input:
n = 2
k = 3Output:
170Explanation:
For example, if we take the string "ab", the difference between a and b is 1. Thus this is a valid string.
Similarly the strings "cd", "ce", "cf", "gi" are also valid.
Like this there are 170 strings of length n = 2 that are fulfilling the condition.
解法
DP：dp[i][c] = 长度 i 末尾为字符 c 的合法串数。转移 dp[i][c] = sum(dp[i-1][c'] for |c' - c| ≤ k)。最终答案 = Σ dp[n][c]。初始 dp[1][c] = 1。复杂度 O(n · 26²)，对 n ≤ 10⁶、k ≤ 25 即 O(n · 52)，仍 5×10⁷ 量级可接受。

You are given an unsorted array of length n. You can do the following operation any number of time:
- You can select any element of the array,
arr[i]and break it into two partsaandbwherea+b = arr[i]anda, b > 0. We have to find the minimum number of this operation to sort the given array in ascending order.
Constraints
1 ≤ n ≤ 10⁵1 ≤ arr[i] ≤ 10⁹
Example 1
Input:
arr = [3, 4, 3]
n = 3Output:
2Explanation:
We can take arr[1] and break it into 2 and 2 thus making the array, arr = [3, 2, 2, 3].
Next we can take arr[0] and break it into 1 and 2, thus making the array, arr = [1, 2, 2, 2, 3].
After these 2 operations the array is now sorted. Thus the answer is 2.
解法
从右向左扫描，维护当前允许的最大值 cap，初始为 arr[n-1]。对 arr[i]，若 arr[i] ≤ cap 则更新 cap = arr[i]，操作 0；否则要把 arr[i] 分成 k = ceil(arr[i] / cap) 段，每段 ≤ cap；操作数 += k - 1；新的 cap = arr[i] // k(为了让前面的也能不大于 cap)。复杂度 O(n)。

cap = arr[i]
else:
k = (arr[i] + cap - 1) // cap
ops += k - 1
cap = arr[i] // k

};Given an array arr[] of N integers, the task is to find the minimum number of moves to sort the array in non-decreasing order by splitting any array element into two parts such that the sum of the parts is the same as that element.
Constraints
N/A
Example 1
Input:
arr = [3, 4, 2]Output:
2Explanation: The moves are:
- Split 4 into two parts (2, 2). Array becomes
arr[] = {3, 2, 2, 2} - Split 3 into two parts (1, 2). Array becomes
arr[] = {1, 2, 2, 2, 2}
Example 2
Input:
arr = [3, 2, 4]Output:
1Explanation:
Split 3 into two parts (1, 2). Array becomes (1, 2, 2, 4).
Example 3
Input:
arr = [5, 6, 5, 7, 9]Output:
2Explanation:
At Index = 0, 5 breaks into 2, 3 so array becomes (2, 3, 6, 5, 7, 9).
At Index = 1, 6 breaks into 3, 3 so array becomes (2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 7, 9).
Now the array is sorted (2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 7, 9), so the count is 2. Hence the function returns 2.
解法
与上题方法相同：从右往左扫，维护后缀允许的上界 cap。每次若 arr[i] > cap 则需分 k = arr[i]/cap 段，操作 += k-1，新 cap = arr[i] / k。复杂度 O(n)。
