CodeForce #603 div2. B. Obtain Two Zeroes

本文深入解析了一道算法博弈题,探讨了如何通过设定条件和数学推导,判断两个数是否能通过特定操作达到平衡状态。文章详细阐述了解题思路,包括设定初始条件、推导数学公式、验证操作可行性,并附上了AC代码。

\quad不妨设 b >= a,否则swap。 显然必须有 a <= b <= 2a,否则由于b最多以a的2倍速减小,不可能成立,return false。 如果可以变换到零,等价于最后可变换至 b = 2a,那么必须有 b - 3x = 2(a - 3x),等价于 (2a - b) % 3 == 0。
\quad-3x的含义就是取相同的x同时进行两个可选操作。这怎么理解呢?
\quad显然如果此时只需只执行其中一个子操作,而另外一个不执行,那么此时已经是b = 2a了。否则,我们应该两个操作同时执行,使其逼近这个等式。
\quad其次从数学上来说,我们显然有 (b - 3x) / (a - 3x) > b / a,因此在 a <= b < 2a时,经过-3x以后比值必然增大,更加接近 b = 2a这个等式

附上AC代码

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int t, a, b;
 
 
bool helper(int a, int b)
{
    if (a >= b) swap(a, b);
    if (b > 2 * a) return false;
    if ((2 * a - b) % 3 == 0) return true;
    else return false;
}
 
int main()
{
    cin >> t;
    while (t--)
    {
        cin >> a >> b;
        cout << (helper(a, b) ? "YES" : "NO") << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
### Codeforces Problem 797B Explanation The problem titled "Restoring the Permutation" requires reconstructing a permutation from its prefix sums modulo \( m \). Given an array of integers representing these prefix sums, one must determine whether it is possible to restore such a permutation. In this context, a **permutation** refers to an ordered set containing each integer exactly once within a specified range. The task involves checking if there exists any valid sequence that matches the provided conditions when performing operations as described in the problem statement[^1]. To solve this issue effectively: - Iterate through all elements while maintaining two variables: `current_sum` which tracks cumulative sum during iteration; and `min_value`, used later for adjustments. ```cpp int n, m; cin >> n >> m; vector<int> s(n); for (auto& x : s) cin >> x; ``` Calculate differences between consecutive terms after adjusting initial values appropriately by subtracting minimum value found so far at every step. This adjustment ensures non-negativity throughout calculations without altering relative order among elements. Check feasibility based on properties derived from constraints given in the question text. Specifically, ensure no duplicate residues appear under modulus operation since they would violate uniqueness required for permutations. Finally, construct answer using adjusted difference list obtained previously along with necessary checks ensuring correctness according to rules outlined above.
