AnswersA special palindrome is a palindrome of size N which contains atmost K distinct characters such that any prefix between the size 2 to N-1 is not a palindrome.
- Prashanthwagle360 September 08, 2019 in India
You need to count the number of special palindromes
For example, abba is a special palindrome with N=4 and K=2 and ababa is not a special palindrome because aba is a palindrome and its a prefix of ababa.
If N=3, K=3, possible special palindromes are aba, aca, bab, bcb, cac and cbc. So answer will be 6.
Input format
Two integers N and K
Output format
Answer modulo 10^9+9
Constraints
1<=N,K<=10^9

AnswersNext Sunday is Ayan’s 4th birthday and a lot of guests are invited for his birthday celebration. All of them are getting gifts for Ayan and his y-1 number of siblings. There are x number of guests coming to the party and each of them presented each kid some integer number of gifts (possibly zero). The guests are numbered with integers from 1 to x and all kids are numbered with integers from 1 to y. For all 1 ≤i ≤x the minimum number of gifts, which i-th guest presented to some kid is equal to gi and for all 1 ≤j ≤y the maximum number of gifts, which j-th kid received from some guest is equal to kj.
- anoophky September 06, 2019 in United States
Let ai,j be the number of gifts which the i-th guest give to the j-th kid. Then gi is equal exactly to the minimum among values ai,1,ai,2,…,ai,y and kj is equal exactly to the maximum among values g1,j,g2,j,…,gx,j.
You are interested in the minimum total number of gifts that guests could present, so you need to minimize the sum of ai,j for all (i,j) such that 1 ≤i ≤x and 1 ≤j ≤y. You are given the numbers g1,…,gx and k1,…,ky, determine this number.
Input Format
The first line contains two integers x and y, separated with space — the number of guests and kids, respectively (2≤x,y≤100000). The second line contains x integers g1,…,gx, separated by spaces — gi is equal to the minimum number of gifts, which i-th guest presented to some kid (0≤gi≤1000). The third line contains y integers k1,…,ky, separated by spaces — kj is equal to the maximum number of gifts, which j-th kid received from some guest (0≤kj≤1000).
Output Format
If the described situation is impossible, print −1. In another case, print the minimum total number of gifts, which guests could have presented and all conditions could have satisfied.

AnswersMr. Stark is the owner of Stark industries, a manufacturer of weaponry.
- anoophky September 06, 2019 in United States
A local Mafia group has hijacked one of the factories in the desert.
The mafias want to transport the weapons from the factory to their base camp, and use a single truck to do it.
But, every kilometer the truck travels with the weapons, one weapon falls off and breaks. The truck can only travel integral values of distance, and will lose 1 weapon for every km travelled.
The weapons can be unloaded at any point from the truck, and can be picked up again later.
Given the number of weapons X, max capacity of the truck Y and distance between the factory and the base Z, find the maximum number of weapons that can be transferred intact from the factory to the mafia base.
Function Description:
findMaxWeapons function takes the following parameters:
X - the number of weapons
Y - max capacity of the truck
Z - distance between the factory and the base| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

Answeryou are given string of digits, a value x and N. you have to divide that string in ((i-1)*x+1,min(i*x)) parts.
- acharyashailendra1 September 05, 2019 in India
for example a String is ="1234567891" and x=5,N=10 then
there will be 2 partition of string since x=5
[12345] end [67891]
you have to find kth min number from these combinations. for example k=3 then ans should be 17
combination will happen like every digit from 1st partition will concanate with other partition digits
so if there were three partition for string 123456789 then it could be like
[123][456][789]
and if k=3 then ans would be 149| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

- neer.1304 August 15, 2019 in United States
You are now at Station 1. From here, you have to visit all the stations exactly once. We assume that you have already visited Station 1. However, due to your schedule, there are M restrictions that must be satisfied. The format of each restriction is as follows:
• Station si must be visited before Station ti. (1≤i≤M)
Find the minimum time required to visit all the stations. Note that the last station to visit can be any of the stations.
Constraints
• 1≤N≤14
• 0≤di,j≤108 (1≤i,j≤N)
• di,i=0 (1≤i≤N)
• 0≤M≤N(N−1)⁄2
• 1≤si,ti≤N (1≤i≤M)
• si≠ti (1≤i≤M)
• There exists a path visiting all the stations under the given restrictions.

AnswersThere are N rooms in a row. The i-th room (1≤i≤N) from the left is called Room i. You are given M closed intervals [ai,bi] (1≤i≤M). At time 0, all rooms j such that ai≤j≤bi for some i (1≤i≤M) are occupied, and the other rooms are vacant.
- neer.1304 August 15, 2019 in United States
You are given Q queries. The i-th query (1≤i≤Q) represents an event happening at time i, as follows:
• In the i-th query (1≤i≤Q), a closed interval [ci,di] (1≤i≤Q) is given.
• This query asks: "Are all rooms j such that ci≤j≤ci" vacant?
• If all those rooms are vacant, the query should be responded by OK, then all rooms j such that ci≤j≤ci get occupied.
• Otherwise, the query should be responded by OK, then nothing happens.
Process these queries.
Constraints
• 1≤N≤109
• 0≤M≤1000
• 1≤ai≤bi≤N (1≤i≤M)
