As I was late to the contest by 30 min I was very much tensed and I faced the consequences of being tensed at the end of the contest. The first problem I opened was pretty simple and It was a problem based on combination and finding power of a number using DIVIDE AND CONQUER strategy. Due to carelessness I got one WA for this problem. Then I opened the most solved question. Initially by looking at it I thought BINARY SEARCH would be the answer for it . But I was wrong and It was a SIMPLE MATH question. And one unfortunate thing is, because I forgot to read the words “VICE VERSA” I got 3 wrong submissions. And while submitting for the third problem I made even a silly mistake. While thinking of the logic to the problem I noticed that the value of “1” must be treated as a corner case. But I forgot to include it in the program…. And what again!! Two wrong submissions because of this. So I finally ended up solving 3 questions
RANK IN THE CONTEST: 211 / 1046
LESSON LEARNT:
while YOUR TENSION LEVEL > 0
Try
TENSION-- // Try reducing your tension level
Catch
TENSION * = TENSION // tension will grow // exponentially and your // condition will
// become even worse
