How to approach SPOJ problem AMR12A?by Abhishek Kusnoor

I am struggling to come up with something but I am not even close. Didn't find any clue online too. It seems like Bipartite Matching, but it would be great to have any hints, if it's a well known algorithm, few links with similar problems would be helpful. Thanks!

Help for uva 10739by Abhishek Kusnoor

This problem has really annoyed me. Its a simple dp, If I do not memoize it I am getting correct answer for the test cases. If I memoize, I am getting 1 greater than the actual answer for the last couple of test cases. Any help appreciated. There are several solutions to this problem already available. I do not want to refer those because first time I am so close. How can memoization change the answer. I am baffled. Thanks for your time.

This is my code with memoization:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
 
string a;
int n;
int dp[1005][1005];
 
int solve(int i, int j, int moves)
{
	if(i>=j)
		return dp[i][j] =  moves;

Please check o/p of the above recursion. I believe its correct. I can post my memoized version where answer for only the last couple test cases is differing in sometime.

Keshav, thanks for taking time to run the code. I find this very strange because if check out the exact same non memoized version which is giving the right outputs Online C++0x Compiler & Debugging Tool I only momized this and nothing else. Why do you think the answers differ? Also I am pretty sure I was getting wrong answer only for last couple of tests. I will probably check with the code I wrote once again if there are issues. Appreciate your help.

Thanks for the reply Keshav. I understand your point. Nevertheless, why is the memoization making a difference anyway. I just remove all dp[i][j] and keep it just recursive, it works for the sample cases at least. If I add dp[i][j], it makes a difference for the last couple test cases. This is what's confusing me a bit.

Help for a hackerrank problem

I am trying to understand the editorial for this problem, Modifying sequences ( link ). I understood most part except, "Eliminate the negative values, then find longest increasing subsequence". Why do we need to "Eliminate negative values". Aren't they a part of the solution and shouldn't they be taken into consideration? Thanks for your time.
