Time Complexity:
We're asked to handle point updates and range GCD queries on a 2D grid. This implies that we should use a 2D range-query data structure like a 2D segment tree (N.B. not a Fenwick tree, as the GCD function has no inverse).
In 1D (), this can be solved by a fairly straightforward use of a segment tree: each node stores the GCD of its two children. Since can be quite big, this needs to be a sparse segment tree; another alternative would be a balanced binary tree like a treap.
However, a sparse 2D segment tree uses just a bit too much memory, and only scores 80 points. Fortunately for us, there are two ways to get around this!
Approach 1 - Sparse segment tree of BBSTs
Although BBSTs use 4 times less memory than segment trees, a BBST of BBSTs (e.g. a range tree) is rather unpleasant to implement. However, a segment tree of BBSTs is much nicer to implement, and is good enough to score 100 points!
In my implementation below, I use an implicit treap because they support point updates and range queries. Each segment tree node stores a treap, and updating a node involves changing values in its treap (similar to updating a 2D segment tree node).
#include "game.h"#include <bits/stdc++.h>typedef long long ll;using namespace std;ll gcd(ll x, ll y) { return !y ? x : gcd(y, x % y); }int rnd() { return ((rand() % (1 << 15)) << 16) + (rand() % (1 << 15)); }struct TreapNode {
Approach 2 - Memory-optimized 2D sparse segment tree
Although the previous approach is somewhat simpler, this approach was intended, and involves optimizing the memory usage of a sparse segment tree from to .
Essentially, we don't instantiate nodes in the segment tree if they are not leaf nodes and only contain a single leaf node in their subtree, as those nodes are redundant. What we end up with is a segment tree with leaves and nodes. See the sparse segment tree module for more details.
Note that we can only apply this trick to the segment trees of the columns. This means that the memory complexity is , which is good enough to score 100 points.
#include "game.h"#include <stdlib.h>typedef long long ll;static int R, C;struct X_NODE {X_NODE(int s, int e) : s(s), e(e), left(NULL), right(NULL), value(0LL) {}int s, e;
