Let’s have a look at this code: int main() { for(int i{0};i<500;i++) { std::cout<<“This is a big number: “<<i*20000000<<std::endl; } } And let’s compile it with g++ using the flag -O3, what’s going to happen? Before answering, let’s have a look at the assembly, shall we? L16: movsbl 39(%ebx), %eax L6: movl %esi, %ecx movl […]

Subsequences and Fenwick tree’s
Let’s say that we have a sequence A of 1<=n<=10^5 elements, and that this sequence may or may not be ordered but all the numbers {1…n} are present exactly once. And now given 1<=k<=10, you’re asked to find all the increasing sub-sequences of A with exactly k+1 elements. This is a problem I get from a competitive programming […]
