Heavy Light White Falcon

Our lazy white falcon finally decided to learn heavy-light decomposition. Her teacher gave an assignment for her to practice this new technique. Please help her by solving this problem. You are given a tree with N nodes and each node's value is initially 0. The problem asks you to operate the following two types of queries: "1 u x" assign x to the value of the node . "2 u v" print the maximum value of the nodes on the unique path between u and v. Input Format First line consists o

Number Game on a Tree

Andy and Lily love playing games with numbers and trees. Today they have a tree consisting of n nodes and n -1 edges. Each edge i has an integer weight, wi. Before the game starts, Andy chooses an unordered pair of distinct nodes, ( u , v ), and uses all the edge weights present on the unique path from node u to node v to construct a list of numbers. For example, in the diagram below, Andy constructs a list from the edge weights along the path ( 2, 6 ): Andy then uses this list to play

Heavy Light 2 White Falcon

White Falcon was amazed by what she can do with heavy-light decomposition on trees. As a resut, she wants to improve her expertise on heavy-light decomposition. Her teacher gave her an another assignment which requires path updates. As always, White Falcon needs your help with the assignment. You are given a tree with N nodes and each node's value Vi is initially 0. Let's denote the path from node u to node v like this: p1, p2, p3 . . . pk, where p1 = u and pk = v, and pi and pi+1 are

Library Query

A giant library has just been inaugurated this week. It can be modeled as a sequence of N consecutive shelves with each shelf having some number of books. Now, being the geek that you are, you thought of the following two queries which can be performed on these shelves. Change the number of books in one of the shelves. Obtain the number of books on the shelf having the kth rank within the range of shelves. A shelf is said to have the kth rank if its position is k when the shelves are so

Starfleet

In a galaxy far away, there is a constant battle between the republic and the droid army. The droid army decided to launch their final attack on the republic. They have N space-fighters. Initially the ith fighter is located at (xi, yi). All of the space-fighters move with constant velocity V units/sec in the positive X direction. i.e., fighter at (xi, yi) moves to (xi+V, yi) in 1 second. The ith space-fighter broadcasts enemy information at a frequency fi. The republic is not scared of the
