Gridland Metro


Problem Statement :


The city of Gridland is represented as an n x m matrix where the rows are numbered from 1 to n and the columns are numbered from 1 to m.

Gridland has a network of train tracks that always run in straight horizontal lines along a row. In other words, the start and end points of a train track are  and , where  represents the row number,  represents the starting column, and  represents the ending column of the train track.

The mayor of Gridland is surveying the city to determine the number of locations where lampposts can be placed. A lamppost can be placed in any cell that is not occupied by a train track.

Given a map of Gridland and its  train tracks, find and print the number of cells where the mayor can place lampposts.

Note: A train track may overlap other train tracks within the same row.


In this case, there are five open cells (red) where lampposts can be placed.

int n:: the number of rows in Gridland
int m:: the number of columns in Gridland
int k:: the number of tracks
track[k][3]: each element contains  integers that represent , all 1-indexed
Returns

int: the number of cells where lampposts can be installed
Input Format

The first line contains three space-separated integers  and , the number of rows, columns and tracks to be mapped.

Each of the next  lines contains three space-separated integers,  and , the row number and the track column start and end.

Is This a Binary Search Tree?

For the purposes of this challenge, we define a binary tree to be a binary search tree with the following ordering requirements: The data value of every node in a node's left subtree is less than the data value of that node. The data value of every node in a node's right subtree is greater than the data value of that node. Given the root node of a binary tree, can you determine if it's also a

His goal is to be able to cut two edges and have the values of each of the three new trees sum to the same amount. This is called a balanced forest. Being frugal, the data value he inserts should be minimal. Determine the minimal amount that a new node can have to a

Jenny loves experimenting with trees. Her favorite tree has n nodes connected by n - 1 edges, and each edge is ` unit in length. She wants to cut a subtree (i.e., a connected part of the original tree) of radius r from this tree by performing the following two steps: 1. Choose a node, x , from the tree. 2. Cut a subtree consisting of all nodes which are not further than r units from node x .
