Lazy White Falcon

White Falcon just solved the data structure problem below using heavy-light decomposition. Can you help her find a new solution that doesn't require implementing any fancy techniques? There are 2 types of query operations that can be performed on a tree: 1 u x: Assign x as the value of node u. 2 u v: Print the sum of the node values in the unique path from node u to node v. Given a tree with N nodes where each node's value is initially 0, execute Q queries. Input Format The first l

Ticket to Ride

Simon received the board game Ticket to Ride as a birthday present. After playing it with his friends, he decides to come up with a strategy for the game. There are n cities on the map and n - 1 road plans. Each road plan consists of the following: Two cities which can be directly connected by a road. The length of the proposed road. The entire road plan is designed in such a way that if one builds all the roads, it will be possible to travel between any pair of cities. A ticket enabl

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
