Getting wrong answer

#1

I am trying to solve this question…
https://codeforces.com/contest/1397/problem/D
What approch i have followed is that first pick the piles with maximum number of stones…both for “T” and “HL”…
and now i counted number of stones left with “T” and “HL”… based on that i have given the answer…
This is my solution…

Hey @ashishnnnnn
If I am understanding the question right then it means that we can not select a pile which is chosen in immediate previous turn but that does not mean that if some pile is chosen by A then it cant be chosen by B after 2 or more turns .

For this
1
3
2 2 2
HL wins but acc to ur code Twins because instead of immediate previous u are considering all prev

#6

Ooo… Here previous turn means just previous turn… I thought that it is talking about all previous turn any player has made…
Am i right now??

#7

Yeah according to question language otherwise they must have mentioned turns

One thing i want to ask …
As we know that to be good at c.p… it will take time.
What happening with me… is that i am only solving the codeforces past contest or present one… and not focusing much on DSA…
Like learning proper DSA…
Will this harm me… Should i do both the thing parallelly.

Yes u should ,Learning DSA properly should be ur utmost priority .

Yaa… Thanks :slight_smile:
