657 - The die is cast

The quoted part of your post is pretty obvious! Which part are you having trouble with?

The quoted part of your post is pretty obvious! Which part are you having trouble with?

thnx. reading ur post i thought if its ovious why cant i understand..

. then i read carefully again and again and i understood.

but there r still some confusion

A set S of pixels is connected if for every pair (a,b) of pixels in S, there is a sequence a1, a2, ...., ak in S such that a = a1 and b = ak

does that mean if input is a 5X5 grid, then pixel (1,1) and pixel (1,5) are connected?? im confused with the statement a=a1 and b=ak. sorry for the trouble.

Lets consider the case with a die:
For the 5x5 grid, (1,1) and (1,5) are connected if you can reach (1,5) from (1,1) by visiting only non-background pixels.

Example 1

Code: Select all

*.***
***..
.....
.....
.....

Example 2

Code: Select all

*.***
.....
.....
.....
.....

For the first case, (1,1) is connected to (1,5) but not for the 2nd case.
Hope it's clear.

Hints: Basically, we need to apply flood-fill to find connected components.

i got it thnxs

. but i think in the problem statement it is unnecessary to give that line.making the statement confusing. because before it was written that

. We consider two pixels connected if they share an edge - meeting at a corner is not enough

anyone can understand frm this line which pixels r connected.

thnxs again.

Actually, no. They are not connected, but instead they are part of a same connected set of pixels (i.e. indirectly connected)

I don't see any problems with the problem statement at all, it's pretty clear.

Two pixels are connected iff they share an edge.

And the following is basically a textbook definition of a connectedness in a graph, where vertices are pixels and edges represent pairs of connected pixels:

A set $S$ of pixels is connected if for every pair $(a,b)$ of pixels in $S$, there is a sequence $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k$ in $S$ such that $a = a_1$ and $b = a_k$, and $a_i$ and $a_{i+1}$ are connected for $1 \le i < k$.

There's another way to define connected components - via equivalence relations - but it's even more verbose.

u misunderstood me.

i understood this line pretty well. but i couldnt understood the line

A set S of pixels is connected if for every pair (a,b) of pixels in S, there is a sequence a1, a2, ...., ak in S such that a = a1 and b = ak ,

and i think this line is unncessary because the first line says it all.

mf · Post by mf » Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:41 pm

I don't see why it's unnecessary. It defines the concept of 'connected set of pixels', which is then used to define what 'dice' and 'dot' mean. And as counting these objects is the subject of this problem, you have to define them somehow... This problem's author chose to do a in a "mathy" way.

Read more math books, and you'd get used to a language like that :)

Actually you are wrong, there is no such cases.
Also the first test case in this thread is wrong.
