You know, I think I got the meaning. I am 25, half of me is already in crisis of middle age. But I just got one thing:
Happiness, is when you have these 15 eur to order sushi, so you have a bit of dinner, and then you perform big impact and lay down. While you are trying to fall asleep - you realise: “fuck Im hungry”. Then you go get your sushi that you left finish them, make yourself sandwich on top, and eat it. This is it, THE MEANING.

same as yesterday's, but O(n^2) will give you TLE. So you need to implement something smarter. Somebody mentioned segment tree yesterday, so you were right xDD

Hint1: first approach would be to think about splitting the basket somehow, with aggregated maxes(easy solution) Sqrt time complexity
Hint2: segment tree 💀💀💀(second, more optimized, but hard to implement) Log time complexity

again leadership visits, snacks:

Asked copilot to prove me that .net/c# linq .GroupBy() will retain the order within the group as in original sequence.

This guy has an ability to simulate .net test with python, I'm impressed a lot

I'm so happy that MS pays for this shit, not me

When you check Leetcode solution with some very “intuitive” recursive calls

The reminder to carefully read the description. If you apply all the constraints from the problem there and aply basic logic + dp - it will be eas yto solve. I would say this one should be mid

Next video is hint to problem

Claude Sonnet 4. Agent mode. Asked it to cover the class with test cases. FYI: there is no single place in our code base where we do for loop for single iteration

Today daily is dp + probabilities. I'm not big fun of probabilities, but here they are simple

Hints.

Hint2: On every recursion, try 4 choices of pouring and sum them and add multiplication by 1/4 (as we have equal probability of choosing any of 4)

return 0.25 * (option1 + option2 + option3 + option4)

Hint 3: you gonna have only 2 variable in recursion, so this can be 2 Dimensional DP

Solution top down and bottom up DP
