Grid Required-Area Crossing
Find a simple grid path that visits required row intervals in a valid order.
Grid Required-Area Crossing
Ported from Frontier-CS algorithmic/problems/212.
Agentics Interface
Each run executes the submitted zip_project solution once. The run command receives the case input on standard input and must write the candidate answer to standard output. The solution must not use the network during setup, build, or run.
The trusted separated evaluator compiles and runs the source-derived Frontier-CS checker against stdout.txt. Public validation contains one tiny deterministic case. Official cases, reference answers, and scoring metadata are supplied only through the required private asset official-runs.
Scoring
The primary metric is score, the average normalized Frontier-CS checker score on a 0-100 scale. Outputs rejected by the checker receive zero for that case. Official result details are score-only; public validation includes per-case feedback from the checker.
Original Statement
I wanna cross the grid
Problem Description: Suddenly, the save point landed in a huge grid. Only by passing through all required areas can the next save point appear...
You are given a grid with n rows and m columns, where rows and columns are numbered starting from 1. Define a pair (x, y) to represent the cell at row x and column y. For each row, the cells from column L to column R are required areas. Formally, let D be the set of required areas, then D = {(x, y) | 1 ≤ x ≤ n, L ≤ y ≤ R, x, y ∈ N+}.
In each step, kid can move one step in one of the four directions (up, down, left, right) without exceeding the boundaries. Formally, if kid is currently at (x, y), then kid can move to (x+1, y), (x, y+1), (x-1, y), or (x, y-1).
Initially, kid is at (Sx, Sy) (guaranteed that Sy = L). Kid needs to pass through all required areas, and any cell can be visited at most once. Formally, kid's path is a sequence of pairs P = (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), ..., (xₖ, yₖ), which must satisfy:
- ∀ (x₀, y₀) ∈ D, ∃ i ∈ [1, k] such that (x₀, y₀) = (xᵢ, yᵢ)
- ∀ i ≠ j, (xᵢ, yᵢ) ≠ (xⱼ, yⱼ)
Additionally, kid needs to record a completion sequence p. When kid first enters the required area of a certain row, the row number must be appended to the current sequence, and kid must immediately pass through all required areas of that row. At the same time, p must contain a subsequence q of length Lq to be a valid completion sequence and truly complete the level. Formally, p is valid if and only if there exists a sequence c of length Lq such that p[cᵢ] = qᵢ and c is monotonically increasing.
To reduce the difficulty for lindongli2004, lindongli2004 hopes that kid takes as few steps as possible.
Given n, m, L, R, Sx, Sy, and q, please plan a completion route for kid, or tell him that no such route exists. The rest of the operations will be left to lindongli2004!
Input Format: The first line contains 8 positive integers: n, m, L, R, Sx, Sy, Lq, s, representing the number of rows and columns of the grid, the left and right boundaries of the required area, the x and y coordinates of the starting point, the length of sequence q, and the scoring parameter.
The second line contains Lq distinct positive integers, representing the sequence q.
Output Format: The first line contains a string "YES" or "NO" (without quotes) indicating whether there exists a valid path.
If there exists a valid path, the second line contains a positive integer cnt representing the length of the path, followed by cnt lines, each containing two positive integers x and y representing the coordinates of the path.
Example: Input: 5 4 2 3 2 2 2 15 3 1
Output: YES 15 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 4 2 4 3 5 3 5 2 5 1 4 1 3 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 3
Scoring: The last number in the first line of the input file is s. Let your number of steps be cnt. Then:
- If cnt ≤ s, you will receive 10 points.
- If cnt > s and you can complete the level, you will receive max(5, 10 - (cnt - s) / ⌊n/2⌋ - 1) points.
- If you cannot complete the level, you will receive 0 points.
Constraints:
- 1 ≤ L ≤ R ≤ m ≤ 40
- 1 ≤ Sx ≤ n ≤ 40
- Other constraints are detailed in the provided files.
- The maximum capacity of the checker is 2.5 × 10⁸, meaning your solution cannot contain more than 2.5 × 10⁸ numbers.
