Buying Land

Problem code: BUYLAND

  • Submit
  • All Submissions

All submissions for this problem are available.

After recent success of cooking reality shows, Chef decided to borrow the idea and host his own "Devil's Kitchen" show. But his ambitions are even bigger. He plans to build a whole complex of hotels, gyms and other entertainment facilities along with one main restaurant where he'll host the show. But first of all, he needs to purhase some land to build on. The country is divided into a grid with R rows and C columns of smaller parcels. Chef wants to buy a rectangular piece of land H parcels high and W parcels wide. He also has a preferred layout in mind. The restaurant will be located at (i,j). For every parcel he defined its preferred height relative to the height of the restaurant parcel. For a particular piece of land, he computes height differences relative to the restaurant and compares them to the preferred layout. This comparison is done as a sum of squared differences over all H*W parcels. Given the map of the country, help him out by finding the K most suitable pieces of land.

Input

Input starts with a description of the country. It is described from north to south and from west to east. All coordinates are 1-based, which means that the parcel farthest to the north-west is at (1,1). Dimensions R and C are given in the first line, followed by R lines of C integers, describing the heights of individual parcels. Following is the description of the chef's preferred layout, starting with dimensions H and W. Position of the restaurant within the layout (i,j) is given in the next line. The j-th number in the i-th line of preferred layout will always be 0. Input ends with number K, the number of solutions you are required to find. It will be possible to buy the piece of land on at least K different positions. All numbers describing heights will have absolute value at most 30.

Output

Output exactly K lines containing the K best pieces of land chef can buy, ordered from best to worst. Each piece of land should be described by numbers BR, BC, S, where (BR,BC) represents the position of the upper-left corner of the purchased piece of land and S the corresponding score. In case of a tie, the chef prefers solutions to the north (direction of decreasing row numbers). If there is still a tie, choose the solution farthest to the west (direction of decreasing column numbers).

Constraints

  • 1 <= R, C <= 666
  • 1 <= H <= (R+1)/2
  • 1 <= W <= (C+1)/2
  • 1 <= K <= 1000
  • Example

    Input:
    5 8
    6 1 8 6 0 0 8 1
    6 5 8 6 8 6 8 1
    6 5 8 6 8 6 8 2
    6 5 8 6 8 6 8 2
    6 5 8 6 8 6 0 2
    3 4
    -1 2 2 2
    -1 2 0 2
    -1 2 2 2
    2 3
    4
    
    Output:
    2 2 8
    3 2 8
    2 4 11
    3 4 75
    

    Explanation

    If the chef decides to buy the land from (3,4) to (5,7), he will end up with the following layout:
    0 2 0 2
    0 2 0 2
    0 2 0 -6
    Comparing it to the preferred layout gives the penalty of 1+0+4+0+1+0+0+0+1+0+4+64=75, which is 4th best.

HELP

Program should read from standard input and write to standard output. After you submit a solution you can see your results by clicking on the [My Submissions] tab on the problem page. Below are the possible results:

 

  • Accepted Your program ran successfully and gave a correct answer. If there is a score for the problem, this will be displayed in parenthesis next to the checkmark.
  • Time Limit Exceeded Your program was compiled successfully, but it didn't stop before time limit. Try optimizing your approach.
  • Wrong Answer Your program compiled and ran succesfully but the output did not match the expected output.
  • Runtime Error Your code compiled and ran but encountered an error. The most common reasons are using too much memory or dividing by zero. For the specific error codes see the help section.
  • Compilation Error Your code was unable to compile. When you see this icon, click on it for more information.

CodeChef - A Platform for Aspiring Programmers

CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming and programming contests. At CodeChef we work hard to revive the geek in you by hosting a programming contest at the start of the month and another smaller programming challenge in the middle of the month. We also aim to have training sessions and discussions related to algorithms, binary search, technicalities like array size and the likes. Apart from providing a platform for programming competitions, CodeChef also has various algorithm tutorials and forum discussions to help those who are new to the world of computer programming.

Practice Section - A Place to hone your 'Computer Programming Skills'

Try your hand at one of our many practice problems and submit your solution in a language of your choice. Our programming contest judge accepts solutions in over 35+ programming languages. Preparing for coding contests were never this much fun! Receive points, and move up through the CodeChef ranks. Use our practice section to better prepare yourself for the multiple programming challenges that take place through-out the month on CodeChef.

Compete - Monthly Programming Contests and Cook-offs

Here is where you can show off your computer programming skills. Take part in our 10 day long monthly coding contest and the shorter format Cook-off coding contest. Put yourself up for recognition and win great prizes. Our programming contests have prizes worth up to Rs.20,000 and $700lots more CodeChef goodies up for grabs.

Discuss

Are you new to computer programming? Do you need help with algorithms? Then be a part of CodeChef's Forums and interact with all our programmers - they love helping out other programmers and sharing their ideas. Have discussions around binary search, array size, branch-and-bound, Dijkstra's algorithm, Encryption algorithm and more by visiting the CodeChef Forums and Wiki section.

CodeChef Community

As part of our Educational initiative, we give institutes the opportunity to associate with CodeChef in the form of Campus Chapters. Hosting online programming competitions is not the only feature on CodeChef. You can also host a coding contest for your institute on CodeChef, organize an algorithm event and be a guest author on our blog.

Go For Gold

The Go for Gold Initiative was launched about a year after CodeChef was incepted, to help prepare Indian students for the ACM ICPC World Finals competition. In the run up to the ACM ICPC competition, the Go for Gold initiative uses CodeChef as a platform to train students for the ACM ICPC competition via multiple warm up contests. As an added incentive the Go for Gold initiative is also offering over Rs.8 lacs to the Indian team that beats the 29th position at the ACM ICPC world finals. Find out more about the Go for Gold and the ACM ICPC competition here.
