things i often forget while coding:

sorting in python3 using lambda:

assuming that x is a tuple and sorting will depend on x[0], if x[0] is equal then x[1]

data.sort(key = lambda x: (x[0], x[1]))

assuming x is a class where it has two int attributes: id, marks

data.sort(key = lambda x: (x.id, x.marks))

declaring 2D array of N * M size in python:

board = [['X' for i in range(M)] for j in range(N)]

declaring 2D empty array in python:

arr = []
for i in range(n):
  arr.append([])

priority queue with custom comparator

class comparator
{
public:
    // Type is variable type or any user defined object 
    bool operator() (Type a, Type b)
    {
        // return according to your need
    }
};

std::priority_queue<pair<int, int>, vector<pair<int, int>>, comparator> pq;

policy based data structures:

#include<iostream>
#include <ext/pb_ds/assoc_container.hpp> // Common file
#include <ext/pb_ds/tree_policy.hpp> // Including tree_order_statistics_node_update

using namespace std;
using namespace __gnu_pbds;

typedef tree<
int,
null_type,
less<int>,
rb_tree_tag,
tree_order_statistics_node_update>
ordered_set;

int main(){
  ordered_set s;
  s.insert(5);
  s.insert(4);
  
  cout << s.order_of_key(6) << endl;  // this will output 2 as there are two numbers in the set that are less than 6
}

custom comparator in c#

// this goes inside the class
public int CompareTo(Node other)
{
    if (this.c == other.c) return this.value.CompareTo(other.value);
    return this.c.CompareTo(other.c);
}

codeforces's Issues

Test case 9

Hello! The test cases aren't working on my account for this problem. could you help me by sending me the test case no 9? Thanks.

codeforces-987B

Hey friend, If I remove the condition
if(x==y)
{
cout<<"=";
return 0;
}

The code is not working.And what is the usage of this condition as we are comparing again in the end.

Can i contribute solution?
