QTREE2 - Query on a tree II
You are given a tree (an undirected acyclic connected graph) with N nodes, and edges numbered 1, 2, 3 ...N-1. Each edge has an integer value assigned to it, representing its length.
We will ask you to perform some instructions of the following form:
- DIST a b : ask for the distance between node a and node b
or - KTH a b k : ask for the k-th node on the path from node a to node b
Example:
N = 6
1 2 1 // edge connects node 1 and node 2 has cost 1
2 4 1
2 5 2
1 3 1
3 6 2
Path from node 4 to node 6 is 4 → 2 → 1 → 3 → 6
DIST 4 6 : answer is 5 (1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5)
KTH 4 6 4 : answer is 3 (the 4-th node on the path from node 4 to node 6 is 3)
Input
The first line of input contains an integer t, the number of test cases (t <= 25). t test cases follow.
For each test case:
- In the first line there is an integer N (N <= 10000)
- In the next N-1 lines, the i-th line describes the i-th edge: a line with three integers a b c denotes an edge between a, b of cost c (c <= 100000)
- The next lines contain instructions "DIST a b" or "KTH a b k"
- The end of each test case is signified by the string "DONE".
There is one blank line between successive tests.
Output
For each "DIST" or "KTH" operation, write one integer representing its result.
Print one blank line after each test.
Example
Input: 1 6 1 2 1 2 4 1 2 5 2 1 3 1 3 6 2 DIST 4 6 KTH 4 6 4 DONE Output: 5 3

If you use LCA for this problem, remember to check if 'a' and 'b' in a same branch and 'a' is closer to the root than 'b'

Nice, used HLD, although binary lifting would probably be better |

A must do question to learn LCA. Last edit: 2020-06-21 06:43:28 |

just check your preprocessing fn if you are getting segmentation fault |

Easy but good problem :) |

Did it using binary lifting. A must do problem if you're learning LCA. |

Don't forget to print one blank line after each test case. |

Easy to solve with sqrt decompostion, as there are no updates. |
