Problem Statement

Official algorithmic problem description and constraints.

Open on Codeforces

Sofia had an array of π‘› integers π‘Ž1,π‘Ž2,…,π‘Žπ‘›. One day she got bored with it, so she decided to sequentially apply π‘š

π‘š modification operations to it.

Each modification operation is described by a pair of numbers βŸ¨π‘π‘—,π‘‘π‘—βŸ© and means that the element of the array with index π‘π‘— should be assigned the value π‘‘𝑗, i.e., perform the assignment π‘Žπ‘π‘—=𝑑𝑗. After applying all modification operations sequentially, Sofia discarded the resulting array.

Recently, you found an array of π‘›

𝑛 integers π‘1,𝑏2,…,𝑏𝑛. You are interested in whether this array is Sofia's array. You know the values of the original array, as well as the values π‘‘1,𝑑2,…,π‘‘π‘š. The values π‘1,𝑐2,…,π‘π‘š turned out to be lost.

Is there a sequence π‘1,𝑐2,…,π‘π‘š such that the sequential application of modification operations βŸ¨π‘1,𝑑1,⟩,βŸ¨π‘2,𝑑2,⟩,…,βŸ¨π‘π‘š,π‘‘π‘šβŸ© to the array π‘Ž1,π‘Ž2,…,π‘Žπ‘› transforms it into the array π‘1,𝑏2,…,𝑏𝑛?
