Binary search over floating point representations
I got some good feedback on my last post about binary search, and thought it was worth a follow-up post. An important fix First things first: commenter Globules pointed out that doing (l+r) `div` 2 can overflow; my initial, glib … Continue reading
Competitive programming in Haskell: better binary search
Binary search is a workhorse of competitive programming. There are occasional easy problems where binary search is the solution in and of itself; more often, it’s used as a primitive building block of more complex algorithms. It is often presented … Continue reading
Counting inversions via rank queries
In a post from about a year ago, I explained an algorithm for counting the number of inversions of a sequence in time. As a reminder, given a sequence , an inversion is a pair of positions such that and … Continue reading
