Userscript for SPOJ

Greasemonkey is an userscript manager that let's users manipulate any web page before or after it is loaded on browsers. It is available as an extension in browsers. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey

 In short, it runs custom piece of  code on any websites.
In SPOJ problem page, there's problem-tag, which is really helpful but not always. The same thing with auto showed comment table. Most of the time while scrolling, I see hints that I do not want to read unless I am stuck.

So, to rectify the situation, I wrote a few lines of javascript to hide the problem-tag and  comment table. I also wrote another line to select CPP as the default language in the solution submission form.

Setup: Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome
Then go to New User Script & copy-paste the code.
That's it.

SPOJ - GSS1

Considering input series: { 4 , -10 , 3 , 100 , -20 , 1 } Query(x,y) = Max { a[i]+a[i+1]+...+a[j] ; x ≤ i ≤ j ≤ y } A node contains-  [ START & END is a node's segment limit ] Prefix is the maximum sum starting at START, end can be anywhere. There are two possibilities of the maximum. One, node's leftChild's prefix or two, adding leftChild's sum + rightChild's prefix. (which will make the prefix contiguous) Suffix is the maximum sum ending at END, start can be anywhere. There's two possibility of the maximum. One, node's rightChild's already calculated suffix or two, add rightChild's sum + leftChild's suffix   (which will make the suffix contiguous). Sum : leftChild's sum + rightChild's sum. MAX Maximum of  -  prefix (result is in the node, starts from START but doesn't end in END ) suffix  (result is in the node, doesn't start from START but surely ends in END ) leftChild's max ( result is in left ...

Minimum moves for balancing brackets

You’re given a non-empty string made in its entirety from opening and closing braces. Your task is to find the minimum number of “operations” needed to make the string stable. The definition of being stable is as follows: An empty string is stable. If S is stable, then {S} is also stable. If S and T are both stable, then ST (the concatenation of the two) is also stable. All of these strings are stable: {}, {}{}, and {{}{}}; But none of these: }{, {{}{, nor {}{. The only operation allowed on the string is to replace an opening brace with a closing brace, or visa-versa. Solution Heuristics: Traverse the string. When the number of opening braces( { ) matches the number of closing braces ( } ), the string is balanced. Else it's not balanced. So count both of them. Make a list. Insert only opening braces. If a closing brace is found delete one brace( if the size of the list is > 0 ) from the list. Because they would make a pair. If the list is empty then we'll conve...
