时间:2023-01-28 13:18:53

Problem Introduction

The goal in this problem is given a set of segments on a line and a set of points on a line, to count, for each point, the number of segments which contain it.

Problem Description

Task.In this problem you are given a set of points on a line and a set of segments on a line. The goal is to compute, for each point, the number of segments that contain this point.

Input Format.The first line contains two non-negative integers \(s\) and \(p\) defining the number of segments and the number of points on a line, respectively. The next \(s\) lines contain two integers \(a_i, b_i\) defining the \(i\)-th segment \([a_i, b_i]\). The next line contains \(p\) integers defining points \(x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_p\).

Constraints.\(1 \leq s,p \leq 50000;-10^8 \leq a_i \leq b_i \leq 10^8\) for all \(0 \leq i < s;-10^8 \leq x_j \leq 10^8\) for all \(0 \leq j < p\).

Output Format.Output \(p\) non-negative integers \(k_0,k_1,\cdots,k_{p-1}\) where \(k_i\) is the number of segments which contain \(x_i\). More formally,
\(k_i=|{j:a_j \leq x_i \leq b_j}|\)

    for i, j in sortedlist:
