Think Backwards (Reverse Thinking)

Think Backwards is a problem‑solving pattern where you reverse time or direction so hard deletions become easy insertions and the final state becomes the starting point.

Segment Tree with Range Affine Transformation

A segment tree with lazy propagation can support range updates of the form x → a·x + b (affine transformations) and range-sum queries in O(log n) per operation.

Sqrt Decomposition on Queries

Sqrt decomposition on queries (time blocking) processes Q operations in blocks of size about \(\sqrt{Q}\) to balance per-query overhead and rebuild cost.

Sieve of Eratosthenes

The Sieve of Eratosthenes marks multiples of each prime to find all primes up to n in O(n log log n) time.

DSU on Tree (Sack)

DSU on Tree (also called the Sack technique) answers many subtree queries in O(n \log n) by keeping data from the heavy child and temporarily re-adding light subtrees.

Exchange Arguments in DP

An exchange argument proves that any optimal solution can be reordered to satisfy a simple sorting rule by showing that swapping adjacent out-of-order elements never helps.
