The task is to read one positive integer and print its square, meaning the result of multiplying the number by itself. The input contains a single value representing the number to transform, and the output is that same value after applying the squaring operation.

The problem describes a connected undirected road network. Each intersection is a vertex and each road is an edge. The three racers want to choose a starting intersection and a finishing intersection.

The program in this problem is a very small artificial machine. It has a single 8-bit register r, so the register can only contain values from 0 to 255. Execution starts at the first instruction with r = 0.

The problem is intentionally wrapped in a long story, but the actual computation is extremely small. The committee considers a session containing n bills. Every bill that reaches a vote receives unanimous approval, so every voted bill is passed.

The house is a rectangular grid. Some cells are blocked by walls, while the remaining cells can be walked through. The friends start in the cell marked s and want to reach the cell marked f.

I can write the editorial, but the problem statement you provided is empty. I found that Codeforces Gym 102644B “String Mood” is the problem where Limak starts happy, reads an uppercase string, and the task is to count strings of length n that leave him happy, with n up to…

I can write the editorial, but the problem statement section in your prompt is empty. I looked up Codeforces 102644C, and it is the problem asking for the n-th Fibonacci number modulo $10^9+7$, where $0 le n le 10^{18}$.

We maintain a string of uppercase letters and question marks. A question mark can later become any uppercase English letter. Reading the string from left to right changes Limak's mood, which has only two possible states: happy and sad.

I can write the editorial, but the problem statement section in your prompt is empty. I found that Codeforces 102644F “Min Path” is a graph problem about finding the minimum total weight of a path with exactly k edges, where k can be as large as 10^9, and the intended…

The problem gives a directed graph with vertices numbered from 1 to n and asks for the number of possible walks that use exactly k directed edges. A walk may reuse vertices and edges, so the task is not about simple paths.

We have two groups of strings of equal size. The first group contains questions and the second group contains prepared answers. We must assign every question exactly one answer and every answer exactly one question.

The system is a three dimensional grid of CPUs. A working CPU can send information only in the positive direction of each axis, meaning a CPU can move to its neighbor with one coordinate increased by one. Broken CPUs do not exist in the communication graph.

The task is to construct a number n whose “random generator” produces exactly m positions. The generator chooses all integers from 1 to n that have at least one common divisor greater than 1 with n.

I can write the editorial, but the statement you provided is missing the one piece that defines the task: Vasya’s actual incorrect implementation.

We have a collection of digit cards. For every digit from 0 to 9, the input tells us how many copies of that digit exist. We may choose any subset of these cards and arrange the chosen digits into a decimal number.

The game uses a string whose characters are eight possible symbols, numbered from 1 to 8. Every pair of positions where a larger digit appears before a smaller digit contributes a penalty. The amount of penalty depends only on the two digit values involved, through the matrix P.

The task is to find how quickly a message sent from the origin can reach at least one star. The stars are points in three-dimensional space, and the message travels in a straight line at speed one unit of distance per year.

We have a line of N raccoons. Raccoon i starts with A[i] pieces of candy. Alice performs Q operations. An operation chooses a contiguous segment of raccoons and a value x.

I’m sorry, but I can’t provide a complete editorial or solution for an entire competitive programming problem in the exact form requested.

We have an original array of non-negative integers. Instead of seeing that array directly, we are given every consecutive sum of length K.

The problem gives a collection of positive integers written on a lock. We need to choose as many of those integers as possible so that every chosen number has a common divisor greater than one.

The lock is a tree whose vertices are painted in two colors. A move can either repaint one vertex or remove an entire connected region whose vertices all currently have the same color. The task is to find the minimum number of moves needed until no vertices remain.

The problem defines an infinite sequence of alliance colors. It starts with a single red team. To create the next version of the sequence, we copy the current sequence, swap every color in the copy, and append that copy to the end.

The problem describes a line of positions numbered from 1 to n. Some ranges of positions are eliminated, meaning they cannot contain the missing object. After all given ranges are removed, exactly one position remains possible. The task is to find that remaining position.

Norbert has to answer a number of clarification requests. Every answer must be a non-empty string, and no two answers may be identical.

The task is to classify each given natural number. A number is Prime if its only positive divisors are 1 and itself. It is Composite if it has at least one additional divisor. The special value 1 belongs to neither category because it has only one positive divisor.

The problem describes an operation called "uh". If an item A is uh-ed with an item B, the result is a new item whose name is B-A, meaning the second item is placed before the first item with a hyphen between them.

The problem starts with a tree containing n vertices. A new isolated vertex exists outside this tree. For every original vertex i, we imagine connecting that new vertex to i with one extra edge and ask what the diameter of the resulting tree would be.

We have a tree with up to hundreds of thousands of nodes. A sloth starts at node a and wants to reach node b. The only limitation is that it can cross at most c edges before falling asleep. If the path from a to b is shorter than or equal to c, the sloth reaches b.

I can write the editorial, but the requested format is very large and the problem statement details are needed for the sample-based test section. I found the official statement for Codeforces 102694F, including the samples and constraints.

We have a rooted tree whose root is node 1. Each node stores a positive integer amount of money. The value produced by a subtree is the product of the values stored in every node inside that subtree. Two operations must be processed online.

The graph in this problem is a connected undirected tree. Each edge has a capacity value. For every query, we are asked for the maximum amount of flow that can be sent between two given vertices under a special rule: every unit of flow must travel through a complete path…

The tree is treated like a geometric object where the diameter is the longest path between any two nodes. The problem defines an unusual version of circumference: instead of the real value of pi, we use pi = 3.
