Problem type

Allowed languages

Brain****, C, C++, Pascal, Rust

For a while now, FatalEagle has been thinking about fast multiplication. He found the problem on SPOJ, MUL, and solved it without too much trouble. Then he found VFMUL on the same site, but the same code for MUL didn't pass as the SPOJ servers were really slow. Frustrated and desperate to ~~show off~~ demonstrate his fast multiplication code, FatalEagle has created a problem that really tests the accuracy and speed of your fast multiplication code.

Input Specification

The first line of input will have $A$ ~A~.

The second line of input will have $B$ ~B~.

Both $A$ ~A~ and $B$ ~B~ will be non-negative integers strictly less than $10^{1\,000\,001}$ ~10^{1\,000\,001}~.

Output Specification

Output the product $A \times B$ ~A \times B~.

why do i tle in c++14 but I pass all the cases in clang++

Brainfuck is now enabled for this problem.

Please, I want to watch somebody write FFT in brainfuck.

I wrote the entire code on my IDE for java only to realize it doesn't allow it..... ;(

Have you tried using a BigIntegers datatype? I'm not sure if it works but that's probably your best chance at solving this problem.

Hmmm. Is it possible for you to allow Lua on this question? Or is it not possible?

So close... any tips on improving Karatsuba?

wleung_bvg commented on Aug. 11, 2018, 5:01 p.m.

Well Karatsuba was not the intended solution...

Yeah I initially wanted to implement FFT but it didn't quite workout, any idea on how to avoid overflow in NTT, choosing a modulo bigger then $2^{32}$ ~2^{32}~ then multiplication overflows but if I choose a modulo smaller then $2^{32}$ ~2^{32}~(for example $7\cdot2^{26}+1$ ~7\cdot2^{26}+1~) then the result is incorrect (or I can take base $b=10$ ~b=10~ which TLE's).

No JAVA?

Why not JAVA? Isn't BigInteger capable of processing numbers of any range?

Funny thing; I was reading the Java BigInteger documentation, and the fastest multiplication method would take 6 seconds on a worst case.

arock commented on Dec. 6, 2015, 9:59 p.m.

That is precisely why Java is disallowed.

Couldn't we disable bigInteger and bigDecimal like a + b hard?

Kirito commented on Dec. 1, 2017, 10:17 p.m.

There exists a certain com.sun.media.sound.FFT, which would trivialize the problem. As we currently do not trivially support the banning of arbitrary packages, Java will continue to be banned.

yes i agree

I think the reason why it was not allowed later on was because Java is a lot slower than the currently allowed languages; now that custom language limits are allowed, someone needs to write a correct Java solution and then the Time Limits might be set accordingly.

You could always bug Kirito via slack for these things btw, he undoubtedly enjoys it.

As a side note, the current TL is probably too lenient as well because the judges are a lot faster now than they were ~3 yrs ago. (So maybe even Java can pass on the judge with these TLs)

Time limit lowered to 2s. Karatsuba shall not pass!

My Karatsuba pass the tests, even faster than some FFTs implementations.
