Let be the number of baby crabs that are months old, and let be the number of crabs that are adults. The transition from month to month is given by:
Subtask 1
For 20% of points, we can implement this transition directly with two nested for loops.
Time Complexity:
Subtask 2
For the remaining 80% of points, we note the transformation is linear, and we can represent it with the matrix :
where is the identity matrix.
Then we can obtain the answer with
We can compute quickly using binary exponentiation.
Time Complexity:
