Summary

  • •Phase 6 / dsu/components
  • •Reasoning-first competitive programming drill

Problem Description

Given an undirected graph with n nodes and m edges. Each node has a color (1..c). Output the number of connected components in the graph containing at least one node of each color. How to read this problem in plain language: - This is a Phase 6 reasoning drill focused on dsu/components. - Typical lenses to test first: graph, dsu, connected-components. - Constraints reminder: 1 ≤ c≤10, 1 ≤ n≤105, 0 ≤ m≤2×105 Mini examples for mental simulation: 1) Boundary example: Describe why this case is tricky. Explain expected behavior and why naive logic may fail. 2) Adversarial example: Adversarial case where naive greedy/local decision looks correct but fails globally. Lite-mode writing target: - Write 1~2 observations that shrink the search space. - Name one final algorithm and state target complexity explicitly. - Validate with at least 2 edge cases and one hand simulation.
