• Including blank cards and markers allows participants to add their own items where needed.
• If no consistent patterns emerge after several card sorts, consider renaming the cards or reconsider the categories.

Hi :)
Some problem about powerful data structure and algorithm SQRT decomposition.
If you want to learn this algorithm click here.
And a big thank to mr_agha_seyed for helping.

Maybe some of them can solve by other data structures like segment tree.

Would be nice to have SQRT decomposition tag for those problems. Now, I guess, all of them in data structures

timus 1846 also nice sqrt-decomp problem.

I'm thinking of splitting the queries in chunks of sqrt(N) and processing them similar to the disjoint-set-union split as described on e-maxx.
First of all, we will call a set a DS which can handle the insert and erase operations in O(1).
Let active set and temp. set be 2 empty sets
For every chunk of sqrt(N) queries:
1. Go through all the remove operations (query type '-') and, if possible, remove those numbers from the active set of numbers, and add them in a temp. set. This loop will take O(sqrt(N)).
2. Let currGcd be the gcd of all the keys in our active set. There are at most O(N) of them.
3. Process the chunk again and take 2 cases:
• The query asks to remove X. We will erase it from our temp. set.
• The query asks to insert X. We will insert it in the temp. set.
The answer for every query will be the gcd of all the keys in the temp. set and our currGcd. There are at most O(sqrt(N)) items in the temp. set, so this loop will take O(N).
At the end of a chunk, move all the items from the temp set to the active set (and clear the temp set).
The overall complexity is O(N * sqrt(N))

можно хранить наши элементы по блокам (gcd всех элементов в нем) + хранить мапу, где запоминаем, в каком блоке лежит число, для ответа пройдемся по блокам и пересчитаем gcd, для добавления/удаления пересчитаем gcd только в одном блоке код

It easily solves with segment tree, each leaf node stores x, non-leaf nodes gcd of its children.

Are Mo Algorithm and SQRT decomposition considered the same?
In SQRT decomposition we divide the array in buckets, solve the task in these buckets and answer each query in O() time (worst case). However, using Mo Algorithm the queries are sorted according to the bucket the left end of the queries falls into ...
I think both methods have the same time complexity, but are they considered the same?

SQRT decomposition combines several approaches and algorithms. Mo Algorithm is one of them.
