Codeforces 1741E Sending a Sequence - Determining the Final Answer

Learn how to extract the final answer from the DP state

dp[i]=falsefor all i1 initially.dp[i] = \text{false} \quad \text{for all } i \ge 1 \text{ initially}.

4.4. Determine the final answer

Here the fourth step is also simple: if the whole array can be split into valid blocks, then the answer is YES if dp[n]=truedp[n] = \text{true}, and NO otherwise.

So the only missing piece is the transition (how dp[i]dp[i] depends on earlier dp values). Before moving to the next unit, try to think: given this definition of dp[i]dp[i], how do you find which earlier states matter?
