## Lord of the Values solution codeforces

Table of Contents

While trading on his favorite exchange trader William realized that he found a vulnerability. Using this vulnerability he could change the values of certain internal variables to his advantage. To play around he decided to change the values of all internal variables from a1,a2,,ana1,a2,…,an to a1,a2,,an−a1,−a2,…,−an. For some unknown reason, the number of service variables is always an even number.

William understands that with his every action he attracts more and more attention from the exchange’s security team, so the number of his actions must not exceed 50005000 and after every operation no variable can have an absolute value greater than 10181018. William can perform actions of two types for two chosen variables with indices ii and jj, where i<ji<j:

1. Perform assignment ai=ai+ajai=ai+aj
2. Perform assignment aj=ajaiaj=aj−ai

William wants you to develop a strategy that will get all the internal variables to the desired values.

Input Lord of the Values solution codeforces

Each test contains multiple test cases. The first line contains the number of test cases tt (1t201≤t≤20). Description of the test cases follows.

The first line of each test case contains a single even integer nn (2n1032≤n≤103), which is the number of internal variables.

The second line of each test case contains nn integers a1,a2,,ana1,a2,…,an (1ai109)(1≤ai≤109), which are initial values of internal variables.

Output Lord of the Values solution codeforces

For each test case print the answer in the following format:

The first line of output must contain the total number of actions kk, which the strategy will perform. Note that you do not have to minimize kk. The inequality k104k≤104 must be satisfied.

Each of the next kk lines must contain actions formatted as “type i j“, where “type” is equal to “1” if the strategy needs to perform an assignment of the first type and “2” if the strategy needs to perform an assignment of the second type. Note that i<ji<j should hold.

We can show that an answer always exists.

Note

For the first sample test case one possible sequence of operations is as follows:

1. 2 1 2“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, 0, 1, 1]
2. 2 1 2“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, -1, 1, 1]
3. 2 1 3“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, -1, 0, 1]
4. 2 1 3“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, -1, -1, 1]
5. 2 1 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, -1, -1, 0]
6. 2 1 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, -1, -1, -1]
7. 1 1 2“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [0, -1, -1, -1]
8. 1 1 2“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [-1, -1, -1, -1]

For the second sample test case one possible sequence of operations is as follows:

1. 2 1 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [4, 3, 1, -2]
2. 1 2 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [4, 1, 1, -2]
3. 1 2 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [4, -1, 1, -2]
4. 1 2 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [4, -3, 1, -2]
5. 1 3 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [4, -3, -1, -2]
6. 1 1 2“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [1, -3, -1, -2]
7. 1 1 2“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [-2, -3, -1, -2]
8. 1 1 4“. Values of variables after performing the operation: [-4, -3, -1, -2]

1. What is Codeforces? What kind of a site/resource is it?
Codeforces is a project joining people interested in and taking part in programming contests. On one hand, Codeforces is a social network dedicated to programming and programming contests. On the other hand, it is a platform where contests are held regularly, the participant’s skills are reflected by their rating and the former contests can be used to prepare. Codeforces constantly develops and we plan to improve the platform to give the participants the opportunity to organize their own contests, filling the project with learning content, developing Codeforces as a training and learning platform.
2. What should I do to participate in contests? Is preliminary registration required?
Contests are regularly held on Codeforces. Participating in them is free and open to everybody. Every month we organize approximately six contests. To participate, you have to be registered on the site (if you have an OpenID or a Gmail account, then you won’t even have to memorize the password) and register for the oncoming contest. Make sure that you are present in the list of the users, registered for the contest, before the registration ends. Usually, if you can’t take part in the contest officially (e.g. if it’s the contest for the second division and you are in the first one), then you can register for the contest to participate out of competition.
3. What are the rules of the contests?
They are usually held according to the original Codeforces rules. If it is specially stated, then the International Collegiate Programming Contest rules ACM-ICPC or some other modifications can be used. In brief, on the contests held by Codeforces rules you write solutions to the problems that are tested during the contest on a very small number of tests. Those who have passed that set of solution tests, their authors can block (refuse to resend the solutions of this task in future even if they find a mistake). Such authors receive the opportunity to look through the sources of other contestants, look for mistakes there and suggest the tests on which these solutions do not work. Thus, you can hack somebody else’s solution and earn points through it.
After the contest all the solutions that have passed the pretests and haven’t been hacked are tested on the final set of tests. The value of a task decreases during the contest (the faster you solve the problem, the more points you receive), unsuccessful hacks take off the points and the successful ones add them. Please take a look at the detailed version of the rules before participating in the contest.
4. What languages can I use to solve problems here? Are there any problem solving examples?
5. I would like to organize a Codeforces round with my problems. What should I do to achieve that? Are the authors entitled to get any reward?
Do you want to organize a round? That’s great! We are very pleased to hear that. Please, read the post.
6. What other rules are on Codeforces?
We don’t have a clear Great Codeforces Code of Conduct. However, of course, here you should behave in accordance with traditional rules of behavior in public places and theme groups. The following rules are, of course, necessary to follow:
• Don’t create more than one account, if you have forgotten the password, use the password reminding system.
• Do not use harsh, rude or misleading handle.
• Do not use anybody photo except yours. It is uncultured and could confuse Codeforces users.
• Don’t be rude, don’t insult other participants and administration, try to be polite and pleasant to communicate with.
• When you take part in individual contests, don’t talk about the problems with other contestants, don’t use somebody else’s code or insert it into your solutions. If the contest is a team one, discuss the tasks only with the teammates.
• Don’t try to destabilize the site’s and the checking system’s work. Your programs should only interact with the console (for the problems with the standard input and output) or the input and output data files.
• Don’t publish or spread your solutions and solution ideas during the contest.
7. Which technical details are useful to know about the Codeforces’ testing system?
The Codeforces system resembles classical Online Judges. The solutions are tested on the tests prepared beforehand (or the hacks suggested by other participants). As a result, you receive verdicts, the meaning of which is clear from the title.
8. It should be specially noted that Codeforces does not have the “Presentation Error” verdict, this situation is regarded as “Wrong Answer”. All the suspicious verdicts (testing error etc.) are not considered while evaluating the results. That is also true for the solutions that had fallen on test 1 (in the problems containing more than one test).
9. What are the rating and the divisions?
When the contesters take part in Codeforces contest, they raise or lower their rating that reflects their ability to solve the tasks. The rating is a modification of Elo rating, several details can be read in a fuller form. According to the rating, the contestants are split into two divisions: the second one (the weaker one, amateurs) and the first one (the stronger one, pros).
10. The contestants who don’t take part in contests and those whose rating is below 1900 belong to the second division. The 1900+ rating means that you’re part of the first division. Usually two types of contests are held on Codeforces: for the second division contestants (the first division contestants can take part there out of competition) and for both divisions. The first contest type contains simpler and learning-oriented tasks.
11. What is contribution?
The votes for the posts and comments of a user change his/her contribution. The contribution is intended to show the usefulness of the community user. The contribution counting system is imperfect; in future the rules for its calculation will be changed.
12. What blog posts are useful to take a look at?
13. I’ve noticed that the site contains the solutions of all the contestants and the previous contests’ tests. How is it allowed to use them?
In fact, we publish materials from the past contests and they can be used, for example, for individual lessons. Using the materials on other Online Judges, public contests, etc. is prohibited. Be sure to

read the license before using the materials.

In order to view someone else’s solution, just click on his id on the page “Status”. From the page with the list of tasks you can go to the list of correct decisions for the given task. At the bottom of the “Status” pages (and others with the lists of decisions) there is an option of sorting the solutions on different criteria.
