Context: Chapter 6
String Processing
The Human Genome has approximately 3.3 Giga base-pairs
— Human Genome Project
6.1
Overview and Motivation
In this chapter, we present one more topic that is tested in ICPC – although not as frequent as
graph and mathematics problems – namely: string processing. String processing is common in
the research ﬁeld of bioinformatics. However, as the strings that researchers deal with are usually
extremely long, eﬃcient data structures and algorithms were necessary. Some of these problems
are presented as contest problems in ICPCs.
By mastering the content of this chapter, ICPC
contestants will have a better chance at tackling those string processing problems.
String processing tasks also appear in IOI, but usually they do not require advanced string data
structures or algorithms due to syllabus [10] restriction. Additionally, the input and output format
of IOI tasks are usually simple1. This eliminates the need to code tedious input parsing or output
formatting commonly found in ICPC problems. IOI tasks that require string processing are usually
still solvable using the problem solving paradigms mentioned in Chapter 3. It is suﬃcient for IOI
contestants to skim through all sections in this chapter except Section 6.5 about string processing
with DP. However, we believe that it may be advantageous for IOI contestants to learn some of the
more advanced materials outside of their syllabus.
6.2
Basic String Processing Skills
We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive pro-
grammer must have. In this section, we give a series of mini tasks that you should solve one after
another without skipping. You can use your favorite programming language (C, C++, or Java).
Try your best to come up with the shortest, most eﬃcient implementation that you can think of.
Then, compare your implementations with ours (see Appendix A). If you are not surprised with
any of our implementations (or can even give simpler implementations), then you are already in a
good shape for tackling various string processing problems. Go ahead and read the next sections.
Otherwise, please spend some time studying our implementations.
1. Given a text ﬁle that contains only alphabet characters [A-Za-z], digits [0-9], space, and
period (‘.’), write a program to read this text ﬁle line by line until we encounter a line
that starts with seven periods (‘‘.......’’). Concatenate (combine) each line into one long
string T. When two lines are combined, give one space between them so that the last word of
the previous line is separated from the ﬁrst word of the current line. There can be up to 30
characters per line and no more than 10 lines for this input block. There is no trailing space
at the end of each line. Note: The sample input text ﬁle ‘ch6.txt’ is shown on the next
page; After question 1.(d) and before task 2.
1IOI 2010-2011 require contestants to implement function interfaces instead of coding I/O routines.

Context: • -R means traverse the directories recursively starting from the current directory and include in the tag file the source code information from all traversed directories. • * means create tags in the tag file for every file that ctags can parse.   Once you've invoked ctags like that, the tag file will be created in the current directory and named tags, as shown in shell snippet 9.8.  Shell snippet 9.8 The Tag File pinczakko@opunaga:~/Project/freebios_flash_n_burn> ls -l ... -rw-r--r--    1 pinczakko users       12794 Aug  8 09:06 tags ...   I condensed the shell output in shell snippet 9.8 to save space. Now, you can traverse the source code using vi. I'll start with flash_rom.c. This file is the main file of the flash_n_burn utility. Open it with vi and find the main function within the file. When you are trying to understand a source code, you have to start with the entry point function. In this case, it's main. Now, you can traverse the source code; to do so, place the cursor in the function call that you want to know and then press Ctrl+] to go to its definition. If you want to know the data structure definition for an object,5 place the cursor in the member variable of the object and press Ctrl+]; vi will take you to the data structure definition. To go back from the function or data structure definition to the calling function, press Ctrl+t. Note that these key presses apply only to vi; other text editors may use different keys. As an example, refer to listing 9.2. Note that I condensed the source code and added some comments to explain the steps to traverse the source code.  Listing 9.2 Moving flash_n_burn Source Code // -- file: flash_rom.c -- int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {   // Irrelevant code omitted    (void) enable_flash_write(); // You will find the definition of this                                // function. Place the cursor in the                                // enable_flash_write function call, then                                // press Ctrl+].    // Irrelevant code omitted }                                                   5 An object is a data structure instance. For example if a data structure is named my_type, then a variable of type my_type is an object, as in my_type a_variable; a_variable is an object.

Context: The preceding sections definition matches the layout shown in figure 3.4 because the output of the makefile in listing 3.3 is a flat binary file. The SECTION keyword starts the section definition. The .text keyword starts the text section definition, the .rodata keyword starts the read-only data section definition, the .data keyword starts the data section definition, and the .bss keyword starts the base stack segment section. The ALIGN keyword is used to align the starting address of the corresponding section definition to some predefined multiple of bytes. In the preceding section definition, the sections are aligned to a 4-byte boundary except for the text section.   The name of the sections can vary depending on the programmer's will. However, the naming convention presented here is encouraged for clarity.  Return to the linker script invocation again in listing 3.3:         $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(ROM_OBJ) $(OBJS)   In the preceding linker invocation, the output from the linker is another object file represented by the ROM_OBJ constant. How are you going to obtain the flat binary file? The next line and previously defined flags in the makefile clarify this:  OBJCOPY= objcopy OBJCOPY_FLAGS= -v -O binary # irrelevant lines omitted...        $(OBJCOPY) $(OBJCOPY_FLAGS) $(ROM_OBJ) $(ROM_BIN)   In these makefile statements, a certain member of GNU binutils called objcopy is producing the flat binary file from the object file. The -O binary in the OBJCOPY_FLAGS informs the objcopy utility that it should emit the flat binary file from the object file previously linked by the linker. However, it must be noted that objcopy merely copies the relevant content of the object file into the flat binary file; it doesn't alter the layout of the sections in the linked object file. The next line in the makefile is as follows:         build_rom $(ROM_BIN) $(ROM_SIZE)   This invokes a custom utility to patch the flat binary file into a valid PCI expansion ROM binary.  Now you have mastered the basics of using the linker script to generate a flat binary file from C source code and assembly source code. Venture into the next chapters. Further information will be presented in the PCI expansion ROM section of this book.     13

Context: Figure 13.3 Steps in comprehending TCG standards implementation in PC architecture 
 
 
Figure 13.3 shows that the first document you have to read is the TCG Specification 
Architecture Overview. Then, proceed to the platform-specific design guide document, 
which in the current context is the PC platform specification document. You have to 
consult the concepts explained in the TPM main specification, parts 1–4, and the TSS 
document while reading the PC platform specification document—the dashed blue arrows 
in figure 13.3 mean "consult." You can download the TCG Specification Architecture 
Overview 
and 
TPM 
main 
specification, 
parts 
1–4, 
at 
https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/TPM. The TSS document is available for 
download at https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/TSS, and the PC platform 
specification 
document 
is 
available 
for 
download 
at 
https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCClient. 
 
The PC platform specification document consists of several files; the relevant ones are 
TCG PC Client–Specific Implementation Specification for Conventional BIOS (as of the 
writing of this book, the latest version of this document is 1.20 final) and PC Client TPM 
Interface Specification FAQ. Reading these documents will give you a glimpse of the 
concepts of trusted computing and some details about its implementation in PC 
architecture. 
 
Before moving forward, I'll explain a bit more about the fundamental concept of trusted 
computing that is covered by the TCG standards. The TCG Specification Architecture 
Overview defines trust as the "expectation that a device will behave in a particular manner 
for a specific purpose." The advanced features that exist in a trusted platform are protected 
capabilities, integrity measurement, and integrity reporting. The focus is on the integrity 
measurement feature because this feature relates directly to the BIOS. As per the TCG 
Specification Architecture Overview, integrity measurement is "the process of obtaining 
metrics of platform characteristics that affect the integrity (trustworthiness) of a platform; 
storing those metrics; and putting digests of those metrics in PCRs [platform configuration 
registers]." I'm not going to delve into this definition or the specifics about PCRs. 
Nonetheless, it's important to note that in the TCG standards for PC architecture, core root 
of trust measurement (CRTM) is synonymous with BIOS boot block. At this point, you have

Context: implementation of the flash ROM chip handler exists in the support file for each type of flash ROM. • flash.h. This file contains the definition of a data structure named flashchip. This data structure contains the function pointers and variables needed to access the flash ROM chip. The file also contains the vendor identification number and device identification number for the flash ROM chip that bios_probe supports. • error_msg.h. This file contains the display routine that declares error messages. • error_msg.c. This file contains the display routine that implements error messages. The error-message display routine is regarded as a helper routine because it doesn't posses anything specific to bios_probe. • direct_io.h. This file contains the declaration of functions related to bios_probe device driver. Among them are functions to directly write and read from the hardware port. • direct_io.c. This file contains the implementation of functions declared in direct_io.h and some internal functions to load, unload, activate, and deactivate the device driver. • jedec.h. This file contains the declaration of functions that is "compatible" for flash ROM from different manufacturers and has been accepted as the JEDEC standard. Note that some functions in jedec.h are not just declared but also implemented as inline functions. • jedec.c. This file contains the implementation of functions declared in jedec.h. • Flash_chip_part_number.c. This is not a file name but a placeholder for the files that implement flash ROM support. Files of this type are w49f002u.c, w39v040fa.c, etc. • Flash_chip_part_number.h. This is not a file name but a placeholder for the files that declare flash ROM support. Files of this type are w49f002u.h, w39v040fa.h, etc.   Consider the execution flow of the main application.

.1 A suggested sequence of chapters for a short introductory course.
Depending on the length of the instruction period, the background of students, and
your interests, you may select subsets of chapters to teach in various sequential order-
ings. For example, if you would like to give only a short introduction to students on data
mining, you may follow the suggested sequence in Figure P.1. Notice that depending on
the need, you can also omit some sections or subsections in a chapter if desired.
Depending on the length of the course and its technical scope, you may choose to
selectively add more chapters to this preliminary sequence. For example, instructors
who are more interested in advanced classiﬁcation methods may ﬁrst add “Chapter 9.
Classiﬁcation: Advanced Methods”; those more interested in pattern mining may choose
to include “Chapter 7. Advanced Pattern Mining”; whereas those interested in OLAP
and data cube technology may like to add “Chapter 4. Data Warehousing and Online
Analytical Processing” and “Chapter 5. Data Cube Technology.”
Alternatively, you may choose to teach the whole book in a two-course sequence that
covers all of the chapters in the book, plus, when time permits, some advanced topics
such as graph and network mining. Material for such advanced topics may be selected
from the companion chapters available from the book’s web site, accompanied with a
set of selected research papers.
Individual chapters in this book can also be used for tutorials or for special topics in
related courses, such as machine learning, pattern recognition, data warehousing, and
intelligent data analysis.
Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, suitable as assigned homework. The exer-
cises are either short questions that test basic mastery of the material covered, longer
questions that require analytical thinking, or implementation projects. Some exercises
can also be used as research discussion topics. The bibliographic notes at the end of each
chapter can be used to ﬁnd the research literature that contains the origin of the concepts
and methods presented, in-depth treatment of related topics, and possible extensions.
T
o the Student
We hope that this textbook will spark your interest in the young yet fast-evolving ﬁeld of
data mining. We have attempted to present the material in a clear manner, with careful
explanation of the topics covered. Each chapter ends with a summary describing the
main points. We have included many ﬁgures and illustrations throughout the text to
make the book more enjoyable and reader-friendly. Although this book was designed as
a textbook, we have tried to organize it so that it will also be useful to you as a reference

Exercise 5.5.7.1: Statement 2 and 4 are not valid. The other 3 are valid.
Chapter 6
Exercise 6.2.1: In C, a string is stored as an array of characters terminated by null, for example
char str[30x10 + 10], line[30 + 10];). It is a good practice to declare array size slightly
bigger than requirement to avoid “oﬀby one” bug.
To read the input line by line and then
concatenate them, we can ﬁrst set strcpy(str, ‘‘’’);, then use gets(line); or fgets(line,
40, stdin);) in string.h (or cstring) library. Note that scanf(‘‘%s’’, line) is not suitable
here as it will only read the ﬁrst word. Then, we can combine the lines into a longer string using
strcat(str, line);. We append a space so that the last word from one line is not accidentally
combined with the ﬁrst word of the next line. We keep repeating this process until strncmp(line,
‘‘.......’’, 7) == 0.
Exercise 6.2.2: For ﬁnding a substring in a relatively short string (i.e.
the standard string
matching problem), we can just use library function. In C, we can use p = strstr(str + pos,
substr);. p == NULL if substr is not found in str + pos. If there are multiple copies of substr
in str, we can set the value of pos to be the index of the ﬁrst occurrence of substr plus one so that
we can get the second occurrence, and so on. Note: This requires understanding of the memory
address of a C array.
Exercise 6.2.3: In many string processing tasks, we are required to iterate through every char-
acters in str once. If there are n characters in str, then such scan requires O(n). In C, we can
use tolower(ch) and toupper(ch) in ctype.h to convert a character to its lower and uppercase
version. There are also isalpha(ch) (and isdigit(ch)) to check whether a given character is
alphabet [A-Za-z] (digit). To test whether a character is a vowel, one method is to prepare a
string vowel = "abcde"; and check if the given character is one of the ﬁve characters in vowel.
To check whether a character is a consonant, simply check if it is an alphabet but not a vowel.
Exercise 6.2.4-5: One of the easiest way to tokenize a string is to use strtok(str, delimiters);
in C. These tokens can be stored in C++ vector<string> tokens. We can then use C++ STL
algorithm::sort to sort vector<string> tokens. When needed, we can convert C++ string
back to C string by using str.c str().
Exercise 6.2.6: We can use C++ STL map<string, int> to keep track the frequency of each
word. Every time we encounter a new token, increase the corresponding frequency by one. Finally,
scan through all tokens and determine the one with the highest frequency.
Exercise 6.2.7: Read char by char and count incrementally, look for the presence of ‘\n’ that
signals the end of a line. Pre-allocating a ﬁxed-sized buﬀer is not a good idea as the problem setter
can set a ridiculously long string to break your code.
Exercise 6.4.1 and Exercise 6.4.2: Run our sample code.
Exercise 6.5.1.1: Diﬀerent scoring scheme will yield diﬀerent (global) alignment. If given string
alignment problem, read the problem statement and see what is the required cost for match,
mismatch, insert, and delete. Adapt the algorithm accordingly.

Convention
There are a lot of C++ codes shown in this book. If they appear, they will be written using this
font. Many of them use typedefs, shortcuts, or macros that are commonly used by competitive
programmers to speed up the coding time. In this short section, we list down several examples.
Java support has been increased substantially in the second edition of this book. This book uses
Java which, as of now, does not support macros and typedefs.
// Suppress some compilation warning messages (only for VC++ users)
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
// Shortcuts for "common" data types in contests
typedef long long
ll;
// comments that are mixed with code
typedef pair<int, int>
ii;
// are aligned to the right like this
typedef vector<ii>
vii;
typedef vector<int>
vi;
#define INF 1000000000
// 1 billion, safer than 2B for Floyd Warshall’s
// Common memset settings
//memset(memo, -1, sizeof memo);
// initialize DP memoization table with -1
//memset(arr, 0, sizeof arr);
// to clear array of integers
// Note that we abandon the usage of "REP" and "TRvii" in the second edition
// to reduce the confusion encountered by new programmers
The following shortcuts are frequently used in our C/C++/Java codes in this book:
// ans = a ? b : c;
// to simplify: if (a) ans = b; else ans = c;
// index = (index + 1) % n;
// from: index++; if (index >= n) index = 0;
// index = (index + n - 1) % n;
// from: index--; if (index < 0) index = n - 1;
// int ans = (int)((double)d + 0.5);
// for rounding to nearest integer
// ans = min(ans, new_computation)
// we frequently use this min/max shortcut
// some codes uses short circuit && (AND) and || (OR)
Problem Categorization
As of 1 August 2011, Steven and Felix – combined – have solved 1502 UVa problems (≈51% of
the entire UVa problems). About ≈1198 of them are discussed and categorized in this book.
These problems are categorized according to a ‘load balancing’ scheme: If a problem can be
classiﬁed into two or more categories, it will be placed in the category with a lower number of
problems. This way, you may ﬁnd problems ‘wrongly’ categorized or problems whose category does
not match the technique you use to solve it. What we can guarantee is this: If you see problem X
in category Y, then you know that we have solved problem X with the technique mentioned in the
section that discusses category Y.
If you need hints for any of the problems, you may turn to the index at the back of this book and
save yourself the time needed to ﬂip through the whole book to understand any of the problems.
The index contains a sorted list of UVa/LA problems number (do a binary search!) which will help
locate the pages that contains the discussion of those problems (and the required data structures
and/or algorithms to solve that problem).
Utilize this categorization feature for your training! To diversify your problem solving skill, it is
a good idea to solve at least few problems from each category, especially the ones that we highlight
as must try * (we limit ourself to choose maximum 3 highlights per category).

Up to this point, you have been able to open the binary file within IDA Pro. This is 
not a trivial task for people new to IDA Pro. That's why it's presented in a step-by-step 
fashion. However, the output in the workspace is not yet usable. The next step is learning 
the scripting facility that IDA Pro provides to make sense of the disassembly database that 
IDA Pro generates. 
 
 
2.3. IDA Pro Scripting and Key Bindings 
 
 
Try to decipher the IDA Pro disassembly database shown in the previous section 
with the help of the scripting facility. Before you proceed to analyzing the binary, you have 
to learn some basic concepts about the IDA Pro scripting facility. IDA Pro script syntax is 
similar to the C programming language. The syntax is as follows:

c
⃝Steven & Felix
2. For multiple input test cases, you should include two identical sample test cases consecutively.
Both must output the same known correct results.
This is to check whether you have forgotten to initialize some variables, which will be easily
identiﬁed if the 1st instance produces the correct output but the 2nd one does not.
3. Your test cases must include large cases.
Increase the input size incrementally up to the maximum possible stated in problem descrip-
tion. Sometimes your program works for small input size, but behave wrongly (or slowly)
when input size increases. Check for overﬂow, out of bounds, etc if that happens.
4. Your test cases must include the tricky corner cases.
Think like the problem setter! Identify cases that are ‘hidden’ in the problem description.
Some typical corner cases: N = 0, N = 1, N = maximum values allowed in problem description,
N = negative values, etc. Think of the worst possible input for your algorithm.
5. Do not assume the input will always be nicely formatted if the problem description does not
say so (especially for a badly written problem). Try inserting white spaces (spaces, tabs) in
your input, and check whether your code is able to read in the values correctly (or crash).
6. Finally, generate large random test cases to see if your code terminates on time and still give
reasonably ok output (the correctness is hard to verify here – this test is only to verify that
your code runs within the time limit).
However, after all these careful steps, you may still get non-AC responses. In ICPC6, you and your
team can actually use the judge’s response to determine your next action. With more experience
in such contests, you will be able to make better judgment. See the next exercises:
Exercise 1.2.4: Situation judging (Mostly in ICPC setting. This is not so relevant in IOI).
1. You receive a WA response for a very easy problem. What should you do?
(a) Abandon this problem and do another.
(b) Improve the performance of your solution (optimize the code or use better algorithm).
(c) Create tricky test cases and ﬁnd the bug.
(d) (In team contest): Ask another coder in your team to re-do this problem.
2. You receive a TLE response for an your O(N3) solution. However, maximum N is just 100.
What should you do?
(a) Abandon this problem and do another.
(b) Improve the performance of your solution (optimize the code or use better algorithm).
(c) Create tricky test cases and ﬁnd the bug.
3. Follow up question (see question 2 above): What if maximum N is 100.000?
4. You receive an RTE response. Your code runs OK in your machine. What should you do?
5. One hour to go before the end of the contest. You have 1 WA code and 1 fresh idea for
another problem. What should you (your team) do?
(a) Abandon the problem with WA code, switch to that other problem in attempt to solve
one more problem.
(b) Insist that you have to debug the WA code. There is not enough time to start working
on a new code.
(c) (In ICPC): Print the WA code. Ask two other team members to scrutinize the code
while you switch to that other problem in attempt to solve two more problems.
6In IOI 2010-2011, contestants have limited tokens that they can use sparingly to check the correctness of their
submitted code. The exercise in this section is more towards ICPC style contest.

Context: in compressed state. The compressed component preceding awardext.rom is the compressed system BIOS, and the byte highlighted in pink is a custom checksum that follows the end-of-file marker for this compressed system BIOS. Other compressed components always end up with an end-of-file marker, and no checksum byte precedes the next compressed component in the BIOS binary.  Proceed to the pure binary component of the Foxconn BIOS. The mapping of this pure binary component inside the hex editor as follows:  1. 6_A9C0h–6_BFFEh: The decompression block. This routine contains the LZH decompression engine 2. 7_E000h–7_FFFFh: This area contains the boot block code.   Between of the pure binary components lay padding bytes.

We know that one cannot win a medal in IOI just by mastering the current version of this book.
While we believe many parts of the IOI syllabus have been included in this book – which should
give you a respectable score in future IOIs – we are well aware that modern IOI tasks requires more
problem solving skills and creativity that we cannot teach via this book. So, keep practicing!
Speciﬁc to the Teachers/Coaches
This book is used in Steven’s CS3233 - ‘Competitive Programming’ course in the School of Com-
puting, National University of Singapore. It is conducted in 13 teaching weeks using the following
lesson plan (see Table 2). The PDF slides (only the public version) are given in the companion web
site of this book. Hints/brief solutions of the written exercises in this book are given in Appendix
A. Fellow teachers/coaches are free to modify the lesson plan to suit your students’ needs.

Table 2: Lesson Plan
To All Readers
Due to the diversity of its content, this book is not meant to be read once, but several times. There
are many written exercises and programming problems (≈1198) scattered throughout the body
text of this book which can be skipped at ﬁrst if the solution is not known at that point of time,
but can be revisited later after the reader has accumulated new knowledge to solve it. Solving
these exercises will strengthen the concepts taught in this book as they usually contain interesting
twists or variants of the topic being discussed. Make sure to attempt them once.
We believe this book is and will be relevant to many university and high school students as
ICPC and IOI will be around for many years ahead. New students will require the ‘basic’ knowledge
presented in this book before hunting for more challenges after mastering this book. But before
you assume anything, please check this book’s table of contents to see what we mean by ‘basic’.

In both scenarios, the representative transactions extracted give us the titles of papers
that effectively capture the meaning of the given patterns. The experiment demonstrates
the effectiveness of semantic pattern annotation to generate a dictionary-like annota-
tion for frequent patterns, which can help a user understand the meaning of annotated
patterns.
The context modeling and semantic analysis method presented here is general and
can deal with any type of frequent patterns with context information. Such semantic
annotations can have many other applications such as ranking patterns, categorizing
and clustering patterns with semantics, and summarizing databases. Applications of
the pattern context model and semantical analysis method are also not limited to pat-
tern annotation; other example applications include pattern compression, transaction
clustering, pattern relations discovery, and pattern synonym discovery.
7.6.2 Applications of Pattern Mining
We have studied many aspects of frequent pattern mining, with topics ranging from efﬁ-
cient mining algorithms and the diversity of patterns to pattern interestingness, pattern

(c) Numeric attributes
(d) Term-frequency vectors
2.6 Given two objects represented by the tuples (22, 1, 42, 10) and (20, 0, 36, 8):
(a) Compute the Euclidean distance between the two objects.
(b) Compute the Manhattan distance between the two objects.
(c) Compute the Minkowski distance between the two objects, using q = 3.
(d) Compute the supremum distance between the two objects.
2.7 The median is one of the most important holistic measures in data analysis. Pro-
pose several methods for median approximation. Analyze their respective complexity
under different parameter settings and decide to what extent the real value can be
approximated. Moreover, suggest a heuristic strategy to balance between accuracy and
complexity and then apply it to all methods you have given.
2.8 It is important to deﬁne or select similarity measures in data analysis. However, there
is no commonly accepted subjective similarity measure. Results can vary depending on
the similarity measures used. Nonetheless, seemingly different similarity measures may
be equivalent after some transformation.
Suppose we have the following 2-D data set:
|  | A<br>1 | A<br>2 |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| x<br>1 | 1.5 | 1.7 |
| x<br>2 | 2 | 1.9 |
| x3 | 1.6 | 1.8 |
| x<br>4 | 1.2 | 1.5 |
| x<br>5 | 1.5 | 1.0 |
(a) Consider the data as 2-D data points. Given a new data point, x = (1.4,1.6) as a
query, rank the database points based on similarity with the query using Euclidean
distance, Manhattan distance, supremum distance, and cosine similarity.
(b) Normalize the data set to make the norm of each data point equal to 1. Use Euclidean
distance on the transformed data to rank the data points.
2.7 Bibliographic Notes
Methods for descriptive data summarization have been studied in the statistics literature
long before the onset of computers. Good summaries of statistical descriptive data min-
ing methods include Freedman, Pisani, and Purves [FPP07] and Devore [Dev95]. For

Context: Figure 12.3 shows that a file system API is installed into the kernel of the operating 
system. Therefore, every time a call to the file system API is made, this hook is executed. 
Note that after the hook is installed, the execution in CIH virus source code is no longer 
"linear"; the file system API hook code is dormant and executes only if the operating 
system requests it—much like a device driver. As you can see in the virus segment source 
code, this hook checks the type of operation carried out and infects the file with a copy of 
the virus code if the file is an executable file. Don't forget that at this point the file system 
hook is a resident entity in the system—think of it as part of the kernel. It has been copied 
to system memory allocated for hooking purposes by the virus code in the beginning of 
listing 12.6. Figure 12.4 shows the state of the CIH virus in the system's virtual address 
space right after file system API hook installation. This should clarify the CIH code 
execution up to this point. 
 
 
Figure 12.4 CIH state in memory after file system API hook installation 
 
 
Don't forget that the file system API hook will be called if the operating system interacts 
with a file, such as when opening, closing, writing, or reading it. 
 
The file system API hook is long. Therefore, I only show its interesting parts in listing 
12.7. In this listing, you can see how the virus destroys the BIOS contents. I focus on that 
subject.

3.6
Chapter Notes
Many problems in ICPC or IOI require one or combination (see Section 8.2) of these problem
solving paradigms. If we have to nominate a chapter in this book that contestants have to really
master, we will choose this one.
The main source of the ‘Complete Search’ material in this chapter is the USACO training
gateway [29]. We adopt the name ‘Complete Search’ rather than ‘Brute-Force’ as we believe that
some Complete Search solution can be clever and fast enough, although it is complete. We believe
the term ‘clever Brute-Force’ is a bit self-contradicting. We will discuss some more advanced search
techniques later in Section 8.3, e.g. A* Search, Depth Limited Search (DLS), Iterative Deepening
Search (IDS), Iterative Deepening A* (IDA*).
Divide and Conquer paradigm is usually used in the form of its popular algorithms: binary
search and its variants, merge/quick/heap sort, and data structures: binary search tree, heap,
segment tree, etc. We will see more D&C later in Computational Geometry (Section 7.4).
Basic Greedy and Dynamic Programming (DP) techniques techniques are always included in
popular algorithm textbooks, e.g. Introduction to Algorithms [3], Algorithm Design [23], Algorithm
[4]. However, to keep pace with the growing diﬃculties and creativity of these techniques, especially
the DP techniques, we include more references from Internet: TopCoder algorithm tutorial [17]
and recent programming contests. In this book, we will revisit DP again on four occasions: Floyd
Warshall’s DP algorithm (Section 4.5), DP on (implicit) DAG (Section 4.7.1), DP on String (Section
6.5), and More Advanced DP (Section 8.4).
However, for some real-life problems, especially those that are classiﬁed as NP-Complete [3],
many of the approaches discussed so far will not work. For example, 0-1 Knapsack Problem which
has O(NS) DP complexity is too slow if S is big; TSP which has O(N2 ×2N) DP complexity is too
slow if N is much larger than 16. For such problems, people use heuristics or local search: Tabu
Search [15, 14], Genetic Algorithm, Ants Colony Optimization, Beam Search, etc.
There are ≈179 UVa (+ 15 others) programming exercises discussed in this chapter.
(Only 109 in the ﬁrst edition, a 78% increase).
There are 32 pages in this chapter.
(Also 32 in the ﬁrst edition, but some content have been reorganized to Chapter 4 and 8).

Now, as you arrive in the decomp_block_start function, right before the ret

, the stack values shown in figure 5.6 have already been popped, except the value 
in the bottom of the stack, i.e., 0xA091. Thus, when the ret instruction executes, the code 
will jump to offset 0xA091. This offset contains the code shown in listing 5.31.

The compressed components can be extracted easily by copying and pasting it into 
a new binary file in Hex Workshop. Then, decompress this new file by using LHA 2.55 or 
WinZip. If you are into using WinZip, give the new file an .lzh extension so that it will be 
automatically associated with WinZip. Recognizing where you should cut to obtain the new 
file is easy. Just look for the -lh5- string. Two bytes before the -lh5- string is the 
beginning of the file, and the end of the file is always 00h, right before the next compressed 
file,3 the padding bytes, or some kind of checksum. As an example, look at the beginning

Context: 6.2. BASIC STRING PROCESSING SKILLS
c
⃝Steven & Felix
(a) Do you know how to store a string in your favorite programming language?
(b) How to read a given text input line by line?
(c) How to concatenate (combine) two strings into a larger one?
(d) How to check if a line starts with string ‘.......’ to stop reading input?
I love CS3233 Competitive
Programming. i also love
AlGoRiThM
.......you must stop after reading this line as it starts with 7 dots
after the first input block, there will be one looooooooooooooooong line...
2. Suppose we have one long string T. We want to check if another string P can be found in T.
Report all the indices where P appears in T or report -1 if P cannot be found in T. For example,
if str = ‘‘I love CS3233 Competitive Programming.
i also love AlGoRiThM’’ and
P = ‘I’, then the output is only {0} (0-based indexing). If uppercase ‘I’ and lowercase ‘i’
are considered diﬀerent, then the character ‘i’ at index {39} is not part of the output. If P
= ‘love’, then the output is {2, 46}. If P = ‘book’, then the output is {-1}.
(a) How to ﬁnd the ﬁrst occurrence of a substring in a string (if any)?
Do we need to implement a string matching algorithm (like Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP)
algorithm discussed in Section 6.4, etc) or can we just use library functions?
(b) How to ﬁnd the next occurrence(s) of a substring in a string (if any)?
3. Suppose we want to do some simple analysis of the characters in T and also to transform
each character in T into lowercase.
The required analysis are: How many digits, vowels
[aeiouAEIOU], and consonants (other lower/uppercase alphabets that are not vowels) are
there in T? Can you do all these in O(n) where n is the length of the string T?
4. Next, we want to break this one long string T into tokens (substrings) and store them into
an array of strings called tokens.
For this mini task, the delimiters of these tokens are
spaces and periods (thus breaking sentences into words). For example, if we tokenize the
string T (already in lowercase form), we will have these tokens = {‘i’, ‘love’, ‘cs3233’,
‘competitive’, ‘programming’, ‘i’, ‘also’, ‘love’, ‘algorithm’}.
(a) How to store an array of strings?
(b) How to tokenize a string?
5. After that, we want to sort this array of strings lexicographically2 and then ﬁnd the lexico-
graphically smallest string. That is, we want to have tokens sorted like this: {‘algorithm’,
‘also’, ‘competitive’, ‘cs3233’, ‘i’, ‘i’, ‘love’, ‘love’, ‘programming’}.
The answer for this example is ‘algorithm’.
(a) How to sort an array of strings lexicographically?
6. Now, identify which word appears the most in T. To do this, we need to count the frequency
of each word. For T, the output is either ‘i’ or ‘love’, as both appear twice.
(a) Which data structure best supports this word frequency counting problem?
7. The given text ﬁle has one more line after a line that starts with ‘.......’. The length of
this last line is not constrained. Count how many characters are there in the last line?
(a) How to read a string when we do not know its length in advance?
2Basically, this is a sort order like the one used in our common dictionary.

Context: 1.3. GETTING STARTED: THE AD HOC PROBLEMS
c
⃝Steven & Felix
• The ‘Josephus’-type problems
The Josephus problem is a classic problem where there are n people numbered from 1, 2, . . . ,
n, standing in a circle. Every m-th person is going to be executed. Only the last remaining
person will be saved (history said it was the person named Josephus). The smaller version of
this problem can be solved with plain brute force. The larger ones require better solutions.
• Problems related to Palindrome or Anagram
These are also classic problems.
Palindrome is a word (or actually a sequence) that can be read the same way in either
direction. The common strategy to check if a word is palindrome is to loop from the ﬁrst
character to the middle one and check if the ﬁrst match the last, the second match the second
last, and so on. Example: ‘ABCDCBA’ is a palindrome.
Anagram is a rearrangement of letters of a word (or phrase) to get another word (or phrase)
using all the original letters. The common strategy to check if two words are anagram is to
sort the letters of the words and compare the sorted letters. Example: wordA = ‘cab’, wordB
= ‘bca’. After sorting, wordA = ‘abc’ and wordB = ‘abc’ too, so they are anagram.
• Interesting Real Life Problems
This is one of the most interesting category of problems in UVa online judge. We believe that
real life problems like these are interesting to those who are new to Computer Science. The
fact that we write programs to solve real problems is an extra motivation boost. Who knows
you may also learn some new interesting knowledge from the problem description!
• Ad Hoc problems involving Time
Date, time, calendar, . . . . All these are also real life problems. As said earlier, people usually
get extra motivation when dealing with real life problems. Some of these problems will be
much easier to solve if you have mastered the Java GregorianCalendar class as it has lots of
library functions to deal with time.
• Just Ad Hoc
Even after our eﬀorts to sub-categorize the Ad Hoc problems, there are still many others that
are too Ad Hoc to be given a speciﬁc sub-category. The problems listed in this sub-category
are such problems. The solution for most problems is to simply follow/simulate the problem
description carefully.
• Ad Hoc problems in other chapters
There are many other Ad Hoc problems which we spread to other chapters, especially because
they require some more knowledge on top of basic programming skills.
– Ad Hoc problems involving the usage of basic linear data structures, especially arrays
are listed in Section 2.2.1.
– Ad Hoc problems involving mathematical computations are listed in Section 5.2.
– Ad Hoc problems involving processing of strings are listed in Section 6.3.
– Ad Hoc problems involving basic geometry skills are listed in Section 7.2.
Tips: After solving some number of programming problems, you will encounter some pattern.
From a C/C++ perspective, those pattern are: libraries to be included (cstdio, cmath, cstring,
etc), data type shortcuts (ii, vii, vi, etc), basic I/O routines (freopen, multiple input format,
etc), loop macros (e.g. #define REP(i, a, b) for (int i = int(a); i <= int(b); i++),
etc), and a few others. A competitive programmer using C/C++ can store all those in a header
ﬁle ‘competitive.h’. Now, every time he wants to solve another problem, he just need to open a
new *.c or *.cpp ﬁle, and type #include<competitive.h>.

page) and Internet resources. Here are some additional references:
• To improve your typing skill as mentioned in Tip 1, you may want to play lots of typing
games that are available online.
• Tip 2 is an adaptation from the introduction text in USACO training gateway [29].
• More details about Tip 3 can be found in many CS books, e.g. Chapter 1-5, 17 of [3].
• Online references for Tip 4 are:
http://www.cppreference.com and http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ for C++ STL;

Context: 1. The assembler must be able to work with the original binary, in particular reading 
bytes from it and replacing bytes in the original binary. 
2. The assembler must be able to produce a final executable13 binary file that 
combines both the injected code and the original binary file. 
 
 
Among all assemblers that I've come across, only FASM that meets both of the 
preceding requirements. That's why I'm using FASM to work with the template. 
 
Figure 12.13 presents the overview of the compilation steps when FASM assembles the 
source code in listing 12.21. 
 
 
Figure 12.13 Overview of PCI expansion ROM "detour patch" assembling steps in FASM 
(simplified) 
 
 
Perhaps, you are confused about what the phrase "FASM interpreter instructions" 
means. These instructions manipulate the result of the compilation process, for example, 
the load and store instructions. I'll explain their usage to clarify this issue. Start with the 
load instruction:

Context: The preceding line informs the linker that you want the output format of the linking process to be an object file in the elf32-i386 format, i.e., object file with executable and linkable format (ELF) for the 32-bit x86 processor family. The next line informs the linker about the exact target machine architecture:  OUTPUT_ARCH(i386)   The preceding line informs the linker that the linked object file will be running on a 32-bit x86-compatible processor. The next line informs the linker about the symbol that represents the entry point of the linked object file:  ENTRY(_start)   This symbol actually is a label that marks the first instruction in the executable binary produced by the linker. In the preceding linker script statement, the label that marks the entry point is _start. In the current example, this label is placed in an assembler file that sets up the execution environment.6 A file like this usually named crt07 and found in most operating system source code.

Chapter Notes
The material about String Alignment (Edit Distance), Longest Common Subsequence, Suﬃx Tree,
and Suﬃx Array are originally from A/P Sung Wing Kin, Ken [36], School of Computing,
National University of Singapore. The materials from A/P Ken’s lecture notes have since evolved
from more theoretical style into the current competitive programming style.
The section about basic string processing skills (Section 6.2) and the Ad Hoc string processing
problems are born from our experience with string-related problems and techniques. The number
of programming exercises mentioned there is about three quarters of all other string processing
problems discussed in this chapter. We are aware that these are not the typical ICPC problems/
IOI tasks, but they are still good programming exercises to improve your programming skills.
Due to some personal requests, we have decided to include a section on the String Matching
problem (Section 6.4). We discussed the library solutions and one fast algorithm (Knuth-Morris-
Pratt/KMP algorithm).
The KMP implementation will be useful if you have to modify basic
string matching requirement yet you still need fast performance. We believe KMP is fast enough
for ﬁnding pattern string in a long string for typical contest problems. Through experimentation,
we conclude that the KMP implementation shown in this book is slightly faster than the built-in C
strstr, C++ string.find and Java String.indexOf. If an even faster string matching algorithm
is needed during contest time for one longer string and much more queries, we suggest using Suﬃx
Array discussed in Section 6.6. There are several other string matching algorithms that are not
discussed yet like Boyer-Moore’s, Rabin-Karp’s, Aho-Corasick’s, Finite State Automata,
etc. Interested readers are welcome to explore them.
We have expanded the discussion of the famous String Alignment (Edit Distance) problem and
its related Longest Common Subsequence problem in Section 6.5. There are several interesting
exercises that discuss the variants of these two problems.
The practical implementation of Suﬃx Array (Section 6.6) is inspired mainly from the article
“Suﬃx arrays - a programming contest approach” by [40]. We have integrated and synchronized
many examples given there with our way of writing Suﬃx Array implementation – a total overhaul
compared with the version in the ﬁrst edition. It is a good idea to solve all the programming
exercises listed in that section although they are not that many yet. This is an important data
structure that will be more and more popular in the near future.
Compared to the ﬁrst edition of this book, this chapter has grown almost twice the size. Similar
case as with Chapter 5. However, there are several other string processing problems that we have
not touched yet: Hashing Techniques for solving some string processing problems, the Short-
est Common Superstring problem, Burrows-Wheeler transformation algorithm, Suﬃx
Automaton, Radix Tree (more eﬃcient Trie data structure), etc.
There are ≈117 UVa (+ 12 others) programming exercises discussed in this chapter.
(only 54 in the ﬁrst edition, a 138% increase).
There are 24 pages in this chapter
(only 10 in the ﬁrst edition, a 140% increase).

Context: book, I am only concerned with pure machine code output because you are dealing with the 
hardware directly without going through any software layer. 
 
Linker script can control every aspect of the linking process, such as the relocation 
of the compilation result, the executable file format, and the executable entry point. Linker 
script is a powerful tool when combined with various GNU binutils.4 Figure 3.2 also shows 
that it's possible to do separate compilation, i.e., compile some assembly language source 
code and then combine the object file result with the C language compilation object file 
result by using LD linker. 
 
There are two routes to building a pure machine code or executable binary if you 
are using GCC: 
 
1. Source code compilation Æ Object file Æ LD linker Æ Executable binary 
2. Source code compilation Æ Object file Æ LD linker Æ Object file Æ Objcopy Æ 
Executable binary 
 
 
This section deals with the second route. I explain the linker script that's used to 
build the experimental PCI expansion ROM in part 3 of this book. It's a simple linker script. 
Thus, it's good for learning purposes. 
 
Start with the basic structure of a linker script file. The most common linker script 
layout is shown in figure 3.3. 
 
 
Figure 3.3 Linker script file layout 
 
 
Linker script is just an ordinary plain text file. However, it conforms to certain 
syntax dictated by LD linker and mostly uses the layout shown in figure 3.3. Consider the 
makefile and the linker script used in chapter 7 as an example. You have to review the 
makefile with the linker script because they are tightly coupled. 
                                                                                                                            
 
3 The format of an executable file is operating system dependent. 
4 GNU binutils is an abbreviation for GNU binary utilities, the applications that come with GCC for 
binary manipulation purposes. 
6 Execution environment is the processor operating mode. For example, in a 32-bit x86-compatible 
processor, there are two major operating modes, i.e., 16-bit real mode and 32-bit protected mode.

Context: Chapter 2 Preliminary Reverse Code Engineering   PREVIEW   This chapter introduces software reverse engineering1 techniques by using IDA Pro disassembler. Techniques used in IDA Pro to carry out reverse code engineering of a flat binary file are presented. BIOS binary flashed into the BIOS chip is a flat binary file.2 That's why these techniques are important to master. The IDA Pro advanced techniques presented include scripting and plugin development. By becoming acquainted with these techniques, you will able to carry out reverse code engineering in platforms other than x86.   2.1. Binary Scanning   The first step in reverse code engineering is not always firing up the disassembler and dumping the binary file to be analyzed into it, unless you already know the structure of the target binary file. Doing a preliminary assessment on the binary file itself is recommended for a foreign binary file. I call this preliminary assessment binary scanning, i.e., opening up the binary file within a hex editor and examining the content of the binary with it. For an experienced reverse code engineer, sometimes this step is more efficient rather than firing up the disassembler. If the engineer knows intimately the machine architecture where the binary file was running, he or she would be able to recognize key structures within the binary file without firing up a disassembler. This is sometimes encountered when an engineer is analyzing firmware.  Even a world-class disassembler like IDA Pro seldom has an autoanalysis feature for most firmware used in the computing world. I will present an example for such a case. Start by opening an Award BIOS binary file with Hex Workshop version 4.23. Open a BIOS binary file for the Foxconn 955X7AA-8EKRS2 motherboard. The result is shown in figure 2.1.                                                    1 Software reverse engineering is also known as reverse code engineering. It is sometimes abbreviated as RCE. 2 A flat binary file is a file that contains only the raw executable code (possibly with self-contained data) in it. It has no header of any form, unlike an executable file that runs within an operating system. The latter adheres to some form of file format and has a header so that it can be recognized and handled correctly by the operating system.   1

Exercise 1.2.4: Answers for situation judging are in bracket:
1. You receive a WA response for a very easy problem. What should you do?
(a) Abandon this problem and do another. (not ok, your team will lose out).
(b) Improve the performance of your solution. (not useful).
(c) Create tricky test cases and ﬁnd the bug. (the most logical answer).
(d) (In ICPC): Ask another coder in your team to re-do this problem. (this is a logical
answer. this can work although your team will lose precious penalty time).
2. You receive a TLE response for an your O(N3) solution. However, maximum N is just 100.
What should you do?
(a) Abandon this problem and do another. (not ok, your team will lose out).
(b) Improve the performance of your solution. (not ok, we should not get TLE with
an O(N3) algorithm if N ≤≈200).
(c) Create tricky test cases and ﬁnd the bug. (this is the answer; maybe your program
is accidentally trapped in an inﬁnite loop in some test cases).
3. Follow up question (see question 2 above): What if maximum N is 100.000?
(If N > 200, you have no choice but to improve the performance of the algorithm
or use a faster algorithm).
4. You receive an RTE response. Your code runs OK in your machine. What should you do?
Possible causes for RTE are usually array size too small or stack overﬂow/inﬁnite
recursion. Design test cases that can possibly cause your code to end up with
these situations.
5. One hour to go before the end of the contest. You have 1 WA code and 1 fresh idea for
another problem. What should you (your team) do?
(a) Abandon the problem with WA code, switch to that other problem in attempt to solve
one more problem. (in individual contests like IOI, this may be a good idea).
(b) Insist that you have to debug the WA code. There is not enough time to start working
on a new code. (if the idea for another problem involves complex and tedious
code, then deciding to focus on the WA code may be a good idea rather than
having two incomplete/‘non AC’ codes).
(c) (In ICPC): Print the WA code. Ask two other team members to scrutinize the printed
code while one coder switches to that other problem in attempt to solve TWO more
problems. (if the idea for another problem is can be coded in less than 30
minutes, then code this one while hoping your team mates can ﬁnd the bug
for the WA code by looking at the printed code).

Context: Figure 6.3 shows the commands applicable to cbrom. Displaying the options or help in cbrom is just like in DOS days; just type /? to see the options and their explanation.  Now, get into a little over-the-edge cbrom usage. Remove and reinsert the system BIOS extension in Iwill VD133 BIOS. This BIOS is based on Award BIOS version 4.50PG code. Thus, its system BIOS extension is decompressed into segment 4100h during POST, not to segment 1000h as you saw in chapter 5, when you reverse engineered Award BIOS. Here is an example of how to release the system BIOS extension from this particular BIOS binary using cbrom in a windows console:  E:\BIOS_M~1>CBROM207.EXE VD30728.BIN /other 4100:0 release CBROM V2.07 (C)Award Software 2000 All Rights Reserved. [Other] ROM is release E:\BIOS_M~1>   Note that the system BIOS extension is listed as the "other" component. Now, see how you insert the system BIOS extension back to the BIOS binary:  E:\BIOS_M~1>CBROM207.EXE VD30728.BIN /other 4100:0 awardext.rom CBROM V2.07 (C)Award Software 2000 All Rights Reserved. Adding awardext.rom .. 66.7%  E:\BIOS_M~1>   So far, I've been playing with cbrom. The rest is just more exercise to become accustomed with it.  Proceed to the last tool, the chipset datasheet. Reading a datasheet is not a trivial task for a beginner to hardware hacking. The first thing to read is the table of contents. However, I will show you a systematic approach to reading the chipset datasheet efficiently:  1. Go to the table of contents and notice the location of the chipset block diagram. The block diagram is the first thing that you must comprehend to become accustomed to the chipset datasheet. And one more thing to remember: you have to be acquainted with the bus protocol, or at least know the configuration mechanism, that the chipset uses. 2. Look for the system address map for the particular chipset. This will lead you to system-specific resources and other important information regarding the address space and I/O space usage in the system. 3. Finally, look for the chipset register setting explanation. The chipset register setting will determine the overall performance of the motherboard when the BIOS has been executed. When a bug occurs in a motherboard, it's often the chipset register value initialization that causes the trouble.   You may want to look for additional information. In that case, just proceed on your own.   5
