Problem Understanding

The problem models a spaceship that starts at the origin of an infinite grid. During the game, new jump skills are added. A skill (a, b) allows the spaceship to move by adding or subtracting that vector any number of times, so the set of reachable positions is exactly the integer lattice generated by all acquired vectors.

For a reward event, a mission appears at coordinate (x, y) with value w. The mission can be completed only if (x, y) is currently reachable. Since the spaceship can collect every reachable reward independently and skills only accumulate, the answer is the sum of all reward values from missions that belong to the current generated lattice.

The number of events can reach 10^5 per test case and the total can reach 10^6. A solution that checks every previous skill for every query would require up to 10^11 operations, which cannot fit into the time limit. The solution must process each event close to logarithmic time.

The main difficulty is that the reachable set is not just about the greatest common divisor of coordinates. For example, having skills (2,0) and (0,2) allows only points where both coordinates are even. The point (2,2) is reachable, but (2,1) is not. A single gcd value loses this information.

Some edge cases are easy to miss.

With no skills, every mission is impossible.

4
2 1 1 10
1 2 0
2 4 0 5
2 1 0 7

The correct answer is 5, because only (4,0) becomes reachable after the skill (2,0) is acquired. A solution that assumes the origin or all points are reachable would overcount.

A single skill creates a one-dimensional line, not a full plane.

3
1 2 4
2 1 2 10
2 2 4 5

The correct answer is 5. The first mission is impossible because (1,2) is not a multiple of (2,4). The second one is reachable. Treating one vector as a complete two-dimensional basis gives a wrong answer.

A vector with zero coordinates must also work correctly.

3
1 0 3
2 0 6 8
2 1 3 10

The correct answer is 8. The first skill allows only vertical movement. The point (1,3) cannot be reached.

Approaches

A direct approach would store every acquired skill and, for each mission, solve whether the target coordinate can be represented as an integer combination of all stored vectors. Gaussian elimination over all previous vectors would repeatedly rebuild the same information, making the total cost far too large.

The key observation is that the generated set is always a two-dimensional integer lattice. We do not need all vectors. We only need a compact basis describing the current lattice.

In two dimensions, a lattice can be stored in Hermite normal form:

(a, 0)
(c, d)

where every reachable point has the form:

(a * p + c * q, d * q)

for integers p and q.

This representation gives a constant-time membership test. A point (x, y) is reachable exactly when y is divisible by d, and after removing the second basis vector contribution, the remaining x-coordinate is divisible by a.

When a new vector arrives, we update the basis instead of rebuilding it. The update uses gcd operations because adding a vector changes the index of the lattice through gcds of determinants. Determinants describe the area of the parallelogram formed by lattice vectors, and the gcd of those areas gives the new lattice index.

Approach Time Complexity Space Complexity Verdict
Brute Force O(Q²) O(Q) Too slow
Hermite Normal Form maintenance O(Q log C) O(1) Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

  1. Maintain the current lattice in one of three states. It can be empty, a single line generated by one primitive direction, or a full two-dimensional lattice stored as (a, c, d).
  2. When a new skill is added, first check whether the lattice is empty. If it is, the skill becomes the first generator.
  3. If the current lattice has one direction, check whether the new vector is parallel to it. If it is parallel, update the step size using a gcd. If it is not parallel, two independent vectors now exist, so convert them into the two-dimensional Hermite form.
  4. If the lattice already has two dimensions, update the Hermite basis. The new vertical period becomes gcd(d, y). The new lattice index is found from gcds of the old index and the determinants created by the new vector.
  5. For a reward query, test membership in the current lattice. If the point belongs to it, add its reward value to the answer.

Why it works:

The maintained basis always generates exactly the same set of points as all acquired skills. Adding a skill only enlarges the lattice, and the gcd and determinant formulas compute the smallest lattice containing both the old basis and the new vector. Since every query is answered directly against this exact lattice representation, every accepted reward is reachable and every rejected reward is unreachable.

The implementation keeps only the current lattice description, so memory usage stays constant. The add method follows the three lattice states described in the walkthrough. The two-dimensional update is the most delicate part: idx stores the new lattice index, and egcd(d, y) constructs a combination whose y-coordinate is the new vertical period.

The membership test for the full lattice first checks the y-coordinate because every generated vector has a y-coordinate that is a multiple of d. After fixing the coefficient of the second basis vector, the remaining x-coordinate must belong to the horizontal subgroup.

The one-dimensional case is separated because a single vector does not define a unique Hermite basis. Forgetting this case is a common source of wrong answers.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time O(Q log C) Every event performs only gcd and extended gcd operations on coordinates bounded by the input size.
Space O(1) Only the current lattice basis and the accumulated answer are stored.

The constraints allow millions of events, so avoiding any dependence on the number of previous skills is necessary. The maintained lattice representation keeps every operation small enough for the limit.

Edge Cases

For an empty lattice, the algorithm keeps typ = 0. A mission is accepted only at (0,0), which is the only point reachable before any skill is acquired.

For a single vector such as (2,4), the algorithm does not pretend the whole plane is reachable. It stores the primitive direction (1,2) and the step size 2, so only (2k,4k) positions pass the membership check.

For zero-coordinate vectors, the same representation still works. A skill (0,3) creates a vertical line, and the query logic checks the missing coordinate explicitly instead of performing an invalid division.

For two-dimensional lattices, the Hermite form prevents hidden parity mistakes. For example, skills (2,0) and (0,2) produce a basis describing exactly the even grid, so (1,1) is rejected while (4,2) is accepted.
