Subset Dynamic Programming: Code Analysis & Evaluation
Given an enteger grid of dimensions $R \times C$ ($R \leq 12$, $C \leq 2000$), the optimization objective is to assign disjoint subsets of row indices to a selected group of columns. Each assigned column may undergo an independent vertical cyclic shift. The contribution of a column to its allocated rows equals the sum of the elements at those specifci positions. The final result should maximize the aggregate sum across all rows.
Constraints: Time limit $8\text{s}$, Memory limit $1\text{GB}$. Input format specifies $R$ and $C$, followed by the matrix elements where each value $a_{i,j} \leq 10^5$.

Assessment Module
True/False Questions:
-
(2') If
iterateSubmaskis rewritten as:inline void iterateSubmask(int &sub, int fullMask) { sub = fullMask & sub - 1; }The program will encounter a logical error.
-
(1.5') Replacing the output index
memoState[pickLimit - 1][(1 << R) - 1]withmemoState[R < C ? R : C - 1][(1 << R) - 1]will trigger a runtime failure. -
(1.5') Increasing $C$ to $114514$ will cause this implementation to fail correctly handling the input constraints.
-
(2') The core operation supported by this algorithm is swapping two horizontal row sequences.
-
(2') The solver exclusively considers the top $R$ columns based on their maximum element.
