## 1) Abridged problem statement

You’re given a syntactically correct boolean expression over variables `a..j` with operators:

- unary: `!` (NOT)
- binary: `&` (AND), `||` (OR), `<=>` (equivalence), `=>` (implication), `#` (XOR)

Operator precedence: `!` highest, `&` middle, all others lowest. Parentheses can appear.

Output an **equivalent** expression (same truth table for all assignments of `a..j`) that contains **no parentheses**, and whose length is ≤ 32768.

---

## 2) Detailed editorial (solution idea)

### Key observations
1. There are only **10 variables** (`a..j`), so there are at most `2^10 = 1024` different assignments of truth values.
2. If we can evaluate the given expression for every assignment, we know exactly which assignments make it `true`.
3. From those satisfying assignments we can build a **DNF** (Disjunctive Normal Form):
   - For each assignment that makes the expression true, create a conjunction (AND-chain) describing that assignment:
     - variable is `x` if it’s true
     - variable is `!x` if it’s false
   - OR (`||`) together all such conjunctions.
4. Such a DNF needs **no parentheses** because `&` has higher precedence than `||`, so
   ```
   a&b||a&c
   ```
   is parsed as `(a&b) || (a&c)` automatically.

### Parsing / evaluating the original expression
We must correctly respect precedence and parentheses. A standard recursive-descent parser works well:

- `parse_low` handles the *lowest-precedence* binary operators: `||`, `<=>`, `=>`, `#`
- `parse_mid` handles `&`
- `parse_high` handles unary `!`
- `parse_atom` handles variables `a..j` and parenthesized subexpressions `( ... )`

Each parser function consumes characters from the global string using an index `pos` and returns a boolean value for a given assignment `mask` (10-bit mask).

### Building the DNF
1. Detect which variables actually appear in the expression (at most 10, often fewer). Let there be `k` used variables.
2. For each full 10-variable mask `0..1023`:
   - evaluate the expression
   - if it is true, compress the assignment down to only the `k` used vars (so output clauses don’t mention unused variables)
3. If there are **no** satisfying assignments, output a contradiction like `a&!a`.
4. Otherwise, output all satisfying minterms:
   ```
   (lit1 & lit2 & ... & litk) || ( ... ) || ...
   ```
   without parentheses; join literals in a clause with `&` and clauses with `||`.

### Correctness sketch
- The parser evaluates the expression exactly according to the problem’s grammar and precedence rules.
- The produced DNF is true on exactly the same assignments as the original formula (by construction, it ORs precisely the satisfying assignments).
- Therefore, the output is logically equivalent and parenthesis-free.

### Complexity
- Evaluate expression up to 1024 times.
- Each evaluation scans the expression (≤ 2048 chars) with the parser.
- Upper bound is easily fast enough: about ~2 million character operations.

## 5) Compressed editorial

- With only variables `a..j`, there are at most `1024` assignments.
- Parse and evaluate the expression for every assignment (recursive descent with precedence: `!` > `&` > others).
- Collect all assignments where the expression is `true`.
- Output their DNF: for each satisfying assignment print a conjunction of literals (`x` or `!x`) over used variables, join literals by `&`, and join clauses by `||`.
- No parentheses are needed since `&` binds tighter than `||`.
- If no assignment satisfies the expression, print `a&!a`.
