## 1) Abridged problem statement (concise)

You are given a description of a synchronous digital circuit with named junctions (wires). Some junctions are **primary inputs** (`INPUT(name)`), some are **requested outputs** (`OUTPUT(name)`), and the rest are defined by logic gates:

- `NOT(x)`
- `AND(x1, x2, ...)`, `NAND(...)`
- `OR(x1, x2, ...)`, `NOR(...)`
- `DFF(x)` — a D-type flip-flop: its output equals its input **delayed by one tick**; before the first tick all DFF outputs are `0`.

After the line `INPUT VALUES`, each following line gives a bitstring (in the same order as `INPUT(...)` lines) for one clock tick. For each tick, output a bitstring of the requested `OUTPUT(...)` junction values (in the same order as outputs were listed).  
Constraints: up to 5000 junctions, up to 500 ticks.

---

## 2) Detailed editorial (how the solution works)

### Key observation
The circuit forms a directed dependency graph: each junction’s value is a function of other junction values. The only sequential element is `DFF`, which outputs a stored state from the previous tick.

So at each tick we must:
1. Assign the primary input values for this tick.
2. Evaluate the requested output junctions by recursively evaluating dependencies.
3. Compute the **next** DFF states by evaluating each DFF’s input (still within the current tick).
4. Update DFF states for the next tick.

The input guarantees the circuit “operates correctly” (i.e., no invalid combinational cycles). DFF breaks cycles by using previous state.

### Parsing
We read the file line-by-line, ignoring:
- comment lines starting with `#`
- empty lines

Before `INPUT VALUES`:
- `INPUT(name)` → create/get an id for `name`, mark it as an input node, and remember input order.
- `OUTPUT(name)` → remember its id in output order.
- `lhs = OP(arg1, arg2, ...)` → create/get id for `lhs`, set its gate type, store ids of its input junctions. If `OP` is `DFF`, also remember this node in a list of DFF nodes.

We map junction name → integer id (`unordered_map`) and store nodes in a vector.

### Evaluation per tick: DFS + memoization
We compute values on demand using a recursive function `eval(u)`.

To avoid recomputing the same node multiple times in one tick, we memoize:
- `val[u]` = computed value for current tick
- `seen[u]` = stamp of last tick in which `val[u]` was computed

We increment a global `stamp` each tick. Then “computed in this tick” is `seen[u] == stamp`.

Gate semantics:
- `INPUT`: value is directly set from the tick’s input bitstring
- `DFF`: value is `dff_out[pos]` (stored previous-tick state)
- `NOT`: `1 - eval(in0)`
- `AND`: bitwise AND across inputs
- `NAND`: `1 - AND(...)`
- `OR`: bitwise OR across inputs
- `NOR`: `1 - OR(...)`

### Updating DFFs
Important: all DFF outputs for the tick come from the *old* `dff_out`.  
After producing outputs, compute `next_dff[d] = eval(input_of_that_DFF)` for each DFF node.  
Then swap `dff_out = next_dff`.

This implements the “one tick delay” exactly.

### Complexity
Let:
- `N` = number of junctions (≤ 5000)
- `Q` = number of ticks (≤ 500)

Each tick evaluates only the part of the circuit reachable from outputs and DFF inputs, and each node is evaluated at most once per tick due to memoization.  
Time: `O(Q * (N + E))` in worst case, easily fits.  
Memory: `O(N + E)`.

## 5) Compressed editorial

Parse the circuit into nodes (junctions) with types and input edges; map names to ids. Keep arrays of input ids (order), output ids (order), and DFF ids. Maintain `dff_out[]` state initialized to 0.

For each tick bitstring:
1) set `val[input_id]` accordingly;  
2) evaluate each output via DFS recursion with memoization (stamp trick) implementing gate logic; DFF returns `dff_out[pos]`;  
3) compute `next_dff[d] = eval(DFF_input)` for all DFFs;  
4) assign `dff_out = next_dff`; print output bitstring.

Each node is evaluated at most once per tick ⇒ fast for N ≤ 5000, ticks ≤ 500.
