## 1) Abridged problem statement

You are given `n` measured integers `x1..xn`. There are `m` quantization level sets `L0..L(m-1)`, each containing `s` integer levels (sorted). For each position `j`, you must choose an index `kj` (0…s−1) and quantize `xj` to level `Lj[kj]`, where `Lj` is the set used at that position.

The set used evolves deterministically:
- The first value uses set `L0`.
- If position `j` uses set `Li` and you choose index `kj`, then the next set index is  
  `f(j+1) = kj & (m-1)` (bitwise AND).

Goal: choose all indices `k1..kn` to minimize total deviation  
\[
\sum_{j=1}^{n} |x_j - L_{f(j)}[k_j]|
\]
Output the minimal deviation and the chosen indices `k1..kn`.

Constraints: `n ≤ 1000`, `m ≤ 128`, `s ≤ 128`, `m ≤ s`.

## 2) Detailed editorial (DP)

### Key observation
The choice of `kj` affects:
1) immediate error: `|xj - Lset[kj]|`
2) next set: `next_set = kj & (m-1)`

So a locally best level might lead to a worse next set, increasing future error. This is a classic dynamic programming with state = “position + current set”.

### DP definition
Let:

- `dp[j][set]` = minimal total deviation for quantizing positions `j..n-1` (0-based),
  **given that** position `j` must use level set `Lset`.

Answer will be `dp[0][0]` because the first quantization uses `L0`.

### Transition
At `(j, set)` we may choose any level index `k ∈ [0, s-1]`:

- quantized value: `L[set][k]`
- immediate cost: `abs(x[j] - L[set][k])`
- next set: `next_set = k & (m-1)`
- future cost: `dp[j+1][next_set]`

So:
\[
dp[j][set] = \min_{k=0..s-1} \left( |x[j] - L[set][k]| + dp[j+1][(k\ \&\ (m-1))] \right)
\]

Base case:
- `dp[n][set] = 0` for all `set` (no elements left).

### Reconstruction
To output the chosen `kj`, store:
- `choice[j][set]` = index `k` that achieved the minimum in `dp[j][set]`.

Then simulate forward:
- start `cur_set = 0`
- for `j=0..n-1`:
  - `k = choice[j][cur_set]`
  - output `k`
  - `cur_set = k & (m-1)`

### Complexity
States: `(n * m)` ≤ `1000 * 128 = 128k`  
Transitions per state: `s` ≤ 128  
Time: `O(n*m*s)` ≤ ~16 million operations (fast).  
Memory: `O(n*m)` for dp and choices.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

}

void solve() {
    // Given n values x[0..n-1], m=2^p level sets each of size s=2^q, where
    // L[i][k] is the k-th level in set i. We must replace each x[j] with some
    // level L[set][k] from the current set, minimizing sum |x[j] - L[set][k]|.
    // The first value uses set 0. The chosen index k's p LSBs
    // determine the next set: next_set = k & (m-1). So picking a suboptimal
    // level now can lead to a better set (and lower total error) later.
    //
    // We solve this with DP backwards. dp[j][set] is the min total deviation
    // for x[j..n-1] when position j uses level set `set`. For each (j, set), we
    // try all s level indices k, pay |x[j] - L[set][k]| and transition to
    // dp[j+1][k & (m-1)]. We track choices for reconstruction. The complexity
    // is O(n * m * s), with n=1000, m=128, s=128 that's ~16M ops, fast enough
    // for the 0.25s time limit.
