Lavanya is shopping for her first house. At an open house, a real estate agent calls the house a "smart home" and explains that all of the home appliances are also computing devices that are connected together in a computer network. What is the benefit of networking the devices together?

Your program will make use of long long int variables for all calculations. note: the use of long long int requires that you have c++11 support. you should have this automatically if you are using a newer version of visual studio. the support is there for gcc as well, but you may need the -std=c++11 or -std=c++0x compiler flag. you first need to read in the total number of seconds. there is no prompt for the read (that is, you just do the cin without using a cout to display a prompt). this is going to seem a little strange when you are running your program in your ide

Some of your friends have gotten into the burgeoning field of time-series data mining, in which one looks for patterns in sequences of events that occur over time. purchases at stock exchanges"what's being bought" are one source of data with a natural ordering in time. given a long sequence s of such events, your friends want an efficient way to detect certain "patterns" in them"for example, they may want to know if the four events buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy oracle occur in this sequence s, in order but not necessarily consecutively. they begin with a collection of possible events (e.g., the possible transactions) and a sequence s of n of these events. a given event may occur multiple times in s (e.g., yahoo stock may be bought many times in a single sequence s). we will say that a sequence s is a subsequence of s if there is a way to delete certain of the events from s so that the remaining events, in order, are equal to the sequence s . so, for example, the sequence of four events above is a subsequence of the sequence buy amazon, buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy yahoo, buy oracle their goal is to be able to dream up short sequences and quickly detect whether they are subsequences of s. so this is the problem they pose to you: give an algorithm that takes two sequences of events"s of length m and s of length n, each possibly containing an event more than once"and decides in time o(m + n) whether s is a subsequence of s.
