I read other posts about this and tried almost all test cases given on SPOJ Toolkit and it seems to work fine, but when I submit on SPOJ, it says wrong answer on judge 9.

Please Check.

Please Check line 53, I updated there.

I checked it with @neilit1992 s code, tried inputs from spojtoolkit and even printed all the nodes of segment trees of both the programs (mine and @neilit1992 ) and they were exactly same.

Still no Luck :frowning:

Thats my

If someone can provide some more boundary cases (except those on spoj toolkit) that would be really helpful.

Thanks

Check Line 58, shouldn’t you return best sum as minimum value?

Please Check, I guess the following code should be there:

  return (node)				

	{min, 
		min, 
		min, 
		min
	};

@shraeyas the problem is in this line

pr.best = maxfun(maxfun(left.rsum+right.total, left.total + right.lsum),maxfun(left.best, right.best));

It should be corrected to

pr.best = maxfun(left.rsum + right.lsum, maxfun(left.best, right.best));

However this will still give you TLE since you are using a map. Access is faster on an array than a map, so use a large enough array instead and you should get AC :slight_smile:

First of all, apologies @shraeyas for random suspension you went through since last 4 hours.
This being a long story, please bear with me.

@shraeyas was suspended earlier on 3rd March due to spamming activity on discussion forum for 15 days i.e. till 18th March. But we recently found out bug in auto removal of suspension and got fixed today morning. After this all users who were temporary suspended, got their accounts back on discuss (including @shraeyas).

But, unfortunately that fix didn’t propagated to the new servers which were specially started before Alkhwarizm contest and had older code. Hence, his account was again visible as suspended from ~8:30PM. Thanks @shubham_genius, @neilit1992 and @meooow to bring it into notice, and new fix has been propagated properly.

(posing as answer, due to characters limit in comment)

Oh, didn’t came across your email, but got similar info from another user. Anyway, the bug is finally removed from auto removal of suspension. Welcome back to discuss. :smiley:

And refrain spamming in future… :stuck_out_tongue:

So that’s the case! I was quite confused when I saw it. It also did not show which admin suspended it and why. Well, this explains things!
