Could anyone explain what is wrong with my logic?

, ,

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int T, N;
scanf(“%d”, &T);

while (T--) {
    scanf("%d", &N);
    int L[N], R[N];
    
    for (int i=0; i<N; i++) scanf("%d", &L[i]);
    for (int i=0; i<N; i++) scanf("%d", &R[i]);

    int ans=0;
        for (int i=0; i+1<N; i++) 
            ans+= (R[i]>L[i+1]) ? L[i+1] : R[i]; 
    
    printf("%d\n", ans);    
} 

return 0;

}

Hey, the problem with your code is that you are considering both i and i+1 everytime, while there can be cases where due to previous iteration, the index i has been removed.

Thank you, but could you tell how this can be fixed?

hey @khusniddin :wave:
In your solution there is the problem of integer overflow try using long long.
You can refer to this solution :

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;

int main() {
    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(0);
	cin.tie(0);
	int t=1;
	cin>>t;
	while(t--) 
    {
       ll n;
       cin>>n;
       vector<ll> a(n),b(n);
       for(int i=0;i<n;i++)cin>>a[i];
       for(int i=0;i<n;i++)cin>>b[i];
       ll sum= 0;
       for(int i=1;i<n;i++)
       {
           sum+=min(b[i-1],a[i]);
       }

       cout<<sum<<"\n";
	}
}
