Your solution runs when you remove
#ifndef ONLINE_JUDGE
freopen("input.txt", "r", stdin);
freopen("output.txt", "w", stdout);
#endif
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
cin.tie(NULL);
cout.tie(NULL);
yes it gonna run i use sublime text thats why i am using for input and output
#ifndef ONLINE_JUDGE
freopen(“input.txt”, “r”, stdin);
freopen(“output.txt”, “w”, stdout);
#endif
and for fast input output
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
cin.tie(NULL);
cout.tie(NULL);
these line are use
Your code didn’t run until I removed these lines.
It does if you compile it with the ONLINE_JUDGE macro defined, as the Online Judge used by Codechef does

check my solution.
Move the (n==1) bit of code after taking input.
see as you have to maximize the sum of numbers that you choose you will always take the maximum element available so we can just sort the array then p1 takes the largest element and p2 takes the two largest elements left in the array then they can take alternatively largest elements left in the array. you count the sum of p1 and p2 if p1 > p2 p1 should go first , if p1 < p2 p1 should go second and if both are equal it will always be a tie either p1 goes first or second.

I had WA verdict when I used an array but had AC when I changed it to vector. Strange

after line 20 add
if(n == 1){
cout << "first\n";
continue;
}
if(n == 2){
if(a[0] == a[1])
cout << "tie\n";
else
cout << "first\n";
continue;
}

Oh wow. Thank you very much. I didn’t realize that.
Thank you

Surprisingly enough, without checking for these conditions, I had AC when I used a vector. Probably it didn’t add random values to p2
