need help in FLIPCOIN segment tree problem on CODECHEF

#1

Can someone tell me what is wrong in my implementation of lazy propagation in this [PROBLEM][1]. If my lazy node is 1 then that segment needs to be flipped and if 0 then no change. I am just able to pass sample test case.
Someone please help:)

#HERE is your accepted solution…
##Your bug is
lazy[node*2]=1;
lazy[node*2+1]=1;
##Should be
lazy[node*2]=! lazy[node*2]);
lazy[node*2+1]=! lazy[node*2+1];
