Please Help :(

My code is running successfully for 5 testcases but it is failing for others. I have done the same thing as mentioned in the editorial using segment trees. Please provide any test case that my code might be failing. I have been stuck on this problem for days now and any help would be appreciated.

Solution link : CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

That solution still seems to be failing the testcase I sent you yesterday(?)

Edit:

Here’s a slightly smaller, and more striking, version:

Thanks for replying though !

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the question, but I get (added in some diagnostics :)):

Glad you got it sorted :slight_smile: It’s a good habit to get into to

a) Write a naive, brute-force solution (usually very easy); and
b) assert that your optimised solution matches the brute force one; and
c) Write a random testcase generator; and
d) Keep throwing random testcases at your solution until you find one where the optimised and brute-force solutions don’t match.

This is (roughly) how I found those testcases :slight_smile:
