it will fail when one/some of the keys ‘U’, ‘L’, ‘R’, and ‘D’ is/are missing. For eg, if in the string, there is no ‘U’ character, calling m[‘U’] will raise runtime error, since the key won’t be there in the hashmap.

Intialize with U D L R all as 0

That does not cause a problem. It automatically return value as 0

It should be map<char,ll> not map<ll,ll>

Also, you do not need to use ll

Guys thanks for help-:
i changed map<char,int> m;
and it works

11

Why should we use like that. Characters can be represented as numbers right? Why is it giving Runtime error?

12

There’s no reason that I can see why using map<ll,ll> m; should break things (it’s merely a weird thing to do :))

The actual problem seems to be this:

    int t; cin>>t;
    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
    cin.tie(NULL);
    cout.tie(NULL);

i.e. calling sync_with_stdio after reading input.

From here:

okay… thats the correct reason!! nice :upside_down_face:

If he uses key as ll shouldn’t be also access keys with the ASCII code?

16

Yes - the char should be implicitly converted to ll which has the ASCII value of the char, so I think it should work - at least, I can’t think of any situation where it shouldn’t.
