memset(nextgreater,-1,sizeof(nextgreater)); 
memset(previousgreater,-1,sizeof(previousgreater)); 

consider T= 10^5

Yes ,but it is given that sum of N will not exceed 10^6 over all test cases

The sum of N over all test cases does not exceed 10^6 is not equivalent to the sum of 100000+5 over all test cases does not exceed 10^6
In short, size of both the arrays is set to 100000+5 globally thus complexity of your code becomes (100000+5 ) \cdot T where T<=10^5.

Oh shit , I get it now. I totally didn’t see that and was trying to find any logical from last 2 hrs.
thanks a lot for help XD

import itertools

def difmax(l):
diff=abs(l[0]-l[1])
return diff

n=int(input())
for i in range(n):
w=[]
m=int(input())
h=list(map(int,input().split()))
p=list(set(h))

c=itertools.combinations(p,2)
for k in c:
    g=list(k)
    w.append(difmax(g))

print(len(set(w)))

please help me find the mistake

Please explain to me why my code is not even passing subtask1

    ll high2 = min(arr[i], arr[i + 1]);
    cost.insert(high1-high2);
    fr(j, i + 2, n)
    {
        if (arr[j] > high1)
        {
            high1 = arr[j];
            high2 = high1;
        }
        else if (arr[j] > high2)
            high2 = arr[j];
        
        cost.insert(high1 - high2);
    }
}
// print_set(cost);

}

int main()

freopen("output.txt", "w", stdout);
#endif
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
cin.tie(NULL);
cout.tie(NULL);
ll t;
cin >> t;
for (int it = 1; it <= t; it++)
{
    solve();
}
return 0;
}

When you found in your code arr[j]>high1, then you are making both high1 and high2 equal to arr[j]

Thank you for helping me.
Such silly mistakes waste a lot of time.

I am getting this verdict, I have spent over 5 hours trying to figure out what’s wrong with my code. I have also compared my code with editorialist’s code and his output on different cases and I cant find anything wrong. Please please help me find out what I am doing wrong.

My code: click here

Please help me out.

How to come with such observation.
I guess to think element wise that
how this element can contribute to the answer.
