SIGSEGV error

I was stuck in one question . I was getting half test case as correct answer , rest TLE . And as i know printf/scanf is faster than cout/cin , so i added printf/scanf everywhere . Now I am not even getting half answer as correct , instead i got a SIGSEGV error . Can anyone help me out where it went wrong

Can you please share the question link and also your approach?

Pay attention to compiler warnings!

You should use a heap instead of a vector to avoid TLE, faster IO cannot be of much help if the basic approach is much slower. To avoid SIGSEGV you can check compiler warnings given by ssjgz for correct use of scanf.
