TPRODUCT: Getting wa

general
1

I am getting a wrong answer for the practice problem TREE PRODUCT. Can anyone tell me the problem with my solution? It seems to be a pretty straightforward question and I am quite sure the logic I am using is correct…

Is it possible, that for all inputs I tried:

3
1 2 4 2 4 5 999999999
3
1 2 4 2 4 999999999 999999999
3
1 2 4 2 999999999 999999999 999999999
3
1 2 4 999999999 999999999 999999999 999999999
0

the result is always the same - 999999975?

This is really strange

a[2*p] > a[2*p +1] ? a[p]=a[p]*a[2*p] : a[p]=a[p]*a[2*p +1];

You are not using mod for b array, it will overflow sooner or later…

So any suggestion how can i overcome this . i have used b array for finding whether left or right child is greater and applies modulus operator to array a elements.

problem is, that without mod it overflows, with mod it returns incorrect results, try to use double for b array…
