Hi,
I would like to know the time constraints about this problem. I have an algorithm which takes
O(20*N) time.
where N is ((10power6) + 3).
Subtask-3 is getting TLE. Does the solution needs more improvement then that? I’m really exhausted optimizing it. I may have reached the atomic state of optimization.
Please let me know the Time constraints in O() notation. @admin: In case, any verification of code needed please see this submission. http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/6692845
Thanks.

Hi @codedecode0111
It is against codechef rules to discuss solutions to any problem during an ongoing contest. Also, your solution is not visible to anyone for an ongoing contest.
The time-limit is mentioned in the problem, there may be a different approach. 
The editorials will be put up after the contest, you can verify there.
Happy Coding! 
Hi @sanchitkum,
I don’t want to discuss the actual solution/approach to the problem.
The time-limit mentioned is 1 second. I wanted to know in big-O notation. So, like that I can validate it with my algorithm Time-complexity.
I know the code won’t be visible to any users but however admin may see it. Hence, the tag. 
I’m gonna try to debug further.
Thanks.
Look at the constraints and they say a lot about O()…
