Are you sure that your comp function will work fine on alrge values, greater than range of int? Asking because of-

return (*(int*)b-*(int*)a);

I made all the long long ints , ints now.int can store 4x10^9,which is the maximum value that will appear in this problem.BUT im still getting a WA.

Check your sort function. Try this-

Instead of descending order, sort in ascending order and check from N-K-1 element and seregy’s marks.

If that doesnt help, goto c++ compiler and replace your qsort with in built sort. Again, check with N-k-1 element.

I think step 2 will give you AC. Some thigns about C are quite peculiar hence why I avoid it.

9

The problem is with your sort function comaparator function and the way you calculate minmark…

Use following comparator instead of your comp

int cmp (const void * a, const void * b){

if( *(long long int*)a - *(long long int*)b < 0 )return -1;

if( *(long long int*)a - *(long long int*)b > 0 )return 1;

return 0;

}
