Since last two days i read a submit solution of Turbo Sort problem(easy section) http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/973123 of user “Siva Reddy”

and i am not getting any idea about the solution . He used BUFFER method in his program .
Can anybody tell me the best links or tutorial , as soon as possible, from where i can learn this method .

I haven’t gone through the code completely. He is reading the whole input file(stdin) into a buffer and then parsing the buffer. This is much faster than formatted input functions. Alternatively you can use getchar_unlocked() (which i believe to be simpler to code) which is also significantly faster than reading input through formatted io. You may check the following program to get an idea.
