I already looked up the other submissions and I know that my code is the slow way to solve this problem, but it is certainly not the wrong answer. I have checked my answers in the debug with TONS of test trials, and all of them yield correct answers. Take a look.
Why am I receiving a wrong answer if I have checked this so many times in the debug?
some trials I did:
Input:
5
9
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
9
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
9
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
9
3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1
Output:
1
9
9
3
3
- I also used long integers to avoid any overflow
