Time limit problem for Alien Chef.

I wrote a program for Alien chef problem today.
The concrete concept of the problem is clear, but I am wondering why I always got time exceeded.
Here are my codes, can anyone help me to solve this problem.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std; 

int main()
{
	int num_recipes;
	long long se[5001][3];
	int group_alien;
	int k;
	long long t,count,temp; 
	int flag[5]={0};

	cin>>num_recipes;
	//cout<<"num-recipes:"<<num_recipes<<endl;
	for(int i=0;i<num_recipes;i++){
		cin>>se[i][0];
		cin>>se[i][1];
	}
	for(int i=0;i<num_recipes;i++){
		for(int j =i+1;j<num_recipes;j++){
			if(se[i][0]>se[j][0]){
				temp = se[i][0];
				se[i][0] = se[j][0];
				se[j][0] = temp;

				temp = se[i][1];
				se[i][1] = se[j][1];
				se[j][1] = temp;
				
			}
		}
	}

	/*for(int i=0;i<num_recipes;i++){
		cout<<se[i][0]<<" "<<se[i][1]<<endl;
	}*/

	cin>>group_alien;
	count =0;
	for(int i=0;i<group_alien;i++)
	{
		cin>>k;
		for(int j=0;j<k;j++){
			cin>>t;
			for(int m=0;m<num_recipes;m++){
				if(t >= se[m][0] && t <= se[m][1] && flag[m]==0){
					//cout<<"i:"<<i<<" t:"<<t<<" se["<<m<<"][0]:"<<se[m][0]<<" se["<<m<<"][1]:"<<se[m][1]<<endl;
					count++;
					flag[m] =1;
				}
				else if( t < se[m][0]) break;
			}
		}
		cout<<count<<endl;
		count=0; 
		for(int n=0;n<num_recipes;n++){
			flag[n] =0;
		}
	}
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

Try to remove system("pause") first :wink:

And if there is TLE still, replace cout with printf() and cin with scanf(), while cin and cout are slow.

I’m not so sure. MAXN is 10^5 and you have inner loop:

for(int i=0;i<num_recipes;i++){
    for(int j =i+1;j<num_recipes;j++){
        ...
    }
}

Are you sure you want to perform 10^10 operations in 3 seconds?
