TL on test 2; O( (n-m)*log m ), is O(n logm) slow ? cs_Diablo 1 Oct 2011 22:49

I'm calculating for every interval the max element with binary indexed tree in log(n) time. But still got TL on test 2. Is it ok NlogM to be slow ?

It can be solved in O(NM), TLE is too big. Once my friend did it :)
I think there's a bug in your implementation.

Are you sure that (build a tree on i-th step) + (find element) works in O(NlogM)?
I used two stacks (they works like queue) with access to max element in O(1) (something like 3 operations on each element). So it can be solved in O(n)!
