Problem: 1864F. Exotic Queries
The time limit is 4s. The input size is $$$n,q \le 10^6$$$. The standard solution uses a segment tree and the input/output size is very large. The sync of cin,cout with stdio is turned off in all implementations if cin,cout is used.

Pointer implementation vs Array implementation

Some guessed conclusions
These facts makes no sense to me. Based on the facts, I guess
- It's better to use Pointer implementation if you use cin,cout on C++20 (64)
- If you prefer array implementation, use Fast IO or scanf on C++20 (64)
- The 32/64 bit compiler has some influence on cin,cout performance
Do you guys have some idea why such cases happen? Or did I implement something improper so that it reduced the efficiency?
UPD: Reason of TLE
Thanks areke for pointing out the reason, and related comment and blog.
The thing is, when using cin in a 64-bit compiler, do cin in a separate loop.
Specifically, do
vector<int> vec(n+1);
for (int i = 1;i <= n; ++i) {
cin >> vec[i];
}
for (int i = 1;i <= n; ++i) {
pos[vec[i]].push_back(i);
}
instead of
for (int i = 1;i <= n; ++i) {
int x; cin >> x;
pos[x].push_back(i);
}
This modification speeds up the code from TLE to 1216ms !!! 221383761
it's too ?????, use cin/scanf should not influence the effic of array or pointer
Today, I noticed same thing.
In this problem on using cin/cout I am getting TLE. But if I use fast I/O i.e. scanf/printf my solution gets accepted.

Updated. I solved this problem in codeforces gym and it doesn't allow to view others solution until you solve it. So is there any way to make it public. I have pasted my code on pastbin and given links in above comment.
Your rmq is recursive
Do you mean the segment tree part? I think most people would like to use the recursive style of segment tree, so I only tested this style. Indeed, using a bottom-up segment tree (in author's solution) will have lower constant and will be accepted in this case.
... most people would like to use the recursive style ...hard to believe it because this approach is faster and shorter
Yes, this approach is faster and shorter. Emm, I mean, the recursive approach is known to most people. Btw, although I know the bottom-up approach, I still use the recursive one. My reason is that the bottom-up approach is not applicable to lazy propagation in range updates. (Not sure, is it true?)
there is bottom-up approach, see atcoder library
I see, thanks for sharing the link
I prefer a approach which is easier to understand than faster/shorter code. Ill happily code the slower longer code if i can understand it easily, and not so easily the other one
Can I then assume that you doesn't use BIT?
Actually, yes, well i didnt use to before 2 months ago.
In our countrys training camp for ioi, one of the people there made me understand how bit works and why the short implementation we write is correct. I have only started using it thereafter.
Array (actually vectors) and cin worked fine for me.
Hi, thank you for your segment tree implementation and your submission. I only replaced your segment tree implementation in my old submission. Unfortunately, it got TLE. 221057129. Maybe you got accepted because your implementation in other parts is different from mine and somehow has low constant?
Strange, shouldn't array segtree version be faster than pointers segtree one?
It is, and this is main question — why array version on C++20 x64 is TLE
My guess, that int_fast32_t would work
int_fast32_t is just a type synonym, and that fast in it doesn't mean it is fast
Sure I know it (for C++20 11.2 64x it is just int64_t)
I mean that in x64 arch massive arithmetic operations on int32_t are not optimal while operations on int64_t are. So for performance one should use it (yes with memory increase, but oh well...)

Update this is difference: 221387456 (int64_t vs int32_t in
posarray makes difference)See this comment.
It's related to https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/99038.
If you read in the input separately from pushing back to the pos array, the implementation only takes 1216ms: https://codeforces.com/contest/1864/submission/221383761.
Amazing! This tiny modification can make such a huge difference. Learned something today!
Great!
