Weird time difference between seemingly same submissions
By whybee, history, 5 years ago, In English

submisson1 and submission2 are almost the same Only thing I did is remove the "#define"s Do they really produce that much of an overhead? If yes, why do people have it in the first place I thought these were resolved at the compile time, run time shouldn’t be affected at all ! Can anyone help me out with this?

Actually #define int long long causes overhead. Every 32-bit integer will become 64-bit.

    Wow! I had no idea it can cause that much of an overhead! I'll stop using that now :/
