Can anyone explain the difference?

Hi!

I have two really similar submissions to problem (https://codeforces.com/contest/1266/problem/E)

https://codeforces.com/contest/1266/submission/67209030 (**WA version**)

https://codeforces.com/contest/1266/submission/67209163 (**AC version**)

The WA version has the following line:

long long ans = accumulate( a.begin(), a.end(), 0, [] (long long a, long long b) { return a + b; } );

With this simple change on this specific line I got it accepted.

long long ans = accumulate( a.begin(), a.end(), 0ll, [] (long long a, long long b) { return a + b; } );

Why the zero of the WA version does not seem to be converted to long long?

Cuz the type of the return value of accumulate() is the type of the init (third argument) , and the type of integer literal 0 is int.

Accumulate(a, b, c, func) work something like this:

while(a != b){
    c = func(c, *a++);
}

accumulate( a.begin(), a.end(), 0, [] (long long a, long long b) { return a + b; } ); //return int, because third parametr int

accumulate( a.begin(), a.end(), 0ll, [] (long long a, long long b) { return a + b; } ); //return long long, because third parametr long long
