This is an easy interactive question that guesses the number 1 to 1000000 by binary search. However, I am new to the concept of interactive problems, and I am getting an idleness TLE on this problem. Can someone tell me what is causing the Idleness on my code? Thanks in advance.

Replace
fflush(stdout);withcout<<endl;instead.Thanks, you resolved the issue :) But do you know why fflush(stdout) and cout.flush() doesn't work?
I think the main issue is that you forgot to output a line break. The grader can't tell that it's at the end of the number you printed until it sees some whitespace.
