Continuing with the theme of absent editorials for old rounds, here is an editorial for Codeforces Round 171 (Div. 2). Even though there is an official editorial, it is only in russian and doesn't have solution for the last problem.

    Let's look at $$$tol[i]$$$. If $$$a[i - 1] < a[i]$$$, then $$$tol[i] = i$$$, otherwise $$$a[i - 1] \geqslant a[i]$$$ and we can continue longest nonincreasing sequence which ends in $$$a[i - 1]$$$ by adding $$$a[i]$$$, so $$$tol[i] = tol[i - 1]$$$.

How do we do B using Binary search?

    You create an array with the sum of prefixes from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$. Since the value of $$$a_i$$$ is always greater than $$$0$$$, the array of the sum of prefixes is always increasing.

    Given that, for each position $$$i$$$ you can ask with binary search what is the maximum $$$j$$$ that the sum of the interval [i, j] is less than t.

    Here I have my code that solves it with that logic: https://codeforces.com/contest/279/submission/208379855

hey i have a doubt ...

int n,t; cin >> n >> t;

vector<int> vec(n);

vector<int> v(n+1,0);
for(int i = 0 ;i<n;i++)cin >> vec[i];
for(int i = 1; i<n+1;i++) v[i] = v[i-1]+vec[i-1];
// for(int i = 0 ;i<n+1;i++)cout << v[i] << endl;
int i =  0;
int j = n;
int flag = 0 ;
while(i<j)
{
    if(v[j]-v[i] <= t)
    {
        flag = 1;
        cout << j-i << endl;
        break;
    }else
    {
       if(vec[i]>vec[j-1])
       {
            i++;
       }else
       {
            j--;
       } 
    }


}

if(flag == 0) cout << 0 << endl;

why is the above code not working for question B can anyone help !!
