Hello everyone, I was solving problem C of a div 3 contest 1702C - Train and Queries and I just used 2 hash maps to stores the first and last occurence of each station, but on test case 45 its saying TLE.

165981690

Then i read the editorial and tried to using just one hashmap but still it says TLE.

Please Help.

1598C - Delete Two Elements

137345565

I'm solving 1598C Delete two elements

When I submit the problem I get a wrong answer saying expected was 10 but found 0 but when I copy the same test case and run it in my machine I'm getting 10. I just need help to verify if my logic to solving this question along with my implementation is correct. Please help.
