Getting TLE on 433B problem
By dev_il, 9 years ago, In English

Problem: 433B - Kuriyama Mirai's Stones

This is my solution: 11326002

I use partial sums for initial array and then for sorted. Don't understand where can be a bottleneck.

Your approach and implementation of the problem are correct but you seem to use scanner class for taking input which is slow (though i am not a regular JAVA user but that is the only fault i can find in your code) . Try to use faster I/O methods. I think it will get accepted after that because your approach and implementation are correct. For faster I/O you can refer to codes of top rated coders who use JAVA as their language.

    Oh, thank you very much. I think you are right. I even forgot about FastScanner.

The bottleneck is quite well-known. Should not use Arrays.sort for primitive types.

      Shuffle before sorting or use Objects.

        How shuffling can help in this case? Arrays.sort function never wraps primitive type in Integer/Long objects.

    I will answer here.

    Because ArrayList is a list of Objects. You can't create ArrayList< int >.
