A question for a enthusiast like me but from a difficult topic.......(MO's ALGORITHM)

By prabal_1997, history, 7 years ago, In English

question goes like this.... given an array of n nos.and queries q the queries follow like this given range l to r (l<=r) for every query we have to find sum of elements which have an odd frequency in the given range

note : 1 based indexing is followed.............................................................................................

example : 5......n

1 2 2 2 1....elements

3..queries...

1 3...

1 4......

1 5......

output: 1..... 7..... 6.....

explanation : 1. in range 1 to 3 only 1 has odd frequecy i.e 1 so ans =1 !!! 2.in range 1 to 4 1 has frequency 1 and 2 has frequecy 3 so ans = 1*1 + 2*3 = 6 !!!

I am not able to solve this......question if time limit is 1 second.

We sum all entries of element in range?

Using the standard Mo's algorithm with two pointers should work within 1 second time limit for N ≤ 10⁵. To keep the frequencies and the answer, do the following...

Let freq[x] be the frequency of number x. Initially all frequencies are 0 and ans = 0. Parity changes with every insertion/removal, so suppose we shrink/expand current range and we need to add/remove number x. If freq[x] is currently odd, we perform ans = ans - x * freq[x] and then update freq[x], and if, on the other hand, freq[x] is currently even, we first update freq[x] and then perform ans = ans + x * freq[x].

This is how I usually code Mo's...

Mo's C++ Code

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

typedef long long ll;
using namespace std;

#define all(x) x.begin(), x.end()
#define f(i,a,b) for(int i = (a); i <= (b); i++)
#define pb push_back

const int BLOCK = 300;

struct Query
{
    int l,r,id;
    Query(int _l, int _r, int _id) : l(_l), r(_r), id(_id) {};
    friend bool operator < (Query q1, Query q2)
    {
        if(q1.l / BLOCK != q2.l / BLOCK) return q1.l / BLOCK < q2.l / BLOCK;
        else return q1.r < q2.r;
    }
};

int A[100005], Freq[100005], N, Q;
ll Ans[100005];
vector<Query> Queries;

int main()
{
    cin >> N;
    f(i,1,N) cin >> A[i];
    cin >> Q;
    f(q,1,Q)
    {
        int l,r;
        cin >> l >> r;
        Queries.pb(Query(l,r,q));
    }
    sort(all(Queries));
    int l = 1, r = 0;
    ll ans = 0;
    for(Query q : Queries)
