I have the same logic like various other contestants have used but I got TLE on test case number 63 as i had used JAVA whereas others have used C++. this is a very disappointing for me and i am not getting the logic behind this. Everyone knows that JAVA is bit slow than C++ but this is not acceptable that u change your logic or thinking process on this fact My submitted cod is 55027519: please anyone explain me why this happened;

    then what should i do in this scenario; should i think of switching langugage because what can u do inspite of using the built in sort function. don't site should take this into consideration before setting time limits

I used smth like:

List sequence = Arrays.asList(a); Collections.sort(sequence);

tests were ok.
