I need help with this Problem Traffic Lights. CSES Problem Set under Sorting and Searching. I thought of an approach that
create a set add elements at every step,
Traverse the set and take the difference and take the maximum out of it.
display maximum at every step.
But I think this is a very naive approach and Time Complexity would be O(n^2) and n can be up to 10^5, so most of my Test Cases are giving TLE.
I am not able to think of another approach. Can Anyone give me a hint, how should I approach it.
You can also maintain a segment as (leftPosition,size)
Ok I understood you were trying to say just simply maintain a set of positions and map of lenghts and whenever new element is added it will be added between it lower_bound and lower_bound-1. So in map length of new segments to be updated and the old one to be deleted.
Thanks, for Help.. it got Submitted !!
