[Edit: Issue resolved, the issue was regarding the bytes taken by size_t on different platforms]
Going through some blogs regarding the cause of the difference in output between judge and local terminal, I saw majorly the Out of Bound error. But I have looked across my code multiple times, not able to find the generation of such an exception.
Problem: 1335E1 - Three Blocks Palindrome (easy version). My submission: 79635901
For test case 1, the output is different,
Participant's output: 6 2 3 0 0 2
Output on the local machine: 7 2 4 1 1 3
I suspect the error may lie somewhere in the implementation of sets. Please help me through if anyone catches the issue. Cheers.
in my machine it gives 6 2 3 0 0 2 so may be problem with your compiler
I checked on the Codechef online ide (Code, compile and run), the output is 7 2 4 1 1 3 there as well.
This is the offending line:
Although technically undefined behaviour, it will end up working on 64-bit platforms using major compilers. My guess is codeforces is a 32-bit platform where sizeof(size_t) == 4, so your line will end up inserting a huge number as the first element.
Thanks a lot, resolved.
