CONFUSION: Time taken to operate int and double data type
By cheemsdog, history, 4 years ago, In English

In contest[contest:1496] , problem C 1496C - Diamond Miner two solutions i submitted one 109632555 other with 109632518. Both are exactly the same except that in one array values are initialized by int data type and the other with a double. Int one is giving AC, whereas the other is giving TLE.

Please help me out.

double has more number of bits to keep precision and thus more time required for input i think . Also it's bad idea to take integer type input as double because there can be loss of precision .
