Hi All

I have been implementing the solution to the following problem. I first tried using Unordered Maps but the solution gave a TLE, however, when I submitted the same code using Ordered Maps, it got Accepted.

The same problem was observed in the following question as well:

In most of the theory, I went through, regarding Maps in CPP, it states that ordered maps are mostly slower than unordered maps as the lookup in unordered maps is O(1).

Does anyone have any clue as to what might be the coding error leading to such a deviation. Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
