By Sujay_27, history, 13 months ago, In English

Hello folks, Need some help in debugging.. The question is on the right : Ques This is the code I submitted : Code I don't know why I'm getting signed integer overflow, inspite of having all the variables as long long. Can someone enlighten me on what I'm missing. [contest:918][problem:1915C]

Sum can be 1e14 which would lead to overflow you can set a upperlimit of 1e9

The maximum value that a long long variable can have is $$$2^{63} - 1$$$. In your code sum can be equal to $$$2 \cdot 10^{14}$$$ in some test cases and thus mid * mid may get bigger than the long long limit.

In worst case, the sum can be 2*10^14 then the mid will be 10^14. mid * mid will be 10^28. long long can hold at most 10^18.
