Having problem with 433B question
By j1gsaw, 11 years ago, In English

I don't understand why my code is giving TLE for this question when my complexity is O(nlogn).. Please somebody look at my code and find the bug.

It's possible you ran into an "anti-quicksort" test, since Arrays.sort on primitive types in Java 7 has worst case O(n^2) and on others is an O(n log n) mergesort. Unfair I know, but I don't see anything else that could justify so many people failing on test 46.

      You don't need to write your own mergesort, but if you change "int" to "Integer" it's not a primitive type anymore so Arrays.sort will do a mergesort instead. :)
