Can anyone help me indentifying why my code is giving runtime error for this following code in Problem G: (https://codeforces.me/contest/1971/submission/260600724)

Edit: Got the issue and got AC but could not understand the reason

in sort, you should use return a<b;, but not return a<=b, which give RTE or TLE or MLE or somethingelse except AC.

    Oh Nice, it got accepted. But why "return a <= b" gave the RTE error ?

      https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/sort

      comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements of Compare) which returns ​true if the first argument is less than (i.e. is ordered before) the second.

      Just because the standard says so. There is no guarantee what will happen if you return less or equal.

        Oh thanks. Went through the link provided. Still cannot figure out the exact reason for the runtime error. But still, thanks for helping.
