Binary search question : 2 ways to write mid, one gets AC but the other does not
By sahnigwl, history, 4 hours ago, In English

Hi folks,

While solving this question : Packing Rectangles

I submitted two codes which basically did the same thing, the only difference was :

  1. Verdict : Failed on test case 7 : Submission mid = l + (r - l)//2

  2. Verdict : Accepted Submission mid = (l + r) >> 1
    Can someone explain what caused this because, I believe both should function the same
