Hello every body reading this blog!

till now, Iv seen two types of users in codeforces :

  1. the ones who use several defines and functions as the constant part of their code... (#define int long long, #define pair<int, int> pii, etc)
  2. the ones who do not use defines and the same stuff above

now for example Benq is in the first type of users as you can see this part above all of his codes :

//start ********************

using namespace io;

//end ********************

actually there are not only defines but there are some functions too.

and for example tourist is in the second part that uses things originally.

now in the comments tell me which one is easier to use and better for using in contests ?

which one are you familiar with ?

actually I prefer to be in the second type of users. as i think it will get complicated to be in the first type ...

You should implement and use whatever you are comfortable with. tourist uses his version because he's comfortable with as is Benq for using his version. What matters is how you are able to solve actual coding problems in the end (with the help of neat debugging tricks, if needed).
