Faster code than editorial giving TLE
By unt311, history, 4 years ago, In English

For this div3 problem (D),

I precalculate prefix frequencies of characters (editorial code does not), and I'm still getting TLE

My solve function's parameters are - 1. int c (character 0 is 'a', 25 is 'z') 2. int i (starting point of substring in consideration) 3. int j (length of the substring in consideration) [ using (1<<j) ]

You are memset-ing the entire cnt array for each test case, regardless of the size of n.

Memset. A silent killer.
