Because you are comparing double values with each other.

The answer to this test is 8, when your code tells 9.

1
11
1 -1 -100 -50 -60 2 -7 -25 -36 -4 3

Consider writing code without doubles or try to compare them proparly(std::abs(a — b) < eps)

In order to check if 2 real numbers are equal, $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ for example, you should check if

Unable to parse markup [type=CF_MATHJAX]

where $$$\epsilon$$$ is a small enough value, for instance $$$10^{-9}$$$.

In this case have to check if

Unable to parse markup [type=CF_MATHJAX]

, why don't you just check if

Unable to parse markup [type=CF_MATHJAX]

?

d1 = j - i
n1 = a[j] - a[i]
d2 = i - k
n2 = a[i] - a[k]
if(d1 * n2 != d2 * n1)cnt++

this will remove division and get u ACed I hope, you can check my last submission.
