Hi Codeforces,↵
I was trying to solve [this problem](https://cses.fi/problemset/result/1552857task/2136/), and I was struggling to see why [my code](https://cses.fi/paste/4046d884034fe61decf22c/) TLEs when other people's code (you can search up cses hamming distance solution for this) passes with similar logic.↵
↵
Turns out when I add `#define int long long`, [my code](https://cses.fi/paste/2131a98eeec6dd80ecf243/) magically passes and becomes quite a bit faster. I am dumbfounded by this phenomenon, and the only explanation that was somewhat reasonable was [this](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/411128/is-using-64-bit-integers-long-long-faster-than-less-bits-ones) (which is still crazy to me).↵

I guess sometimes long long really is faster than int.
