For the 2018-2019 school year, we have switched to using the WLMOJ judge for all MCPT related content. This is an archive of our old website and will not be updated.Method 1
This is a classic difference array problem. Increase the total brightness by B at A and decrease it by B at A + L.
Time complexity
\mathcal{O}(N)
Space complexity
\mathcal{O}(N)
Method 2
Since there are a maximum of 10^7 seconds in a show but 10^4 fireworks, we don’t need such a big array that will mainly be empty. We can use coordinate compression to speed up the program and to reduce memory usage. However, both methods pass. Use a map as the difference array.
Time complexity
\mathcal{O}(M\log M)
Space complexity
\mathcal{O}(M)
