// If aplying ceil,floor,pow,etc convert it into integer (might make you eat shit if you don't
// Whenever using stacks,queues,etc always check that their top / front / back elements are not accessed when they are empty, thus causing runtime error
// Think twice before using greedy
// Remember losing 1 or 2 minutes is better than a penalty of 10 minutes
// Use log2 instead of log()/log(2) to avoid shitty errors
// If MLE occurs, try declaring the large array in int instead of long long
// Always initialise anything while declaring, which will not be taken as input
// In case of a problem having decimal calculations, try declaring everything in double rather than typecasting in each step
// always declare the array with n+5 elements to avoid unexpected errors
// Every problem cannot be solved by DFS easily, think of BFS too
