//APPROACHING A QUESTION
//+ Think of binary search (max of min etc also if n<=2*10^5)
//+ Think of common dp states (Even if it appears as maths but constraints are small)
//+ Check constraints
//+ Keep calm and enjoy the question
//+ Be sure to remove MOD from binpow (if needed)
//+ Try bidirectional analysis for constructive questions
//+ If given some sequence try thinking of prefix sums
//+ If constraints are too large maybe its simple maths
//+ In questions with binary operations think of bits independently and also the change pattern
//+ If two or more binary operations are given mostly there is a relation between them and an arithmatic operator
