Diff in answers for the online and offline compiler

#1


This code is giving TLE when used with string and cin
But it gives WA when used with char array and scanf
When I ran the same code on offline compiler after using the unlocked testcases … my code gave the correct answer for all the testcases but still it gives the wrong answer on online compiler

If you would see my solution I have written the exact same code … but it gives tle using cin …
My concern never was not knowing the solution for which u are sharing the code …
Come on … just read my properly query already …
I REPEAT … MY CODE IS CORRECT BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE SCANF SO THAT IT DOESN’T SHOWS WRONG ANSWER AT THE ONLINE COMPILER

@prabh1601 you mentioned that your code is giving TLE on using cin and WA on using scanf, hence i provided the correct solution. For scanf, there is no need for spaces between %s, and for the second argument you have to provide variable address, not variable name so the correct syntax is
scanf("%s%s", &l, &r)
