Wa on some cases!

problem link

This is similar to mixtures problem discussed in course using same approach but getting wa on some cases

#2

hello @kks2029

try doing this->
a) use long long
b) assign number bigger than INT_MAX in ur min cos variable

#3

I am using long long and how to assign number bigger than intmax?

#4

INT_MAX value is close to 10^9 which is not sufficient as max.

assign 10^12
how? like this -> variable=100… .

#5

all test case still not passed I have updated the code

#6

answer can even exceed 10^12.
use 10^15 , it will work

worked!! but why would I set that? worst case n=400 a[i]=10e9 so max sum will 10e9 *400=10e12

#8

…

thats the cost of one single operation when u finally combine last two slimes.
more cost will be needed to merge smaller slimes and get two bigger slimes. answer remain closer to 10^12 only , to avoid any issue its better to initilase with big number
