@Dave yes u r right that integers means it can be big integers too. generally when we talk about integers, they are 32 bit integers in Programing/Algorithm Questions so i was assuming that here
and about my solution - yes it will be O(nlgn) or O(nw) not acceptable for given Q :( and yes a Divide and Conquer solution can do it in O(n). I just came to know ..thanks i little bit similer to my approach............Nice One On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 9:15 PM, Dave <dave_and_da...@juno.com> wrote: > @Sunny.
