Flipping Coins


Problem Statement :


There are N coins kept on the table, numbered from 0 to N - 1. Initially, each coin is kept tails up. You have to perform two types of operations:

1) Flip all coins numbered between A and B inclusive. This is represented by the command "0 A B"

2) Answer how many coins numbered between A and B inclusive are heads up. This is represented by the command "1 A B".

Input :

The first line contains two integers, N and Q. Each of the next Q lines are either of the form "0 A B" or "1 A B" as mentioned above.

Output :

Output 1 line for each of the queries of the form "1 A B" containing the required answer for the corresponding query.

Sample Input :

4 7
1 0 3
0 1 2
1 0 1
1 0 0
0 0 3
1 0 3 
1 3 3

Sample Output :

0
1
0
2
1

Constraints :

1 <= N <= 100000
1 <= Q <= 100000
0 <= A <= B <= N - 1

Array Manipulation

Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array. Example: n=10 queries=[[1,5,3], [4,8,7], [6,9,1]] Queries are interpreted as follows: a b k 1 5 3 4 8 7 6 9 1 Add the valu
