Sorted Subsegments


Problem Statement :


Consider an array  of  integers. We perform  queries of the following type on :

Sort all the elements in the subsegment .
Given , can you find and print the value at index  (where ) after performing  queries?

Input Format

The first line contains three positive space-separated integers describing the respective values of  (the number of integers in ),  (the number of queries), and  (an index in ).
The next line contains  space-separated integers describing the respective values of .
Each line  of the  subsequent lines contain two space-separated integers describing the respective  and  values for query .

Output Format

Print a single integer denoting the value of  after processing all q  queries.

Fibonacci Numbers Tree

Shashank loves trees and math. He has a rooted tree, T , consisting of N nodes uniquely labeled with integers in the inclusive range [1 , N ]. The node labeled as 1 is the root node of tree , and each node in is associated with some positive integer value (all values are initially ). Let's define Fk as the Kth Fibonacci number. Shashank wants to perform 22 types of operations over his tree, T
