The Strange Function


Problem Statement :


One of the most important skills a programmer needs to learn early on is the ability to pose a problem in an abstract way. This skill is important not just for researchers but also in applied fields like software engineering and web development.

You are able to solve most of a problem, except for one last subproblem, which you have posed in an abstract way as follows: Given an array consisting of n integers [ a1, a2, . . . , an ] .

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer n

The second  line contains n space-separated integers a1, a2, . . . , an .

Constraints

1  <=  n  <=  50000
- 10^6  <=   ai   <= 10^6

Output Format

Print a single integer denoting the answer

Mr. X and His Shots

A cricket match is going to be held. The field is represented by a 1D plane. A cricketer, Mr. X has N favorite shots. Each shot has a particular range. The range of the ith shot is from Ai to Bi. That means his favorite shot can be anywhere in this range. Each player on the opposite team can field only in a particular range. Player i can field from Ci to Di. You are given the N favorite shots of M

Jim and the Skyscrapers

Jim has invented a new flying object called HZ42. HZ42 is like a broom and can only fly horizontally, independent of the environment. One day, Jim started his flight from Dubai's highest skyscraper, traveled some distance and landed on another skyscraper of same height! So much fun! But unfortunately, new skyscrapers have been built recently. Let us describe the problem in one dimensional space

Palindromic Subsets

Consider a lowercase English alphabetic letter character denoted by c. A shift operation on some c turns it into the next letter in the alphabet. For example, and ,shift(a) = b , shift(e) = f, shift(z) = a . Given a zero-indexed string, s, of n lowercase letters, perform q queries on s where each query takes one of the following two forms: 1 i j t: All letters in the inclusive range from i t

Counting On a Tree

Taylor loves trees, and this new challenge has him stumped! Consider a tree, t, consisting of n nodes. Each node is numbered from 1 to n, and each node i has an integer, ci, attached to it. A query on tree t takes the form w x y z. To process a query, you must print the count of ordered pairs of integers ( i , j ) such that the following four conditions are all satisfied: the path from n
