HackerEarth Update And Query problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Update And Query problem, Deepankar loves to play with the arrays a lot. Today, he has an array A of N integers. He has to fulfill M operations. Each operation has one of the following two types:
U X Y : Update the value at the Xth index of the array with Y.
Q X C : Calculate the length of the longest subarray that starts at Xth index and satisfy following inequality
A[X]-C ≤ V ≤ A[X] + C
Where V is any value from the chosen subarray.
Deepankar is facing difficulty in maintaining the efficiency of the operations. Can you help him in accomplishing this task efficiently.
