I was looking at some of the solutions in Google Code Jam and some people used this things that I had never seen before. For example,

2LL*r+1LL 

What does 2LL and 1LL mean?

Their includes look like this:

#include <math.h> #include <algorithm> #define _USE_MATH_DEFINES 

or

#include <cmath> 

1 Answer

The LL makes the integer literal of type long long.

So 2LL, is a 2 of type long long.

Without the LL, the literal would only be of type int.

This matters when you're doing stuff like this:

1 << 40 1LL << 40 

With just the literal 1, (assuming int to be 32-bits, you shift beyond the size of the integer type -> undefined behavior). With 1LL, you set the type to long long before hand and now it will properly return 2^40.
