fast io
To implement fast input/output (I/O) in C++, you can follow the steps below:
Include the necessary headers: Begin by including the required C++ libraries for input/output operations. This is typically done by including the
<iostream>
header.Disable synchronization with C I/O functions: To speed up the I/O operations, you can disable the synchronization between the C++ and C I/O functions. This can be done using the
std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
statement.Tie C++ streams with C I/O streams: By default, the C++ input/output streams (
std::cin
andstd::cout
) are synchronized with the C I/O streams (stdin
andstdout
). However, for faster I/O, you can untie the C++ streams from the C I/O streams using thestd::cin.tie(nullptr);
statement.Optimize buffer flushing: By default, the C++ streams flush the buffer after every newline character (
\n
). This can be inefficient for fast I/O. To disable automatic buffer flushing, you can use thestd::cout.tie(nullptr);
statement.Use optimized I/O functions: Instead of using the standard input/output functions (
std::cin
andstd::cout
), you can use their optimized counterparts,std::scanf
andstd::printf
, for faster I/O. These functions have a different syntax and provide faster I/O operations.Avoid unnecessary function calls: Minimize the number of function calls when performing I/O operations. Each function call has an overhead, so reducing unnecessary calls can improve the overall speed.
It's important to note that fast I/O techniques are generally used in competitive programming or situations where the input/output size is large, and performance is crucial. However, in most normal scenarios, the standard I/O functions provided by C++ are sufficient and efficient.
