FREQUENT - Frequent values


You are given a sequence of n integers a1 , a2 , ... , an in non-decreasing order. In addition to that, you are given several queries consisting of indices i and j (1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ n). For each query, determine the most frequent value among the integers ai , ... , aj.

Input Specification

The input consists of several test cases. Each test case starts with a line containing two integers n and q (1 ≤ n, q ≤ 100000). The next line contains n integers a1 , ... , an (-100000 ≤ ai ≤ 100000, for each i ∈ {1, ..., n}) separated by spaces. You can assume that for each i ∈ {1, ..., n-1}: ai ≤ ai+1. The following q lines contain one query each, consisting of two integers i and j (1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ n), which indicate the boundary indices for the query.

The last test case is followed by a line containing a single 0.

Output Specification

For each query, print one line with one integer: The number of occurrences of the most frequent value within the given range.

Sample Input

10 3
-1 -1 1 1 1 1 3 10 10 10
2 3
1 10
5 10
0

Sample Output

1
4
3

A naive algorithm may not run in time!

bridges, mse06h , niceday are all very similar problems

Very good segment tree problem....

Please give some more testcases..Getting WA

what should you do in case of a tie .?

Archangel: 2014-11-17 00:33:58

how to break ties? for example if the input array is
5 10 10 10 and the query is for the interval 2 to 3 then what will be the answer as both 5 and 10 are having same frequencies

Got many WAs and TLEs but finally did it.
Don't use cin cout or else it will be TLE

Don't miss the "many test cases" part

a1,a2,..,an can be negative,be careful!

See that array is sorted ;)
