Overview

This problem requires managing scores of \(N\) students and processing three types of queries: transferring scores, counting comparisons within a range, and adding points to a range simultaneously. Since the constraints are small with \(N, Q \leq 5000\), this can be solved with a straightforward simulation.

Analysis

First, let’s check the constraints: \(N \leq 5000\), \(Q \leq 5000\).

Let’s consider the worst-case computational complexity for each query:

• Type 1 (Score transfer): Simply updating the scores of two students, so \(O(1)\).
• Type 2 (Comparison query): Comparing each student in the interval \([l, r]\) against a reference value, so worst case \(O(N)\).
• Type 3 (Batch score addition): Adding a score to each student in the interval \([l, r]\), so worst case \(O(N)\).

The overall time complexity is \(O(NQ)\) in the worst case, which is approximately \(5000 \times 5000 = 25{,}000{,}000\) (25 million). This is well within the range that runs fast enough, so we can solve this with a straightforward approach that directly manipulates an array without using any special data structures.

If \(N\) or \(Q\) were much larger (e.g., \(10^5\) or more), advanced data structures like segment trees or BITs would be needed, but they are not necessary under the current constraints.

Algorithm

1. Prepare an array score of length \(N+1\), initialized entirely to \(0\) (managed with 1-indexed access).
2. Process each query in order:
   • Type 1 (1 a b v): Execute score[a] -= v and score[b] += v.
   • Type 2 (2 x l r): Using score[x] as the reference value, count the number of indices \(i = l, l+1, \dots, r\) where score[i] > base.
   • Type 3 (3 l r v): Execute score[i] += v for \(i = l, l+1, \dots, r\).
3. Output the results of Type 2 queries in order.

Concrete Example

For example, with \(N=3\) and scores [0, 0, 0] (students 1 through 3):

• Query 1 1 2 5 → Scores become [-5, 5, 0]
• Query 3 1 3 3 → Scores become [-2, 8, 3]
• Query 2 3 1 3 → The reference value is score[3] = 3. In the interval \([1, 3]\), the only student with a score greater than \(3\) is student 2 (score \(8\)) → Output 1

Complexity

• Time complexity: \(O(NQ)\) (worst case \(O(N)\) traversal per query, repeated \(Q\) times)
• Space complexity: \(O(N)\) (for managing the score array)

Implementation Notes

• Since the absolute value of scores can reach up to \(10^{13}\), in C++ and similar languages you need to use long long. In Python, there is no need to worry about integer overflow.

• Note that the argument order differs between Type 2 and Type 3 queries (Type 2 is x l r, while Type 3 is l r v). The problem statement also includes a note about this.

• Output is performed all at once to reduce I/O overhead (outputting collectively using sys.stdout.write).

        else:  # t == 3
            l, r, v = query[1], query[2], query[3]
            for i in range(l, r + 1):
                score[i] += v
    
    sys.stdout.write('\n'.join(map(str, results)) + '\n' if results else '')
