IO

Char input

char name [10];

scanf("%d %s", &type, name);

In case of a string (character array), the variable itself points to the first element of the array in question. Thus, there is no need to use the '&' operator to pass the address.

Template Fast IO

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>

// #include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main() {
 ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
 cin.tie(NULL);
 cout << "\n";
 return 0;
}

ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); It toggles on or off the synchronization of all the C++ standard streams with their corresponding standard C streams if it is called before the program performs its first input or output operation. Adding ios_base::sync_with_stdio (false); (which is true by default) before any I/O operation avoids this synchronization. It is a static member of function of std::ios_base.

cin.tie(NULL); tie() is a method which simply guarantees the flushing of std::cout before std::cin accepts an input. This is useful for interactive console programs which require the console to be updated constantly but also slows down the program for large I/O. The NULL part just returns a NULL pointer.
