Your code seems fine speed-wise (it might give Wrong Answer), it's probably slow I/O.

You can add this at the beginning of your code for faster IO.

int main() {
  ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
  cin.tie(NULL);
  ...

}

Just be careful that if you use this, you should stick with cin/cout and not mix it with scanf/print/puts since they use different buffers and the order read/written will be all mixed as well.

Use C++20 instead of C++14 and Fast I/O

    are you saying that if one uses C++20 he doesn't need to add these?

    int main() {
  ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
  cin.tie(NULL);
  

}

    If yes can you show some documentation?

      It seems like there's no difference at all. Submission link with copypasted code of op, but with C++20 enabled: 181341327

      No but C++20 is comparatively faster than C++14
