What the hell is that for an error? What's 'WA', what's a 'spoj
problem' and what is 'code HOTEL'?

I'm guessing that it's supposed to be C, am I correct?

You're not using anything that would require <stlib.h>

Make that

int main( void )

if it's supposed to be C.

It might be advisable to check the return value of scanf()
- if the input doesn't match what scanf() is told to expect
you'll be in for some surprises...

Note that this will only work with C99.

This might increment 'j' past the last index of 'arr'
and then all bets are off. Rather likely you should stop
the while loop if 'j' has reached 'N', shouldn't you?

Beside the question what all this 'WA', spoj' and
'HOTEL' stuff is about what is the purpose of this
program and what is it's typical input?
