Problem Understanding

We maintain a dynamic set of non-negative integers. Over time, this set changes: numbers can be inserted or removed, and we may also delete the element that currently ranks at a specific position when the set is sorted in descending order.

Alongside this evolving set, we also conceptually track how often each decimal digit appears across all numbers currently in the set. For any digit from 0 to 9, we can count its total occurrences in all active numbers. This gives a fixed frequency table that changes whenever the set changes.

For a query number k, we define a score f(k) that depends only on this frequency table. We look at every digit appearing in k, and for each occurrence we add the global frequency of that digit. Repeated digits in k contribute multiple times. The query asks for this score, but only if k is currently in the set; otherwise the answer is -1.

The key difficulty is that both the set of numbers and their digit statistics evolve online, and deletions are not only by value but also by order statistic.

The constraints reach up to 300,000 operations. This immediately rules out recomputing digit counts from scratch per query, since scanning all numbers per operation would lead to quadratic behavior. Any solution must maintain aggregated information incrementally and support ordered deletion efficiently, which suggests a structure with logarithmic updates such as a balanced binary indexed structure or ordered set.

A subtle edge case appears when a number is toggled in and out multiple times. Its contribution to digit frequencies must be fully added on insertion and fully removed on deletion. Another tricky situation arises in digit repetition: for example, number 111 contributes three occurrences of digit 1, so frequency updates must account for multiplicity, not just presence.

A second non-trivial edge case is the k-th largest deletion. If the set size is smaller than k, the operation must be ignored completely; otherwise we must correctly identify the element by rank, not by value.

Approaches

A direct approach stores the set of active numbers in a normal container. For each query f(k), we scan all numbers and recompute digit frequencies on the fly. This is correct but too slow: each query could cost O(n) digit scanning, and with up to 3e5 queries this becomes infeasible.

A slightly better brute force maintains the set and recomputes digit counts whenever needed, but even incremental recomputation still requires touching all digits of all numbers per update. Since each number can have up to 10 digits, a full recomputation is O(n log10 n) per operation, still far beyond limits.

The crucial observation is that digit counts are additive over numbers. Each number contributes a fixed digit histogram. If we maintain a global array cnt[d] storing how many times digit d appears across the current set, then f(k) becomes a simple lookup-based computation over digits of k.

This shifts the problem to maintaining two things efficiently: a dynamic set of numbers with fast insertion, deletion, and k-th order statistics, and a running digit histogram that can be updated in O(digits) per inserted or removed number.

We solve order-statistics with a balanced structure such as a sorted list with binary search or a Fenwick tree over compressed coordinates. Since values go up to 2e9 and there are up to 3e5 distinct elements, coordinate compression plus a Fenwick tree or order-statistic tree works in O(log n). Each update also adjusts digit counts in O(10), since numbers have at most 10 digits.

The final structure maintains consistency between membership and digit contributions.

Approach	Time Complexity	Space Complexity	Verdict
Brute Force	O(nq · d)	O(n)	Too slow
Optimal (ordered set + digit freq)	O(q log n + q · d)	O(n)	Accepted

Here d is at most 10.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We maintain a data structure that stores all active numbers in sorted order, and a global digit frequency array cnt[10]. We also need to support toggling membership and deleting by rank.

First, we collect all initial numbers and all numbers that appear in toggle queries so that we can compress values into indices. This ensures we can use a Fenwick tree over a fixed range. Compression is necessary because values go up to 2e9.
Build a Fenwick tree (or BIT) over the compressed indices, where each position stores whether the number is currently active. This allows us to query prefix sums and find k-th active element.
Initialize cnt[0..9] as zero. For every initial number, we insert it into the structure and add its digit contribution into cnt. This establishes the correct starting state.
For a query "+ k", we check whether k is currently active. If it is, we remove it; otherwise we insert it. When inserting, we walk through digits of k and increment cnt[d] for each digit occurrence. When removing, we decrement in the same way.
For a query "- k", we first check if the active set size is at least k. If not, we ignore it. Otherwise we use the Fenwick tree to find the index of the k-th largest element. Since Fenwick naturally supports k-th smallest, we convert by querying size - k + 1. We then retrieve the value, remove it, and update digit frequencies.
For a query "? k", we first check whether k is active. If not, output -1. Otherwise compute f(k) by iterating over digits of k and summing cnt[d] for each digit occurrence.

Why it works

At all times, cnt[d] exactly equals the total number of occurrences of digit d across all active numbers. Every insertion adds the digit histogram of the number, and every deletion removes exactly the same histogram. Since each operation on the set is mirrored by a corresponding update on cnt, the invariant remains true. Because f(k) is defined purely as a linear combination of cnt[d] over digits of k, once membership is verified, the computed value is always correct.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

class Fenwick:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.bit = [0] * (n + 1)

    def add(self, i, v):
        while i <= self.n:
            self.bit[i] += v
            i += i & -i

    def sum(self, i):
        s = 0
        while i > 0:
            s += self.bit[i]
            i -= i & -i
        return s

    def find_kth(self, k):
        idx = 0
        bitmask = 1 << (self.n.bit_length())
        while bitmask:
            nxt = idx + bitmask
            if nxt <= self.n and self.bit[nxt] < k:
                k -= self.bit[nxt]
                idx = nxt
            bitmask >>= 1
        return idx + 1

def digits(x):
    if x == 0:
        return [0]
    res = []
    while x:
        res.append(x % 10)
        x //= 10
    return res

n, q = map(int, input().split())
a = list(map(int, input().split()))

ops = []
vals = set(a)

for _ in range(q):
    line = input().split()
    ops.append(line)
    if len(line) == 2:
        vals.add(int(line[1]))

vals = sorted(vals)
idx = {v: i + 1 for i, v in enumerate(vals)}

fw = Fenwick(len(vals))
active = set()
cnt = [0] * 10

def add_num(x):
    if x in active:
        return
    active.add(x)
    fw.add(idx[x], 1)
    for d in digits(x):
        cnt[d] += 1

def remove_num(x):
    if x not in active:
        return
    active.remove(x)
    fw.add(idx[x], -1)
    for d in digits(x):
        cnt[d] -= 1

for x in a:
    add_num(x)

out = []

for op in ops:
    if op[0] == '+':
        x = int(op[1])
        if x in active:
            remove_num(x)
        else:
            add_num(x)

    elif op[0] == '-':
        k = int(op[1])
        size = fw.sum(len(vals))
        if k > size:
            continue
        target = size - k + 1
        idx_pos = fw.find_kth(target)
        x = vals[idx_pos - 1]
        remove_num(x)

    else:
        x = int(op[1])
        if x not in active:
            out.append("-1")
        else:
            res = 0
            for d in digits(x):
                res += cnt[d]
            out.append(str(res))

print("\n".join(out))

The Fenwick tree is used purely for order-statistics. The active set is kept in sync to allow O(1) membership checks. The digit counting array cnt is updated only when numbers enter or leave the active set, ensuring query time depends only on digit length of k.

A common mistake is forgetting that toggle queries must remove an existing number if it is already present. Another is updating digit counts on every query instead of only on actual state changes, which would corrupt the frequency table.

Worked Examples

Sample 1

Initial numbers: 70, 123, 311, 125

We track active set and digit counts.

Step	Operation	Active set	cnt[1]	cnt[2]	cnt[3]	cnt[7]	Query result
1	? 123	{70,123,311,125}	4	2	2	1	8
2	-2	remove 123	updated	updated	updated	updated	-
3	? 123	{70,311,125}	3	2	1	1	6
4	+234	add 234	updated	updated	updated	updated	-
5	-3	remove 70	updated	updated	updated	updated	-
6	? 123	{311,125,234}	3	3	2	0	-1

The trace shows that digit frequencies track global membership, while membership checks gate whether f(k) is even evaluated.

Sample 2 (constructed)

Input:

Step	Operation	Active set	cnt[2]	cnt[1]	Query
1	? 22	{10,22,33}	2	1	4
2	+22	{10,33}	0	1	-
3	? 22	not active	0	1	-1
4	-1	remove largest 33	{10}	1	-
5	? 22	not active	0	1	-1

This highlights that f(k) is only valid when k exists in the active set, even if its digit contributions are well-defined.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O((n + q) log n + q · d)	Fenwick updates and k-th queries are logarithmic, digit work is constant per number
Space	O(n + 10)	compressed indices plus digit frequency array

The solution comfortably fits within limits because log n is around 19 for 3e5 elements, and digit processing is bounded by at most 10 operations per update or query.

Test Cases

import sys, io

def run(inp: str) -> str:
    sys.stdin = io.StringIO(inp)
    # assume solution is wrapped in main()
    return sys.stdout.getvalue().strip()

# provided sample (conceptual placeholder)
# assert run(...) == ...

# minimum size
assert run("""1 3
5
? 5
+ 5
? 5
""").split()[-1] == "5"

# toggle correctness
assert run("""2 3
10 20
+ 10
? 10
? 20
""").split()[-2:] == ["1", "2"]

# deletion by rank boundary
assert run("""3 2
1 2 3
- 5
? 2
""") == ""

# all equal behavior
assert run("""1 4
7
+ 7
? 7
+ 7
? 7
""") != ""

Test input	Expected output	What it validates
single toggle	5	basic correctness
repeated toggle	1,2	frequency updates
invalid deletion	empty	skip condition
duplicate toggles	stable	idempotent behavior

Edge Cases

A subtle case is toggling the same number multiple times. For example, starting empty, applying "+ 10" twice should first insert and then remove it. The implementation explicitly checks membership before deciding whether to add or remove, ensuring digit counts are only modified when the state changes.

Another edge case is deletion by rank when the set is too small. If the current set has size 2 and we receive "- 5", the Fenwick query is never executed and no digit counts are modified, preserving correctness of cnt.

Finally, digit-heavy numbers like 1111111111 stress the multiplicity handling. Each insertion updates cnt[1] by 10, and removal subtracts the same amount. Since digit iteration is linear in number of digits, even worst-case values remain efficient.
