# Bus Assignment

## Question

## Solution

### Idea

As the first [ICPC question](https://open.kattis.com/problem-sources/2024%20ICPC%20Pacific%20Northwest%20Regional%20%28November%2016%2C%202024%29) I tried, this question is not that hard. Basically, the idea is:

1. use two variables `cur` (the **current** number of passengers on the bus) and `max` (the **maximum** number of passengers on the bus).
2. Every time you arrived at a bus stop, update the `cur` based on the number of passengers get on and off. After that, compare `cur` with `max`, if `cur` is bigger, then `max=cur`.
