#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
unsigned long long int n,m,t,div=0;
cin >> t;
for(int i=1;i<=t;i++)
{
cin >> n >> m;
if(n==1)div=m/2;
else div=(m-n)/2;

if(m%2!=0)div++;
else m--;

if(n%2==0)n++;
cout<<"Case "<<i<<": "<<((n+m)*div)/2<<endl;
div=0;

}
}

What is problem??

whats the problem in my code.
it shows: CPU limit exceeded on test 2

#include <iostream>
//#include <iomanip>
//#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n;
    cin >> n;
    for (int i = 1; i <=n; i++)
    {
        int a, b;
        int odd_sum=0;


        cin >> a >> b;
        for (int j = a; j <= b; j++)
        {
            if (j%2!=0)
            {
                odd_sum += j;
            }
            
            
        }
        cout << "Case " << i << ": " << odd_sum << endl;
    }
    
    return 0;
}

Your solution is naive and will take too long to calculate the summation. You will need to think of a better way.

Try to think of a way to calculate the sum without looping over all the numbers.

Why Second testCase Wrong Ans
Code Here
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int L,R,N,count,ck=0;

scanf("%d",&N);
while(N--){
    scanf("%d %d",&L,&R);
    if(R%2==0){
        R--;
    }if(L%2==0){
       L++;
    }
    count=((R-L)/2)+1;
    sum=((R+L)/2)*count;
    ck++;
    printf("Case %d: %d\n",ck,sum);
}

}
