in this question i am confused with the question language.,it has said that print length of longest correct prefix ,but not mention from starting ..so we can find from any place where maxx length is found ,,but it is accepting only length from starting... https://www.codechef.com/problems/COMPILER

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
	int t;
	cin>>t;
	while(t--){
		char A[1000002];
		scanf("%s",A);
		long long int x=strlen(A);
		long long int i,a=0,b=0,c;
		for(i=0; i<x; i++)
            {

		if(A[i]=='<')
        {
			a++;
		}

		else
		{
			a--;
		}

		if(a==0)
		{
				b=i+1;
		}

		else if(a<0)
		{
			break;
		}

		}

		cout<<b<<"\n";
	}
	return 0;
}

As mentioned in the question, you need to find the longest correct "prefix". Prefix is always considered from the beginning of the expression and not from any arbitrary position.
