Common Errors to Avoid
1. Time Limit Exceeded (TLE)
Avoid O(N²) solutions for N > 10⁴. Use HashMaps or Two Pointers for O(N).
2. Runtime Error (NZEC/SIGSEGV)
Check for division by zero, array index out of bounds, or null pointers.
3. Output Formatting
Follow exact output format. Remove debug prints before submission.
