Language: C++

// Easy things to check:
// - LONG LONGS (WA)
// - const int N is correct (WA, RTE) CHECK IF IT SHOULD BE 2*N!!!!
// - .size()-k underflow (WA, RTE, TLE)
// - small n edge cases (WA)

// Rare mistakes made in the past:
// - division by 0 (WA)
// - negative arithmetic, ceiling division, modulo (WA)
// - setprecision (WA)
// - INF not big enough using ll (WA)
// - setting max to 0 instead of -INF/min to 0 instead of INF (WA)
// - outputting debug (WA)
// - allocating too much memory (locRTE, MLE)
// - stack size (locRTE)
// - round announcements (WA)
// - multiset::erase (WA)
// - forgetting to rename recursive call when copy/pasting recursive function (WA)
// - not clearing DS between test cases EVEN FOR INPUT (WA, RTE, TLE, MLE)
