Edge Case Handling

Edge cases are the specific scenarios that occur at the extreme ends of the problem constraints. Most "Wrong Answer" (WA) results are due to unhandled edge cases.

Zero/One

Empty arrays, N=0, N=1, or single element inputs.

Max/Min

Inputs at the exact limits of the given constraints.

Duplicates

Arrays with all same elements or multiple same keys.

Negatives

Negative integers, especially when dealing with sums or products.

💡 The 'Mental Test'

Before submitting, always ask yourself: "Will my code work if N is 0? What if it's 10^5? What if all elements are negative?". This habit saves a lot of time and penalty in contests.
