Problem link: https://codeforces.net/problemset/problem/2060/C 1st Submission: https://codeforces.net/problemset/submission/2060/305937191 2nd Submission: https://codeforces.net/problemset/submission/2060/305932678 Language used: Python

Not an input/output related issue.

After my submission, I checked some accepted solutions. Some of them even sort the numbers before solving. It is supposed to take nlog(n).

In any case I tried to sort the map keys, so that I don't have to iterate through all map/dictionary items. But even then I'm getting TLE. Is it the choice of data structure?

Can someone help me understand what is going wrong. I am trying to learn for future problems.

Also, would be great if someone can share any resource for python optimizations to avoid TLE
