Silly Mistakes and Corner Cases
By Cipesta..., history, 3 months ago, In English

As beginners like myself, we often find ourselves making silly mistakes during contests or upsolves, forgetting to include crucial corner cases in our code. It's a frustration we all share – that sinking feeling when we realize our oversight after the contest ends. Personally, I've had my fair share of these moments, and it's time we address them. That's why I'm reaching out to you all for your smart ideas and strategies. How do you ensure you don't overlook corner cases? What techniques have you found effective in minimizing silly mistakes? Share your insights

Looking forward to your contributions and insights!
