Debugging Strategies for CP
Systematic debugging beats guesswork: always re-read the statement, re-check constraints, and verify the output format before touching code.

Fast I/O and Optimization Tricks
Fast I/O reduces overhead from C and C++ stream synchronization and avoids unnecessary flushes, which can cut runtime by multiples on large inputs.

Divide and Conquer DP Optimization
Divide and Conquer DP optimization speeds up DP transitions of the form dp[i][j] = min over k of dp[i-1][k] + C(k, j) when the optimal k is monotone in j.

Knuth Optimization
Knuth Optimization speeds up a class of interval dynamic programming (DP) from O(n^3) to O(n^2) by exploiting the monotonicity of optimal split points.

Interval DP
Interval DP solves problems where the optimal answer for a segment [i, j] depends on answers of its subsegments.
