How to determine if my program is gonna give TLE ??

I have recently tried solving the questions in the long challenge, in the greedy candidates questions I tried implementing it in java and got 2.1s and TLE, how to understand why it gave TLE and how to overcome it??

Dont use scanner class for taking input. In that 2 second time, I bet that a huge chunk of your time is taken in just taking input. Google and copy the Fast I/O template of java, and re-run the same code.

Use Buffer Reader or any other fast I/O template for taking input.
Also, in case you didn’t know about time complexity, this link will be helpful!

please use fast i/o

I found an answer for this question in detail here

I hope you will find it helpful.
