int t, x, y, count;
scanf(“%d”, &t);
while(t–)
{
scanf(“%d %d”, &x, &y);
count=0;

Here you are using too many loops in the code, i.e.,

Time complexity : O(n^2)

Send the problem link to the question

so we can give you a more appropriate answer.

//rest of the code

if(x>y)
y+=2
else
x+=1
count++
//rest of the code
this could be correct , check whether the count increment operation should be within the else block or outside the else block.
