Time limit exceed for python in q2 cf round 709 div 2
By divrthor345, history, 4 years ago, In English

i submited my code in python and got tle
and got ac when submiiting same code written in c
problem B
submission in python
submission in c
i think time limit for the questions should be checked for every language first
the main thing is to think of an approach in o(n)
if we use o(n^2) it will definitely gonna take more than 10 seconds
so the time limit should be set that accepts all the solutions with o(n) approach

I think you could have optimised your python code in order to avoid TLE. You can have a look at my O(n) solution in pypy3 which passed the time limit.

    Python and PyPy are totally different when it comes to CP. I have seen many cases where Python fails and PyPy got AC and vice versa also. This is because PyPy is not good dealing with strings and in the other cases Python is not faster than PyPy.

      Yes, what you said is totally true. Even I have seen codes which gave TLE in Python while AC in PyPy. I just mentioned it there because the author of this blog has also submitted his solution in PyPy.
