Extended Time Limits : Python and other languages.

Revision en4, by KadiyalaSaiManoj, 2016-06-04 10:26:59

In some of the problems i have done in codeforces, some algorithms which pass in c are not passing in python. As most of you know python is slower, but this should not be a problem, sometimes pypy2 is fast enough to pass the time limit, but pypy3 is still weak and is sometimes slower than python3 , so for users using python3 this is becoming a problem.

This can be solved by creating a list of factors for each language which you multiply to the time limit to make the python3 codes pass.

Eg: if time limit is 2 sec

LanguageFactorTime Limit
C/C++1.02 sec
java2.04 sec
python2/3/pypy34.08 sec
pypy22.04 sec

These factors are just my opinion and can be decided by the CF team, I am not asking for the exact time limits as above but just asking to consider language wise time limits.
What do you people think?

I think hackerrank uses extended time limits, do any other site use it?
Hackerrank time limits

Have anyone faced similar problems like this.
