I tried Infinite loop but Codeforces ignored it
By xQConqueror, history, 14 months ago, In English

The attempt: 196181712

The Loop:

long long cnt = 1e12;
long long A = 0;
while (cnt--) {
    A++;
}

I am trying to know how many operations of each type I can execute in 1 second on Codeforces, it was supposed to be trivial but lol, does anyone know how to calculate this on my own, or what am I doing wrong in my code?

Compiler optimizes it to A=1e12

    Thanks, I was wondering why this wasn't happening locally

      Compile with -O2 flag. You have to tell the compiler to turn on the optimizations.

        Yeah i know now that CodeForces uses the optimization flags

This is because Codeforces secretly has quantum supercomputers which can do 1e18 operations per second. The thing is that it does 1e18 operations only when you intentionally try to get TLE.
