Being a Java Programmer, I am requesting the admin and MikeMirzayanov to kindly provide latest versions of Java like Java 14.

There are many bugs in the versions of Java-11 and Java-8, which are the versions provided by codeforces, for submitting a problem in Java. For example the Arrays.sort() functionality for primitive date-types like int and long can be easily hacked giving tle. However, for a person like me when I test my corresponding code in my Java-14 compiler it produces absolutely no tle for the same test-case.

Similarly, few of my solutions execute to tle while the same solution in cpp passes all the tests without any problems. To check I tried to execute a test-case in my compiler that ran in 1.8s while for the same test and same code the time taken by the Java-11 compiler in codeforces custom-invocation is 4.8s.

Here is the link to the problems for my

-> Java solution https://codeforces.com/contest/1487/submission/107445101 , and

-> cpp solution https://codeforces.com/contest/1487/submission/107471156.

If you check both absolutely have the same logic in the main function. But yet there are different results. I have also faced this issue while participating in many rated contest.

Hence, I will request the admins and MikeMirzayanov to please provide a solution for the Java programmers by providing a much later version of Java.

Yours faithfully...
