Hi guys, I tried to participate in this contest and solved the first problem KDEBUG1 in Java. But I got time limit exceeded error. I observed that most of the coders use C/C++, and I know that Java is slower when compared to C/C++. My algorithm might be inefficient. But before that I just want to

Except few problems where the time limit is too tight a good algorithm is equally good irrespective of the language.Yes C/C++ are faster than java but in good competitions like topcoder,codeforces etc. language is not a problem..For algorithm competitions you don't need a special environment

1) Your algorithm must be efficient 2) Your I/O should be fast enough. Use scanf, printf instead of cin,cout in C++. Use BufferedReader instead of Scanner in case of Java. 3) Ask such doubts in the space provided in the contest. On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:17 PM, prakash y yprakash@gmail.com
