Cupcakes,
You’ve asked for it, we’ve done it. A big complaint people have had was the time limits were too strict for programming languages that didn’t start with a C. There are now variable time limits depending on the programming language you have used to submit your solution. The current time limits are as follows (as a multiplier to the time limit listed on the problem page):
- Java – 2X
- JS- 2X
- Python (PYTH and PYTH 3.6) – 5X
- PyPy 2.6.0 – 2X
- PyPy3 – 2X
- Kotlin – 2X
- Ruby – 3X
- PHP – 3X
- Lisp (clisp, sbcl) – 3X
- Scala – 2X
- C# – 2X
- SCM (chicken, guile,qobi) – 3X
- All other languages – 1X
We will keep updating this post with the latest multipliers, if we make any changes. Solutions will not be rejudged, you will be required to submit new solutions to see if your program now satisfies the time limit conditions.
Cheers,
The Chef
What happens if tweaking the multipliers results in a submission failing with the new limits which passed with the old limits? Or will time limits only be increased?
We will not tighten the multipliers for the duration of the contest (though we may add multipliers for other programming languages), or loosen other ones up.
Cheers!

GREAT!!!
That’s a welcome move for us Java programmers (and I’m sure for others too who use languages not starting with C)

I don’t get why these languages get these artificial advantages.

You dont get it, because you do not understand the limitations of virtual machines and interpreted languages as opposed to compiled languages.
Maybe wikipedia would help you.

The reason being that many of these languages are slower in one way or the other as compared to C/C++, so we feel that they should be compensated accordingly. Be rest assured that no one will get an artifical advantage because of using a particular language, and only good algorithms(in any language) will be able to pass successfully in the given limits. I hope that answers your concerns.

Hey Chef, what about “C”aml?
😉
or “C”#?
:-p

Most probably you haven’t used these languages. Else you wouldn’t have called it an “advantage” in the first place. Try running a code with same logic in C and Java and notice the difference in times.

@Anonymous Coward- It appears you are new to programming, cause the question you asked is answered in 8th or 9th grade(at least in ISC I guess). Its great you’re coming on to a site like Codechef for a better exposure! I’d suggest you go and check the best times for one of the trivial problems like Life, Universe, Everything and note the difference in timings.
Apart from the VM etc. I guess Java’s unicode character set which gives a further burden to the programs….

Hi, What is the multiplier for C#? The same logic also applies for keeping a higher multiplier for C# as well, since C# code is complied Just In Time.
Thanks,
Abhijeet.

I am having issues getting Haskell to run in the allotted time. Have you seen requests for a multiplier on Haskell? I am using the same algorithm as efficient solutions in other languages.
I would love to learn more about technical and programming related things.
Great post, and i loved it.
It is odd that Java and Scala have different time limits, given that both run on same JVM and scala can, at most, be as fast as Java can(in most cases).
What’s the multiplier for Perl?
Its already mentioned that for all other languages it is 1X.
Still there is difference between python 2 and 3.. 🙁
Why LUA isn’t 2x or 3x time limit like Phyton and Ruby?
Can we have Scala timing at par with Java. it is quiet an overlook to have different times for both if they are using the same JVM the execute the bytecode.
thank you so much ^_^
I have seen many times my JAVA code getting AC in more time than that in Python so why a higher Time Limit for Python ??
no bro you are absolutely wrong python is much slower than java I have seen many times, you can also google it
A much needed feature! Thanks for finally bringing it to the platform. Will resume my competitive coding now 🙂
For java you can use java.util.concurrent package which provide TimeUnit enum. Using this enum you can set max execution time for a method and validate execution time.
PHP also provides a function set_time_limit(). using this function you can dynamically set time limit for a function.
By these way we can set max execution time for a program.
I think all programming lagueses have this type of feature.
