Question on Online Compiler
Back to General discussions forum
Good day. I would like to ask a question regarding the online compiler, specifically in Java.
I was trying to run my code for a problem I am working on (Problem #34). And there is something I don't understand.
So, when I try to run my code with a smaller input size (the example - size 2), it works properly.
But, when I try to solve the actual input (size 8) it compiles but no output is shown.
I can confirm it is not a case of infinite loop or a syntax error since the program runs with output for size 2.
Would appreciate if you can provide me a hint as to why this is happening.
Thank you.
I doubt this has anything to do with the online sandbox.
Most likely you have a bug in your stopping criteria. Since floating point operations are inherently imprecise, perhaps your xMax (or whatever you called it) becomes, on some iteration, smaller than xMin?
Hi zelevin,
Thank you for your insight.
I found out (via the Help section) that this was more of a limit in the server processing the answer.
I think it may be because my code takes more than 1 second to run, so it is not ideal to run it in the online sandbox.

I admit it was my fault of reporting this without consulting the Help section first.
Thank you.
Hi Friends!
Thanks for notifying of this behavior, I'll try to have a look - surely, in case of timeout it would be preferable if some message is shown about this. Sorry for inconvenience :(
