What is "time limit exceeded" output after compilation of code??

Question

I made a program of stack operations in C language but when I run it, it says time limit exceeded.. Every time I run it same output appears..I commented some lines to check whether it was due to length of code but no it was not an issue bcoz even after commenting, output remains same..Please can somebody tell me the reason..

As only a specific time period is provided by the server to compile your code , in case the code is too long to compile (200+ lines) then the server may not be able to run the compiler on time and the process may be preempted to serve some other incoming request...
Use an inbuilt compiler instead.
