I hope it is unavaible. The code is running on SoloLearn servers then infinite loops can block these servers.

Time is limited to 10 seconds (I guess. Most serverside compilers are limited to 10s so I think sololearn's too ^^)

It's actually just 5 seconds... https://code.sololearn.com/cdisk9L6pJn8/?ref=app

Alex Why isn't it exactly 5 but 4.4 to 4.7?

You can only do that with javascript.

I do not know. This is very likely to be the reason. I posted this question because maybe a mod who knows the implementation of SoloLearn could see it.

The server lag does matter. I know that because the overhead within the code is mostly constant, but the server lag is not. Your overhead is very minimal, under 0.1 seconds.

Timon Paßlick I have the feeling you know the answer. :D I actually didn't think about that, but I guess it's mainly the cout which costs a bit of time each loop? I optimised it a bit and now it's closer to the 5k mark. But now always. And the time between the prints is also not a constant. So server lags also lower the max execution time? And the code execution most likely ends in the sleep time. So you need to add 0<= n <= sleep ms to the final value. Let me know if this is right or if wrong let me know the right answer. https://code.sololearn.com/cfIK0MA5m8YX/?ref=app
