Why is this typing delay not working?

all I get is a time limit exceeded error. is it a limitation in the sololearn playground? https://code.sololearn.com/ccorMDMBaDkw/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/ccorMDMBaDkw/?ref=app

SoloLearn. If you can compile and run on your system, you should be able to see individual characters with delay between them.

@Suika King - @John's right -- except for code that runs on your device (Web and the output from PHP), input/output is "batched". Batch processing is basically all in one unit without interaction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_processing

(Aside) @John: FYI, I tried fiddling with flushing in PHP too; they appear to use the same limiting system (it had no apparent effect)

There is a runtime limit your program is allowed.

Your program runs with 0.1 delay, but looks like output is buffered and only display after \n

thank you for your reply! so I have taken \n out and reduced the delay to .1 however there is still not delay in the output...

If you add more \n to output you will see more delays. The output doesn't get sent back from server until \n is seen or program exits.

@Kirk Schafer thanks! oh I see. so it's just python's processing mode? or is it sololearn's?

If not, there is: sys.stdout.flush(); which forces the buffer to be flushed. Unfortunately, it doesn't work here as I tried it.
