I need help. Please

Question

Is it even possible to input 3 numbers with the time less than 1 second? I am participating in some competition, and the time limit is 1 sec, that's why I am asking. If anyone here knows how can you help?

Answer 1

It isn't, as I said, it is just written like this "Time limit: 1second"

Answer 2

3 random numbers, yes, it has to be a human

Answer 3

Maybe, I hope :)

Answer 4

Not that, time elapsed in program, that'a what I am asking about

Answer 5

I don't know, it just says time limit is 1sec, I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe the time is after the input section?

Answer 6

I am limited to standard input, so... My code executes in less than 10ms when I give values, but with input, for example cin, it is extended to 1+ second(s)

Answer 7

Input 3 integers, and then do some things, but just inputing part takes more than 1 second :(

Answer 8

Well…… Java has threads with methods sleep() and wait(). Not sure about C++ though…… ~_~

Answer 9

filip rotate your profile picture 90 ° right

Answer 10

Did you figure it out, or do you still have problems?

Answer 11

Hmm... Something seems wrong here. My guess would be that it doesn't count the time it takes to input the three numbers.

Answer 12

Well, then, I don't know what else it could be. It would be really unfair to include program input time. Is it specified how the time is measured?

Answer 13

The time limit includes the time it takes to input the 3 values?

Answer 14

Well, sorry. I don't know know I can help on this one. But good luck, and just try to input the numbers fast. :)

Answer 15

If you get to input the numbers, then you could just input the same number. This could possibly get the time down to around 1/3 to 1/2 sec.

Answer 16

@Filip
Sir, It is the compilation time.
I have been to such a competition where they specified the time limit as the time taken to compile your code by the IDE you're using...
That's why I never use TC++...

C::B shall neatly display you the compilation time as well as the execution time, which takes 2+ seconds due to cin...

Answer 17

Well, what are the requirements? Does the code have to execute something after each input? Or does it use them all at the same time?
Or maybe there is a link that you could provide?

Answer 18

What kind of numbers do you have to input? The same ones or random ones? And does it have to be a human that inputs the numbers?

Answer 19

Actually, the time limit you are talking about it's the runtime of the program according to given inputs. Assuming you are participating in a programming contest, you can be assured that the inputs will be given to the program using a script from an input file and the outputs will be compared with the outputs of an output file. So, don't worry about that.

Answer 20

Without knowing the full details of the problem, all we can do is make assumptions.
