Time limit exceeded?

Question

I'm making a game using c++, and have made a little options menu, which as of now can only take and react on the prompt to attack. but after printing ("you did X damage"), I get a little message at the bottom saying: "time limit exceeded". can anyone help? I don't want this coming back to haunt me

Answer 1

While Chirag is right, something else is at play.

What is causing the time limit exceeded is because your program crashes.

Your attack_o function should return a string but you never return a string, all you do is output something but that's not the same as returning.

cout << attack_o() << endl; then takes some garbage value that is interpreted as a string but because it's not a string it crashes.

Sololearn won't allow your code to get executed for more than 5 seconds......
if it does so , it returns "Time Limit Exceeded"
