Is there a maximum number of lines in Python output ?

Question

I'm writing a code that'll have to output many things so I wondered if there was a maximum number of lines for Python ?

Answer 1

When I tried, it printed 10000 lines, but not 100000 lines…

Maybe it’s conected to the execution time. So, for example, because a for loop is faster then a while loop, you can print out more lines with a for loop. But that’s just a hypothesis 🙂.

Answer 2

I don't believe sololearn has output limits, but it definitely has time limits. I believe sololearn also collects the output and, if your code times out, sololearn only returns a portion of the output.

19 Jul edit: Per Bratthammar subsequently proved that sololearn does have output limits

Hi, Raheray !

Can’t you try figure it out by yourself?

Try run:

n = 10000
for i in range(n): print(i)

and see how long time you can
increase the number n.

HI, Alba Robledo !

Well, 100 lines are a small number in this context. I ran the two code lines below on SoloLearns app on my iPhone, and it printed out 18517 lines, but not more.

n = 18518
for i in range(n): print(i)

Answer 5

In SoloLearn time of execution runs out quick, I guess this is in order to not overload mobile devices. I'd say around 100 lines

Answer 6

Per Bratthammar I was able to confirm the 18518 number with this code:

print(*[n for n in range(15818)],sep='\n')

Which I wouldn't expect to perform the same as your code.

Answer 7

Raheray , Per Bratthammar , and Alba Robledo I think the actual limit is 100000 characters.

Answer 8

Are you asking about the language itself, or about running python code within sololearn?
