Pls help. This code is showing that time limit exceeds on a particular ide and in some ide it is showing the desired output.

#include<stdio.h> int main() { int T; scanf("%d", &T); for (; T>0; T--) { int d,i,sum=0,count=0; int l,r; scanf("%d\n", &d); scanf("%d %d", &l,&r); for (i=l; i<r;i++) { if (i%2!=0) { count++; if(count>d&&count<=d+3 || count>d+6&&count<=d+9) continue; sum = sum + i; } } printf("%d\n", sum); } return 0; }

You can make it faster by moving all variable definitions out of the for loop so the space is only allocated once. Move the d+# out of inner loop so it is only calculated once. Change sum increment to: sum += i; which can be faster.

This is what I suggested. https://code.sololearn.com/c277pnFx6PSX

Dynamic would cost more time over stack.

Put current code in playground and link it here so I can look and play with it.

Can't find any error. Though not what's the desired output seems working fine. What's the compiler where it's failing? Or what's the error?

Its saying time limit exceeded on codechef. Actually I was doing a contest where time limit for each question was set to be 1 second but my code took 1.01 second and that's where it failed.

Think that's telling you to improve your code. You can try to improve the code.

John wells sir actually it's still not working. Can we use dynamic memory allocation here to decrease the time of execution?

Can you post the task? To see what the code is supposed to do.
