Time Limit Exceeded

Question

I created a simple code for practice using tupelos and lists. The code is only 48 lines long but it keeps telling me "time limit exceeded" when I run the code. Occasionally, when I run the code, it provides the output, but only like one out of ten times. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

internet issues.
fix: not much you can do, wifi maybe? new telco? use a pc?
sorry, but I get this issue sometimes too. 😢

Answer 2

It will go away for sure! It is a sololearn/internet thing as the code is run on the server not your phone. code on your pc in an ide and you can run all the codes@

Answer 3

@Alyssa Menard
well Sololearn won't allow endless, that's why it has the time limit. they want to minimize resources wasted so others can use code playground too.

Answer 4

It makes me wonder what will happen if I actually get as far as creating something that is several hundred lines! Do you know if this occurs just in sololearn or if I download Python on my computer would this problem go away?

Answer 5

Server codes have to finish in < ~5 seconds. Web codes are exempt, as is the output from PHP (as long as PHP delivers output in time).

Answer 6

the code had an endless loop at the end. When you insert a break command or define the endless loop, it works all the time. 😊

Answer 7

@peter it was supposed to be endless, that was intentional ;p

Answer 8

It depends on what you are trying to make. The server that your code is executed on may not have the libraries or dependencies needed to execute your code.
