How much time do you have to run your program?

Question

I think you have 5 seconds to run it all otherwise it will say "Time limit exceeded" but while I was trying I found something interesting.

It's very easy. Python code
import time
time.sleep(4.95)
print("Hello world")

I used 4.95 because also importing and printing take some times.

The output is:
Hello World
Time limit exceeded

How is that possible?

Edit: I tried to do it again and it didn't worked. So I start changing the time and I got it again at 4.815 maybe it's just a matter of connection?

Answer 1

its a sololearn thing
its not a live interpreter. it processes it on server and outputs the output.
if the process takes over 5secs it times out

Answer 2

This time only for sololearn playground if you run your code on computer with offline ide then you can sleep your code 1 hour or according to your need.

Answer 3

Yes but how did I got both the output and time limit exceeded in the same run?

Answer 4

sometimes you do. probably returns possible generated values if they are stored for the return even if the limit exceeds

Answer 5

But usually no output is printed if the limit exceeded

Answer 6

Yeah of course you have 5 sec only because otherwise you could do a denial of services attack
