bhai…there are sites where all languages have same time limit.
codechef atleast has 5X for python.
if u are using python from so long…then u should know when it works
and when to use c++.

22

I mean yea, In such a scenario nothing would be fair lol

23

What did I do wrong then? :sob:
Is there any slight modification that will help me get it accepted or should I entirely change my approach?

24

Inbuilt functions are optimised. Thats why they are generally faster.

25

i m nt using python…and i dont think python has “5x” time limit either…

26

I don’t think anything should be done now. I in fact did not submit thinking O(n*n) would not pass. Only thing is that from future they should take care of test cases.

Now will they make the contest unrated or re-evaluate all the solutions and update the rating?

{	

	String s=sc.next();
	
	int n=s.length();
	int count=0;
	String s1="",s2="",s3="",s4="";
	
	for(int i=2;i<(n-2);i+=2)
	{
		s1=s.substring(0,i/2);
		s2=s.substring(i/2,i);
	//	System.out.println("ii:"+ii);
		if(s1.equals(s2))
		{
		s3=s.substring(i,i+ (n-i)/2);
		
		s4=s.substring(i+(n-i)/2,n);
		if(s3.equals(s4))
			count++;
		}
	}
	
	System.out.println(count);

		{
		s3=s.substring(i,i+ (n-i)/2);
		
		s4=s.substring(i+(n-i)/2,n);
		if(s3.equals(s4))
			count++;
