Why I am getting time limit exceeded for the last two test cases. My python solution - Here.
can you please explain why min(N,M)<350 ?
thanks!
Because if min(n, m) > 350 then the condition n * m < 10^5 would not hold because 350 * 350 > 10 ^ 5 .
Read the editorial further and know more. I hope you know that clicking on those Arrow like things will reveal more content.

I have implemented the same logic, still Iâm getting WA in some testcases.
Please help
This is how I did in Java
public static void main (String[]args) throws java.lang.Exception
{
// your code goes here
Reader in = new Reader();
int t = in.nextInt ();
for (int i = 0; i < t; i++)
{
int r=in.nextInt();
int c=in.nextInt();
int[][] a=new int[r][c];
for (int j=0;j<r;j++)
{
for (int k=0;k<c;k++)
{
a[j][k]=in.nextInt();
}
}
int count=r*c;
int ud=0;
int lr=0;
for (int j=1;j<r-1;j++)
{
if (j<r-j-1)
{
ud=j;
}
else
{
ud=r-j-1;
}
for (int k=1;k<c-1;k++)
{
if (k<c-k-1)
{
lr=k;
}
else
{
lr=c-k-1;
}
for (int q=1;q<=ud && q<=lr; q++)
{
if (a[j][k-q]==a[j][k+q] && a[j-q][k]==a[j+q][k])
{
count++;
}
else break;
}
}
}
System.out.println(count);
}
I just remembered, my nm(n+m) program passed with 0.03 seconds, just by auto coding the answer when an entire row is the same.

DONT PASTE CODE HERE
Merge the two while loops to remove tle, set up and side initially as 1 and loop from i=0 to i<n to get ac
thank you so much bro
if first condition is false then it dont bother 2nd one , if first condition is true then it checks for second
I tried to find the max possible range offset first and then began checking for palindromes, but it gives WA for most of the test cases.

I got it why it doesnât work
consider the example
5 5
1 1 1 8 1
1 8 1 8 1
1 1 1 8 1
1 1 1 8 1
1 1 1 8 1
Observe for (2,2) for my solution:
According to my solution - I am trying to get a square first and then compare element wise (without considering the continuity)
1
1
1 1 1 8 1
1
1
my algorithm will compare (2,0) and (2,4) - without considering that (2,1) != (2,3) hence there is no palindrome here, but it mistakenly adds this entry as well.
-for anyone who commits the same mistake

i want to ask one thing , whatabout those cases in which middle element lies somewhere else for example
1 1 1 1
2 3 2 3
1 1 1 1
here the sequence can be
[1
2
1]
and
[ 3 2 3]
which will not be covered in this brute force
