Hey! In my code only 1 test case gives TLE… plz help which edge case i am missing

You should loop for length inside of the loop for i, j and break when SIc >= 0 && EIc <m && SIr >= 0 && EIr <n

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){
for (int j = 0; j < m; j++){
int SIc = j-(length/2);
int EIc = j+(length/2);
int SIr = i-(length/2);
int EIr = i+(length/2);

	                if (SIc >= 0 && EIc <m && SIr >= 0 && EIr <n){
	                    boolean a = checkpallindromec(arr,SIc,EIc,i);
	                    if (a == true){
	                    boolean b = checkpallindromer(arr,SIr, EIr,j);
	                   
	                    if (a == true && b== true) pairs++;
	                   
	                    }
	                }
	                
	            }
	        }
	        
	        length +=2;

here, it would enter if statement only when the conditions u mentioned are true,… why and where to add a break statement…
i am not getting u …

Actually, never mind what I said about the loops. Simply set endp in your code to Math.min(n, m).

whats endp !?

The variable endp in your code.

it did give correct ans… thankss
But what was wrong … as in why was that 1 test case was giving TLE !?
And also, how did u come up with this error …

You need min(n, m) instead of m to guarantee that the time complexity of the solution is good

Ohkk… Got it now… Thanks

No problem

why im i getting TLE for last 2 test cases…plzz help

Unfortunately, Python is slow for big inputs…
Most submissions which obtain 100 (CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone) run close to the time limit.

thanks bro …my bad

No problem. The good thing about long challenges is that you have a lot of time to rewrite solutions in another language if you need to.
