Can anyone please say why this code TLE’s(for DINCPATH) with a O((n + m) logN) complexity ?

3

Time limit seems tight, you can go for max(n,mlogm) , any greater factor may leads tle

4

number of edges is of the order of 1e5, that leads to nlogn solution :slight_smile:

5

n + m will go 2e5 :stuck_out_tongue: , sensitive one

6

So, according to you this question required only a O(n + m) solution ?

7

nope,i guess max(molgm,n)

8

What about this ;__;

9

come on, i say for your case ,not for all (obviously it’s not expected), execution time varies a lot person to person.

Do you really mean that complexity is different for different users ?

11

No :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: its not expected obviously, I came up with this solution so i suggest you to go for this , if you are happy with your (n+m)logn then go for it or try c++ with same solution, best of luck

He obviously meant that different implementations by different users will vary with respect to time. Some people are adept at writing spectacular code w.r.t. runtime.
