What are the units of code size of my submissions? I can see 2.2 M or 2.6M or 177M like that. Can you please tell me what are the units of these size and what how much they are in kilobytes/megabytes/…like that?

They are in Mega bytes. It is the memory allotted by the SPOJ server for your code to run. Minimum memory for each code is some pre-defined value : 2.2 M for C, 2.6 for C++ and so on.Even if your code consumes less than this it will still show this minimum value allotted by the server. The maximum limit for problems on the new SPOJ servers is around 1500 M. It was 256 M in the older servers.
