Hey Ronaldo, It depends on the algorithm that you've written. If you didn't use an efficient algorithm, you might get stack overflow or waiting for the answer for hours. For example, if you used brute-force algorithm to solve the small input set, there is a big chance that it won't work on the large input set. (you'll wait forever to get the answer).If you used recursion, you'll get stack overflow On the other hand, the large input file contains extreme cases that you cannot solve using direct methods (such as multiplications, square root) because the primitive types used have limits. if you try solving the "numbers" problem in code jam 2008, you will get negative answers. Here, you have to use some mathematical manipulations to get the correct answer.
I hope I managed to help Sami --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-codejam" group.
