Some details are lacking on that page: - In what timezone are the times given? - And where do I find the "given list of languages" that are supported?
- vivekprakash 13y ago
  The timezone is Asia/Kolkata. The FAQ page is at http://www.hackerearth.com/judge/ http://www.hackerearth.com/judge/.

    It would help if they just listed the UTC offset, actually. I know my own offset but not for every other timezone there is. Apparently it's UTC+5:30.
    - vivekprakash 13y ago
      Yes, it's UTC+5:30

Different languages get a different amount of execution time for the test cases. A factor is given in the table of available programming languages. It is interesting to see where the languages are grouped: Compiled Languages (1 × time limit): C, C++, Perl, Clojure, JavaScript, Haskell. Java (2 × time limit + 2): Java. Scripting Languages (3 × time limit): Python, Ruby, PHP. I guess the "+2" for Java tries to account for JVM startup. But if Clojure will also run on the JVM, why doesn't it get the same advantage? I am also surprised to see Perl being grouped with the compiled languages, as it actually has a performance profile similar to CPython (which I assume will be used for Python – the entries for Python, Java, Ruby, PHP, Clojure don't mention which of the myriad interpreters/VMs will be used).
