Hello all,

I was wondering if, for the time limits on problems, the compile time of the program counts against you. Let's say, for example, we use some template magic in C++ to generate the factorial of, say, 50,000 at compile time. This will probably take a lot of time. Would this count against us?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
no, it won't. Only run time is taken into consideration.
However there are strict time limits for compilation, depending on language, so usually it is impossible to performe "magic" of that kind smile
