Group for student JAVA programmers

Hey guys! I am new to Codechef here and am dealing with many problems (like TLE for most of the time) myself while solving competitive problems. So, I’ve decided to take on the practice problems in Java but I’ve noticed that there are very few submissions there to see and learn from. So I’ve decide to make a group in FB which will act as a platform to discuss our problems and solutions with our fellow Java programmers here. Anyone interested may follow this link : https://www.facebook.com/groups/127584137809470/

If you are getting TLE due to slow I/O don’t use Scanner class .

I was getting TLE due to slow I/O during during April Long 17 for CLIQUED.

check out this :- [faster I/O in JAVA][1]

Happy Coding :slight_smile:

Most of the time TLE is due to the naive algorithm and not I/O, but in JAVA it is good to use faster I/O.

i don’t think my algorithms are naive all the time. :frowning:

thanks for the link

This is a code here for fast input output .
