spoj problem link nzec error in python

general
1

my solution is givingruntime nzec error for this code
t = int(raw_input())
while t:
s = raw_input().split()
n = int(s[0])
k = int(s[1])
m = int(s[2])
cnt =0
if n greater than and equal to m:
print “0”
continue
d = 0
while 1:
if n less than and equal to m:
n = (n * k)
cnt = cnt + 1
else:
break 
                print cnt - 1
        
                t= t-1
    
    but for the same problem another code which is not much different than me is getting accepted
    the accepeted code is
    tc=int(raw_input())
    while(tc):
    	s=raw_input().split()
    	n=int(s[0])
    	k=int(s[1])
    	m=int(s[2])
    
    	d=0
    	while(1):
    		n=n*k
    		d=d+1
    		if(n greater than m):
    			d=d-1
    			break
    	print d
    	tc-=1

i am completely unable to figure where i am getting wrong
need urgent help

in the code when n >= m you “continue” the loop without even decrementing the no. of test cases left, i.e, the variable t. So input file and you input format mismatches when such test case occurs.

Suggestions:

  1. use “for _ in xrange(int(raw _ input))”, saves time and looks more pythonic
  2. use map(int, raw_input().split()) to obtain an array from the input consisting of space separated integers, again saves time and more pythonic

thanx yaar my code accepted
