- Python solutions of Google Kick Start 2021. Solution begins with
*means it will get TLE in the largest data set. - Total computation amount >
10^8is not friendly for Python to solve in 5 ~ 15 seconds. - A problem was marked as
Very Hardmeans that it was an unsolved one during the contest and may not be that difficult. - From 2021-04,
PyPy3is supported by the online judge. - From 2021-11,
Python2/PyPy2is no longer supported by the online judge. - You need to run
2to3 -n -W --add-suffix=3 solution.pyto convert the solution intoPython3/PyPy3.
