Loading collection data...
Collections are a way for you to organize kata so that you can create your own training routines. Every collection you create is public and automatically sharable with other warriors. After you have added a few kata to a collection you and others can train on the kata contained within the collection.
Get started now by creating a new collection.
To answer one of your questions: Compile time is included in the time limit.
Your algorithm is likely not scaling well in terms of performance for bigger n.
My first algorithm would get the 12 sec limit when attempting this kata.
Turns out I had to take a completely different approach for it to scale better. My submitted solution on my i9 takes almost 5 seconds to compute "theBee 1000".
I benchmarked other solutions on the site, and they took between half the time, to double the time of mine.
