Description

In competitive programming, time scaling is a policy where the standard time limit for a problem is adjusted (usually increased) for programming languages that are inherently slower or less efficient than the primary language used by the platform's judging system (typically C++).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the existing configuration files for time limits and add fields for Java and Python scaling factors. Then modify the problem generation logic to apply these factors when creating problem statements.
