M0.1: Memory Boxes, Arrays & The $10^8$ Ops/Sec Clock

An Online Assessment problem provides an input array of size $N=2\times 10^5$. If an algorithm performing $O(N^2)$ operations is executed on a standard judge processing roughly $10^8$ operations per second, what is the expected execution outcome?

• A.Time Limit Exceeded (TLE), because $O(N^2)$ generates $4\times 10^{10}$ operations, exceeding the single-second limit by 400 times.
• B.Acceptance, because multi-threaded Online Assessment judges optimize nested loops to $O(N\log N)$ automatically.
• C.Memory Limit Exceeded (MLE), because $2\times 10^5$ squared elements require allocating $4\times 10^{10}$ continuous RAM locations.
• D.Successful execution in 100 milliseconds, because the $10^8$ limit only applies to floating-point operations.
