Default minimum required precision and supported size for inputs

+1
−0

For challenges that require a input, what is the maximum a solution has to support, if not further specified by the challenge author?

Lets say the input is a string, how long a string has to be accepted? I assume it isn't infinite since that would eliminate most programming languages and all real world implementations of all programming languages. Same for other arrays/lists.

For integers, is there a maximum value a solution has to support?

For real numbers, is there a maximum precision or a minimum error that needs to be supported?

For challenges that require a growing output, like this one, what is the maximum amount a solution has to output before it fails?

@trichoplax‭ made an edit and i can't accept it. Error message:

Failed: You don't have permission to change moderator-only tags.

Why? And what should i do?

Looks like the edit added a tag that only moderators can add, and since you're not a mod the system wouldn't let you approve it. I've approved it, and I see you've raised this on Meta, where I've written a fuller answer. Sorry you tripped over a gap in our interface; I'll see what we can do about that.
