gollark: Well, you have to deal with the integers from the input, and output integers.
gollark: I can tell you that my entry:- will be submitted- will be written in C or Python- will contain integers for at least the I/O part- will multiply square n * n matrices- will run in either less than, more than or equal to O(n²²¹¹³¹³¹³⁴) time and O((log n)⁶) space- may or may not invoke certain dark bee gods- will be compatible with Linux and potentially other OSes- could contain instances of SCP-3443- will be between (inclusive) 0KB and 20KB (main code file)- may utilize electromagnetic, logical or philosophical induction
