Count number of digits in factorial - Input/Ouput performance issue

Question

I am solving task on spoj platform - count number of digits in factorial. I found Kamenetsky Formula and implemented it:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        int numOfTests = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());

        for(int i = 0; i < numOfTests; i++) {
            System.out.println(KamenetskyFormula(Integer.parseInt(in.readLine())));
        }

        /*
        in.lines()
                .limit(numOfTests)
                .map(n -> Integer.parseInt(n))
                .forEach(n -> System.out.println(KamenetskyFormula(n)));*/
    }

    private static long KamenetskyFormula(int n) {
        if (n < 2) {
            return 1;
        }
        double x = n * Math.log10(n / Math.E) + Math.log10(2 * Math.PI * n) / 2.0;
        return (long) (Math.floor(x) + 1);
    }
}

first I used commented code (streams) and as I thought it's slower than actual one (without comments) so I changed but still getting exceed time limit. How can I make it faster?

Example input is (first line is number of tests):

3
1
10
100

and expected output:

1
7
158

Answer 1

I think the time limit is exceeding because of the slow I/O. This is mainly because of System.out.println's underlying PrintStream. Find more details in this post why-is-system-out-println-so-slow. You can refer to the below Fast I/O template which will help solve this problem.

Reference - Fast I/O in java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;

public class YourClassName {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        InputStream inputStream = System.in;
        OutputStream outputStream = System.out;
        InputReader in = new InputReader(inputStream);
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outputStream);
        TaskA solver = new TaskA();
        int testCount = Integer.parseInt(in.next());
        for (int i = 1; i <= testCount; i++)
            solver.solve(i, in, out);
        out.close();
    }

    static class TaskA {
        public void solve(int testNumber, InputReader sc, PrintWriter w) {
            /*your logic goes here
            use w.println here to print the output which is usually faster
            */
        }

    }

    static class InputReader {

                curChar = 0;

                    return -1;
