"I want to ask a question" - Ask them all here!

Even i have the exact same query XD

I got wrong answer in the samesnak problem asked in snack down qualifiers. Can anyone please tell me whatā€™s wrong with the code. Hereā€™s the link: https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/13762975

Can you please check once the test cases provided by fellow members to other people who got WA? Have a look at similar questions and the errors, and then comment here if help is still needed. I will then convert it to a question (This question is being repeatedly asked, hence my request to have a check :slight_smile: )

You dont need this thread to ask question, you have enough karma to create one on your own. Just asking for confirmation- You want this answer to be converted into an independent question?

Can anybody tell me what is meant by number of stars beside a usersā€™ name? I have seen many people having different number of stars beside their name. Some have 3* or 7* or so.

Stars are awarded on basis of your ratings. More ratings=more stars= meaning the user did well in contests

If the Q dont come within 24 hours, i will upgrade it into a question :slight_smile:

IS THERE ANY WAY OF EARNING KARMA POINTS OTHER THAN UPVOTING WHICH IS EASY PLZ REPLY

Doesnā€™t lunchtime have editorials?

According to the Buddhist belief Karma is that whatever you do comes back to you, e.g. if you do something good, something good will happen to you, and vice versa.

Firstly- The input given in problem is just an example. Real inputs are much trickier.

Secondly- Please give a link to your submission so that we can have a look at what you did.

I will upgrade it into a question once you insert the link to your submission :slight_smile:

They usually have.

Agreed. Since the contest is more for school children, it should have more easy questions (not cakewalks tho).

I am converting this into a question, but please see that we cannot use multiple slots for same question (esp. by a single user). Not only this hinders proper funneling of information, it consumes a slot which might better serve for someone elseā€™s question. Hope you will keep this in mind next time! :slight_smile:

Thanks.

In the latest SNCKPB17 contest, in SNELECT, can you provide all the trick cases because according to me there is no error in my code even after spending 2 hours on it. It will really help a lot. Thank You!

This is against the rules.

  1. What is the ā€œaccept rateā€ below each userā€™s name in the forum?
  2. After each contest, how long until rating and solving activity are updated?

I did SnackDown Pre-A which was several days ago, but neither rating nor ā€œsolved problemsā€ on my profile have been updated since then. Or are these 24-hour contests unrated? Thanks Vijju.

Accept rate is the % of answers (of that user) which got accepted by other users. Accepted answer means the answer satisfied the query of the one of who asked the query and rewards the answering user with karma.

Ratings can take time sometimes, while at times they are done instantaneously . Snackdown is elimination rounds are not rated afaik. Lunchtime, Coofoff and Long contests are rated, and any external contest which they declared as rated. All other contests are unrated.
