I just started with node JS, so to get things rolling I was revisiting the Questions that I tried to do using C as a vehicle language. However, I am getting wrong answer and since this is the first NODEJS solution of the program I am also not able to tally my solution with an existing one. Therefore, I am not able to figure out where am I going wrong.

Please Help.

I don’t know how Node.js works, but after doing some research, it looks like you have to do this in order to read input line-by-line in Node.js:

//Create an interface for I/O
var readline = require('readline');
var interface = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  terminal: false
});

//Read stdin line-by-line
interface.on('line', function(line){
    if (line.indexOf("42") != -1) process.exit();
    console.log(line);
});

This solution got AC for me: http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/7438755

It seems like the

"readable"

event gives data in chunks based off the buffer, but

stdin

might not be flushed at every and only at newlines, so this might not be line-by-line.
