Why is this code getting RTE?
Any help will be appreciated :slight_smile:
And, by the way, how can I change my country code?

The code encountered the Runtime error due to the function::

		bool substring(string s1,string s2)
		{
			 for(int i=0;i<s1.length()-s2.length()+1;i++)
			 {
				   if(s1.string::substr(i,s2.length())==s2)
				   return true;  
			 }
			 return false;
		}

See there is no-where written in the problem statement that (favorite_lucky_strings).length <= pillow_string.length();

After looking at your code I can easily say that you assumed favorite_lucky_strings).length() <= pillow_string.length(); while writing the code and YES this cause the RTE.

Consider the Testcase::

1 1
74747474
47

good[0]=“74747474”;

pill=“47”;

call substring(pill,good[0]);

In Substring Function::
S1= 47

S2=74747474

s1 Length=2

s2 Length=8

s1.length()-s2.length()+1 = -5

So the for loop will run for i=0,1,2,3,… as

I val is: 0 .The Substring is 47

I val is: 1 .The Substring is 7

I val is: 2 .The Substring is

I val is: 3. out_of_range ie,RUNTIME ERROR.

I am pasting the result/output generated by my compiler for the above testcase

	input:
	1 1
	74747474
	47
	output:
	S1:: 47
	S2:: 74747474
	s1 Length:2
	s2 Length:8
	s1.length()-s2.length()+1 -5
	I val is: 0 .The Substring is 47
	I val is: 1 .The Substring is 7
	I val is: 2 .The Substring is 
	I val is: 3
	stderr:
	terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
	  what():  basic_string::substr**95

Check your code run at IDEONE.com for the above test case

Thank you, but (if I’m not wrong) if |s1|-|s2|+1<0 it won’t enter for loop, am I right? Again, thanks :slight_smile:
For second question, I’ve already done that, and it changed the country on my account(not on this profile, I ask for some other) and the country code didn’t changed.
I want to change country code cause of country rank.
