The corrected solution: https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/18605106

  1. Don’t create a public class. Codechef throws a RE in such a case.
  2. Always include the question link and your submitted solution link.

Now, considering your solution, your code has a small mistake; the problem asks to calculate the cumulative lead and compare them. You have calculated the current lead.

In other words, you have compared the absolute difference of score of Player A and B in that particular round, but, according to the problem, you need to compare the sum of scores of A and B upto that particular round…

Hope it helps…:slight_smile:

You can create a public class but the name of class has to be Main then.
