My 2 cents. 1. Keep in mind that we are not paid to answer your question, so no one should expect any prompt response.
2. Most of the community are not expert, so we may not be able to answer your question if you are not providing enough information, such as language/version/platform etc. 3. Also keep in mind that reading someone else code isn't an easy thing either, most of the people (like me) will be frustrated when reading code without any documentation and the code is not self explanatory. Try to put comments in your code describing each line that does not do a trivial thing. Or try to write a summary of the approach you are using in plain English. Just don't assume that people can read your mind. 4. If your solution is not accepted, it is very likely that it is not correct. Producing the correct result in your local dev environment against your input/sample input doesn't mean your code is correct. Keep in mind that the platform will run much more complex test cases and/or extreme test cases and/or corner test cases. Just solving the usual test cases won't give you any credit at all. In rare cases, the platform did make mistake; they sometimes added test cases that are beyond the given input limit, or they forget to add some valid corner cases and let some incorrect solution passed, but this is not something you should worry about. Google has internal testers to make sure that the question/test data are well prepared. 5. I am quite active in this community, so if you do think you need any urgent help, you can try to reach me directly. I am familiar with C++/Java/Python. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
