How to interpret the judge results?
You can observe the following replies:
- Success. Solution Accepted: Enjoy, you have solved a problem. Don't forget my treat ;)
- Compile Error: Do I need to explain this?
- Wrong Answer: Sorry, the answer is not matching the judge's answer. Have you ensured that the output is exactly in the same format. Any stray blanks?
- Execution Error: It can be further divided into following categories:
- CPU time exceeded: Try to find a better algorithm.
- Invalid Memory Reference: Null pointer exception? Are you consuming too much memory. Optimize your algorithm to cut down on the memory requirements.
- Process tried to write a file: Did I forget to tell you that your program is not allowed to write to any file.
- Process killed by signal: Your program behaved nastily, and was killed by signalling. Did your program go in an infinite loop?
- Unkown Error: Oops I dont know what happened :(
Is there any penalty for wrong solutions?
Yes, you will be penalized 20 minutes for wrong submissions. The team solving the maximum number of problems in minimum aggragate time will be the winner in the contest.
The judge is giving compile error, while the program is working fine on my computer
With our previous experiences, we have learnt that people face the following errors while submitting problems
- You have used some non standard library of C/C++ which are not supported by gcc/g++, for example conio.h library wich works with borland C++, is not compatible with gcc/g++.
- In case of java programs, you have not specified the name of the file.
The Rank page is not showing my team!
The rank page will show only the top 100 teams.
The rank page is not update :(
The rank page will update itself, whenever you submit a correct solution.
How is my program going to get input?
Your program will get input through standard input, and the output of your program should be directed to the standard output. Use commands lie scanf (in C), cin (in C++), BufferReader (with System.in in java) etc for the inputs.
Does gcc/g++ support conio.h?
No, gcc does not support conio.h.
