Does CodeChef have any Code Of Conduct?

I did not cheat on codechef. My solution for problem 137C is original. Although our code is similar, I encountered a runtime error and used another application to debug it. This may have led to the use of similar variable names, but it was not intentional. I have a history of honest participation and am committed to giving my best effort.

@techno_791 - the team has reviewed your appeal and the plagiarism verdict stays as it is.

I did not cheat in the contest. I was unaware that our code was similar. When I encountered a runtime error, I used an application to debug and find the issue. This helped me correct my code, which I then submitted. You can verify this by checking my runtime errors and debugging process.

Despite my honest efforts, my rating was unfairly decreased. This has led me to consider quitting CodeChef.

@techno_791

This is your submission match with another user which has been flagged for plagiarism. Even the indentation / code formatting is the same.

I did not cheat in the contest. I submitted my code first and did not share it with anyone. When I encountered a runtime error, I used an application to find and debug the error. It is just a coincidence that our code is similar; the other participant was also likely referencing the same application.

If this issue is not resolved, I will have to consider leaving CodeChef despite my significant time and sincere efforts to build a good profile. I may join another platform where my honest participation is recognized.

I did not cheat in the contest. While our code and syntax are similar, they are not identical. I solved the question with my own effort. When I faced a runtime error due to time complexity, I used an application to identify and debug the issue. The application provided a solution, which I then submitted to CodeChef. This was an honest mistake, not cheating. Therefore, I do not understand why I received a cheating allegation tag. If this issue is not resolved, I will consider leaving CodeChef despite my significant efforts to build a good profile through sincere problem-solving.

I discussed a problem with a friend during the contest, believing there was an issue with the question. My friend suggested my solution might be correct despite different outputs. I submitted it based on this discussion. I understand now that this was against the rules, but my intention was not to cheat. After the contest, I emailed Code Chef about the issue. Please reconsider my case.

I am not cheated in the contest but my logic is similar to the others. While solving the problems some problems are not coming I was used some chat bots correct the syntax and other things. Please consider my request

I am not cheated in any of the contest but my logic is similar to the others. how this can make me verdict ,I don’t even know the person who ever you mentioned in the mail then how could I share answers ,While solving the problems I used some chat bots correct the syntax . Please consider my request and pls don’t decrease my ratting

I didn’t cheat in any way, the question for which i plaged was very simple , and the solition can be similar , I don’t know how the plag system works , but there was not any plagrism from my side

I am not cheating any contest.i think the logic was same .it means that doesn’t matter I have cheated.i don’t even know the person that you have send to me please consider this.

Iam wrongly plagged where i also did same but check ive explained the code and check my profile activity you can panalize for only one question not the entire contest then

Dear CodeChef Team,

I want to clarify that I did not copy any other user’s code, and I have always followed the contest rules. The problem in question was relatively simple, and a brute force approach seemed like the most straightforward solution. This might have led to similarities in code between multiple participants.

I kindly request you to review my case thoroughly, as the similarities are coincidental and not a result of any malpractice. If you need additional information or evidence, I would be happy to provide it.

Thank you for your time and understanding."

Dear codechef team
pls check again,
These codes are write by myself.
I have done my contest sincerely.
I know cheating doesn’t increase my knowledge.
Unfortunately, if someone codes matches with me, then i am not responsible for that.
Because i have not share it or copied it.
Calling my codes as Plagiarism is wrong,
Pls Do not make these kinds of assumptions with those who give contest sincerely.

Dear CodeChef Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently received a notification regarding plagiarism in my submissions, and I would like to clarify that I did not intentionally copy any other user’s solution. I carefully work on my own code and take great pride in maintaining the integrity of my submissions.

If there are similarities in my code and others, I believe it may be due to common approaches used for solving the problem, but I assure you that no copying occurred.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear CodeChef Team,

I recently received an email regarding plagiarism in Starters 173, but I genuinely have no idea how my code matched with others. I did not share my code with anyone, but there is a possibility that someone accessed it unknowingly in one of the following ways:

  • Someone might have seen my code on my laptop while I was participating in the contest.
  • My system might have been compromised (hacked) without my knowledge.

If any similarity occurred unknowingly, I sincerely apologize. I have always followed CodeChef’s Code of Conduct and request you to kindly reconsider my case. I assure you this won’t happen again.

Looking forward to your kind response.

Best regards,
