-----provide the same code that you submitted

Timely reminder to please either format your code or (better!) link to your submission - the forum software has mangled it and it won’t compile! :slight_smile:

is one of the reasons your code isn’t working, change j=2(n-i) to j=2*(n-i).
Also import java.util. doesn’t make any sense, I guess you meant import java.util.*, if you check the compiler errors, the compiler says <identifier> expected.

Format your code, otherwise there will be a lot more comments like the 2nd one or the 4th one.

Well , I think there had some issues while copying the code …

Here’s my code : CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

Clicking on this link says Access denied! You don't have permissions for this page. but any who my previous answer almost says all the changes to be made, now I can’t see your solution since you removed it, the last thing I saw was that your whole code was basically a comment, you forgot to do */ after /* Name of the class has to be “Main” only if the class is public. /
Also your code contains a lot of different Unicode characters that look almost the same, seems like a prank.
Well if you’re not really trying to prank us, rewriting the code will be better in my opinion.

I am a newbie in codechef … how do i share my submission ? why would I even prank…

I didn’t say that you were trying to prank, I said it seems like a prank, but anyways, I don’t think you can share share the solution link, the view buttons on the solutions are greyed out.

My code is alright …there’s some problem in spaces or something , thats the reason they cant evaluate properly … [I just started doing codechef 2 days back ,so do excuse me I’m a noob]

Okay, I guess, but to me that doesn’t seem to be the problem though.

guys I appreciate everybody’s help. I would like you guys I have found my error. Thanks everyone :smiley:

yeah … it was mangled by the forum software. But i found my mistake … and its solved
