Good for newbies while struggling for finding testcase.

Running something for free is not always a feasible option. In the end, there are a lot of people working to run the platform who should be paid for their work.

Not working for recent contest problem.
UPD: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
Please help me with this. Feature can’t find a testcase where the solution fails , neither can I. If that’s not the case I think solution should be correct.

Consider this test case:

STDIN

1
9 2
8 6
8 2

Expected Output

7
4

Your Output

7
2

It Is Taking More Than Usual, Your Result Will Come Soon…

Nice Feature, this would be very much helpful.

There was an issue with the test case finder. It is fixed now. You can try again.

Actually thats a really good feature :slight_smile: … because till now we never knew where we are failing and giving a test case to check our corner cases would be great … and the best part we won’t be given a full testcase that requires a lot of time , but the case where it gave WA… nice :slight_smile:

Bestest update till now, appreciable feature. :grin:

@itsmemayank - common man. Have some faith in us. Contests will be a free arena.

I feel they should limit the number of times one can use this feature in a month. Say, around 20 free debugs and then charge based on the usage :joy:.

Thanks MasterChef. I’m sure this feature attracts more people to solve the problem, who generally have no idea after getting WA repeatedly. Keep Coding, have your moral high while solving tougher problems. Thank you…

It is a very useful feature. Often I have understood the solution of a problem which uses a different approach, but without understanding where exactly was my approach going wrong. This feature will calm many frustrated minds.

Finally …
Thanks chef.

I really like this idea… since most people would like >20 debugs a month, this would sufficiently incentivize premium imo

In my opinion codechef was already best coding website because of sufficient time to solve problems and the discussions are always relevant unlike codeforces. And now this feature

This feature has some bug. I found this in today’s cookoff contest.
