#Describe Your Issue

I participated in Div3 contest 156C and for the second question, my code is similar to two other people’s. The question was quite easy, and the answer was just based on a formula:

If there are no odd numbers → 0
Otherwise, the number of even numbers+1+ (number of odd numbers-1)/2 = e+(o+1)/2

It’s very likely that multiple people came up with the same approach.I don’t understand why my rating dropped.I assure you that I have not cheated in any way. I don’t know the other two individuals, and I have not shared my code with anyone.

You can also review my past submissions across all contests. My coding style is consistent, including the use of the same variable names for loops, conditions, arrays, etc. If my code was copied, I have no knowledge of how this happened because I did not share it with anyone during or even after the contest.

Please rectify this issue.

Hey @nikshaykataria , Our plagiarism detection checks beyond just changing variable names or making small edits, it checks for deeper similarities in code structure and logic, So, just renaming variables but keeping the same logic can still count as plagiarism

Hey @m2210030003 , you got plagiarised due to cheating in START156C:

Ma’am, I haven’t copied anyone’s code or changed variable names to make it look different. I wrote the code entirely on my own. What can I do to prove this, and how can we resolve the issue

hey @nikshaykataria , Do not cheat in coming contests.

Hello @harshitacodes I haven’t copied neither did I, change variables of a different person’s code the code that I submitted is a mathematical type code you can check once again

if (k == 1) {
int score = 2 * v[n - 1] + v[0] + v[n - 2];
System.out.println(score);
} else {
int score = v[0] + v[n - k - 1] + v[n - 1] + v[n - 2];
System.out.println(score);
}

Please do look into it and do justice!
