Request for Re-evaluation of Cheating Allegation in 157D

general
1

Respected Code Chef Team,
I want to assure you that I have approached the contest with complete honesty and integrity and did not engage in any form of cheating. I also did not copy, paste, or share my code with anyone. I understand the importance of upholding the rules, and I have made sure to follow them rigorously.
I have carefully reviewing my submission and comparing it with link share by you , I realize that while our approaches may appear similar, the code itself is different. I believe this similarity could be a coincidence due to the problem’s constraints and the logical approach that naturally follows from them.
I respectfully request a re-evaluation of my code submission, taking into account that:

  1. The code structure is distinct, even though the approach may look similar.
  2. There is no evidence of code sharing or duplication from my end.

If is there any way to prove my self correct let me know I will do it but I guarantee in it neither I have share my code nor copy paste from other

Thank you for considering my request. I am committed to maintaining a fair competition environment and hope for a positive resolution.
Sincerely,
Vanshika Agrawal

Hey @anon38420622,

We looked into this and found that your solution matches the code structure, variable names, and logic from this solution CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone, with only formatting differences. Even with those changes, using the same logic can still be flagged as plagiarism.

It may be possible to use same logic , not all var_ names were same one is different and the others were a basic variable it has a probability to conflict , i would like to say please take some strict action against it why some innocent people who have not cheated in any way are getting punished I have work too hard to improve my rating but without my any fault I have to suffer a lot . This all lies for future of student …Have you found the code to be copy paste or something else like that…? please make some strict rule at time of contest to open camera or audio so the same code will not came If students are participating from all over inida so their is a chance of code to conflict even the questions were same so why not some logic too…? but it does not mean that It has been cheated
