I am writing to address the recent allegation of code similarity concerning my submission [ CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone ] in the [ Starters 128 Division 4 (Rated) ] contest. I want to assure you that the code in question is my original work, and any similarity detected with another submission is purely coincidental.
Upon reviewing the alleged plagiarized code provided, it’s evident that the submission occurred after my own. Considering the timing, it’s implausible for my submission to have plagiarized the code that came afterward.** This timeline discrepancy strongly suggests that there has been a misunderstanding or error in the detection process
