general
1

In the question, CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone,

output for the test case -

6
0 4 5 8 11 8

should be “Yes”, but almost every AC submission, outputs “No” for the same.

Explanation -
0 4 8
5 8 11
are two AP sub-sequences.

@ utkarshh12 please respond!

This is the reason that i find the bug in my solution almost 2hr long and give up.
I also have doubt in the test case of Quality Work.

There are many othe testcases too:
like
7
1 2 3 -2 4 10 16
Sequences are 1 2 3 and -2 4 10 16 (just simply concatenated in testcase)
Answer is ‘Yes’ but few submissions that i checked gave ‘No’.

@utkarshh12 Remove this problem if solution/test-cases are wrong.

Focus on the two smallest elements. This should be enough of hint.

Check one cpp and one java solution and you will see the difference in output section.
i tried one cpp and one java(Java and cpp)

Why did this happen btw ?

I think this is the issue with constaint in the test case file.
but my output is matched with the cpp one, and i think there may be some mistake in test file like this (some overflow type).

@souradeep1999 What do you think about this problem ? Maybe the test-cases only have distinct array elements ?

16

which one?

“GOOD-SERIES-PROBLEM”

Like even though I have a solution, I feel that there can be cases where it might fail, I want to know if an absolutely correct solution exists for this problem ?(many AC solutions failing simple tests)
