what is the benefit of struct Solver?
By e3e, history, 5 weeks ago, In English

I see some very good coders such as snuke, Petr do this. struct Solver and writing their actual solution in the Solver's method void solve(). Is there any practical benefit of doing this?

One advantage is that order of function defintions doesn't matter. You can use a function defined below your main function inside main function.
