I noticed that my solution has been flagged as "out of competition" because it matched with another participant's solution. I want to clarify that I have never shared my code with anyone, nor have I copied someone else’s code. The match with another solution is purely coincidental.
I am not familiar with the person whose solution matched mine, and I have no connection with them. Is there any way to resolve this issue and restore my status in the competition?
For reference, this occurred during Codeforces Rounds 998 and 999.
I encountered the same in codeforces round 998 with the problem F multiplicative array, I have also written a blog regarding this matter here. I hope it reaches the authorities and helps me get unflagged!!!
Me too i actually used similar approach from LeetCode 1735
same here
Maybe sometimes the code is so Simple that two people might write the same code considering none of them uses any template.
Maybe
u def cheated because why would you have a solve function in one code while no solve function in another???
I use dev c++ to write code sometimes my code doesn''t compile so i rewrote the code on one of my existing code that happened to have solve fun so i went with it
its fine if my Kevin and And got skipped cuz my teacher helped me solve it
