Why just Codeforces shows a wrong verdict for this problem?
By -VEGETA-, history, 4 years ago, In English

Here's the problem:

166A - Rank List

The same codes are having different verdicts here,

submission:113596205

113554437 (WA on test 15)

113536634 (WA on test 15)

Accepted one is in C++17(64). Rest two are in C++17 and C++14. I use sublime text and Your text to link here... Both gives correct output for test 15 in C++14 and other versions. But This problem's verdict and custom invocation shows me wrong. I wonder what's the deal here?

Your comparator doesn't meet the compare requirements. Shortly, cmp(A,B) should return true only if object A is strictly less than object B. In particular, cmp(A, A) must always return false. Otherwise it will lead to undefined behavior and that's exactly what you've got.

So just change 1 symbol and it turns into AC: 117936962

    Doesn't cmp(A, A) return false in C++17(64)? I got AC verdict.

      It does not. If an object doesn't compare equal to itself, you have UB, and then you're doomed: your code may in theory work as expected, produce RE or WA or TL or put your computer on fire. Never rely on UB.
