Hi diliscia,
Iâve done the same approach, but my problem is each portion that matched character index in T string ( i.e ROW.substring(index4, (index4) + 4) canât be stored properly in either String, String array, or even a StringBuilder when having multiple letters in T String!
Even when try to print portion by portion the substring from ROW I got missed up output!
Could you please help me out! Iâm using java.
This âLorem ipsumâ text contains spaces, be sure that you reading whole line but not just first word.
The results page is saying my code fails validator 6 even though when I test the validator by myself, assuming the order is WMADXESFGIJVTHKNOBPLYQRUCZ or WMADXESFGIJVTHKNOBPLYQRUZC. It works when I run it through the IDE, but the validator says itâs failing. Iâm not sure if this is the right spot to bring this up but I dont known where else to.
Validators are different from the tests, but equivalent. So passing the test in the IDE does not mean you will pass the corresponding validator.
I did it in typescript and php
1rst submit didnât pass few tests (4-5 if i remember well)
It was because i didnât read the instructions thoroughly⊠and i treated only @ as ?
Just had to change that for any character not a-z or A-Z and all validated
Just split the string and match a-zA-Z with their ascii art, anything else is the 27th ASCIIart character, which is a â?â
From there it should be good

My program works fine in my IDE, but when I enter it into the site and attempt to run any of the tests I get:
Console output
Errors
Segmentation fault.
Failure
Found:
Nothing
Expected:
Iâm still fairly new to this so any guidance would be appreciated.
I dont understand too, WTF validator â5 Test Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,âŠâ.
I see testcase #5 âMANHATTAN with another ASCII representationâ, and its successfully passed.
There should be something done to remove or change the âLorem ipsum dolor sit amet,âŠâ to be more validator friendly.
Me and my friend did this puzzle, I failed and he didnât fail the 5th validator the only difference between us is I use a constant string âABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ?â to get the # of the letter, while he use the ASCII values of the characters to calculate their position.
It looks as if peopleâs code couldnât work with spaces.
@MiguelNLopez sorry about the late reply. It seems you donât handle the âZâ letter properly
@Rebornsol Iâm sorry, unfortunately, we have an issue with getting the stack trace of segmentation faults on solo puzzles. Since itâs working in your IDE, it might be related to the way you read the inputs. Unfortunately, my C/C++ knowledge is very low. Anyone willing to help?
@polill00 youâre right, we should improve the IDE test cases which seem sub-par compared to other puzzles. Iâll look into it. Thanks!

Hey all, iâve been failing validation tests AB!!CD and Lorem Ipsum in JS and i do not know why (iâve tested with a handwritten lorem ipsum string, and it did output LOREM?IPSUM etc⊠however when testing AB!!CD i get AB?CD) .
Right now i create a dictionary which contains all letters and ? symbol, and attribute to each their ASCII representation as given in ROW (every letter gets its current row representation , eg a:" # ").
I then store the formatted version of T, which replaced all non [a-z][A-Z] characters by â?â. I use a regex with .replace() for that :
let thisWord = T.toUpperCase();
let replacedWord = thisWord.replace(/([^a-zA-Z])+/g, "?");
I then iterate T and fetch the letterâs values in the dict, and output the concatenation of all letters.
Could anyone look at my code and give me hints ? Iâm a beginner in JS, so any help is appreciated .
EDIT : Well, iâm an idiot. The regex + was at fault. Now 100% !
the 7th test have some problem
Nope. It does not.
Continuing the discussion from ASCII art puzzle discussion:
Bonjour Ă tous,
Je me permets de poster encore un message ici Ă propos de ce puzzle. Jâai rĂ©ussi Ă 90%, mais les tests se plantent sur le âLorem IpsumâŠâ. Jâai pourtant bien gĂ©rĂ© les espaces et les caractĂšres spĂ©ciaux, mais rien nây fait. Jâai fait un test hors CodinGame et ça marche. En tout cas, je ne vois pas dâerreur. Du coup, je ne sais pas quoi faire parce que je ne sais pas ce quâils attendent comme rĂ©sultat.
De plus, je nâai pas accĂšs aux solutions, ce que trouve franchement dommage, surtout quand on a fait 90%âŠ
Est-ce que quelquâun aurait une idĂ©e ?
It seems your code doesnât handle well the last row, I donât know why. Hereâs the Lorem Ipsum validator for you to double check:
