Bug on Clash of Code?

Hi,

From time to time, I get something weird when trying the test cases in the Clash of Code challenge.
My output seems OK (when compared to the example) but the expected output is “nothing” and I don’t pass the test.
I can’t understand how the expected output could be “nothing”…

Cheers,

Hi,

You just ouput… too much !

Thanks for the answer but I now have 2 other questions:

  1. How outputing too much could change the expected result? If the expected result is “foo” and, as you said, I output too much, the expected result should still stay “foo”, right?
  2. When the expected result is “1 2 3 4” and is "1 2 3 4 " (with a trailing space) considered too much?

Thanks,

  1. Yes, but the console show the differences line per line (“Expected: Nothing” means you print too many lines)
  2. Yes, but in this case you’ll see:
    Found: "1 2 3 4 "
    Expected: “1 2 3 4”

  1. OK.

  2. That’s my problem. The console was displaying:
    Found: "1 2 3 4 "
    Expected: nothing

(I’ll take a screenshot next time that happens…)

#6

Make sure there’s not an extra line being thrown in somewhere. If it expects one line and gets two, the second line will flag (expected nothing, got something).

#7

I’ll double check next time…
Thanks for the suggestion.

#8

Also don’t forget to end line after finishing output

what do you mean “to end line”.
I often have the same problem. it outputs 1 line only. The line in the console looks exacly as the expected value in the TC-List and the checker says: Expected nothing.
