Code of the Rings - Hard Coded Solutions

Contests
#1

I really want to know if Hard Coded Solutions are considered cheating ?
For example on Testcase #7 :

if(str == "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
    print "+>-[<.>-]....."

Frankly in my opinion this shouldnt be allowed as it dosent really encourage thinking and programming.But if the admins say that it is okay for people to do this then I have no problem.

But if the admins say that hard coding a solution is ILLEGAL then they must make sure that hard coded solutions are disquaified from the contest and leaderboard.

Hi,

You cannot hardcode because the tests used to compute your score are not the ones you get in the development environment.

Just give it a try : submit a hardcoded solution and you will see that you get a 0% score :frowning:
