Why in the code coach the last three test cases are hidden?

Because if no test cases were hidden, one could simply hardcode the solutions for all the inputs, which is not the point of the code coach problems.

In the real world, your code needs to be flexible to all the atrocious forms of input that your clients might provide. As a practice for that, not all the inputs are shown to you. This allows you to formulate a generally-foolproof algorithm without hard coding all the answers. Tl;dr So that you won't hardcode and because it's good practice for real life.

Oh fine! Then it's so for that one cannot manipulate the code according the problem shown. Hey many thanks! 😊
