Hidden cases!

Question

I recently upgraded to PRO because I like solving solutions and then I expected to be able to see the input values and error messages in all of the tested cases, but I can still only see the input values and error messages from the two first cases. The rest of the cases are still locked. Is that normal even as a PRO member?

Answer 2

Yup it is normal, for any kind of user it is locked. if it is even unlocked it will be an easy question

Answer 3

Jan Larsen No one is able to see the locked test cases. My theory of why that popped up when you tapped a locked case is that some code coaches may have one extra unlocked case for PRO members.

Before I had PRO membership, there were always two unlocked cases and the rest were locked. Sometimes now I see a third unlocked case, which I can only assume is due to having PRO.

It would be farcical if anyone could see all test cases because it would mean you wouldn't have to solve the problem properly. If you knew in advance that the inputs would be 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and that the expected outputs were 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14, you could just submit a code that went

if (input == 1) return 2
...

which is not actually solving the problem at all.

You may find the answer in pro feature while buying

This may happen if you touch one of pro code coach, I have solved almost all and none of them pops pro page while touching hidden case

Answer 6

Ananiya Jemberu --> That's weird, because when I was a free member, it came up with the "upgrade to pro page", when I tried to click on one of the hidden cases!!!!

Answer 7

But the popup was actually triggered when I clicked on one of the locked cases, when I was a free member.

Answer 8

Simba --> Hmmm...okay.

Answer 9

Ananiya Jemberu --> But you are not a pro member, so how do you know that?
