Sololearn's compiler mistake!

Question

Hello everyone!
In the C++ course, while solving the second code project, I believed I solved the problem correctly however my output and the expected output weren't matching. I was a bit surprised and as a result, I copied the same exact code and tried different online compilers and Vscode too, my output there matched the expected output which after entering the number(11<18<29<33<44) must return 44.5 because 11% off from 50. But in Sololearn, my output is 49 always regardless of the input and I then realised that the variable min is always =2(only on sololearn) I have no idea why! So was it a coincidence or is it a mistake from the sololearn's compiler?

(I tried all the visible test cases in vscode and they all worked normally and returned the expected output).

Answer 1

TOURE GRANDIZER ,

can you please link your code here so that we are able to figure out what the issue is?

> please also mention the exercise name / number.

Answer 2

It is NOT a compiler mistake. Different compilers may slightly vary in how they treat uninitialized values and how "strict" they are.

If you initialize your array as
int ages[5];
you have not assigned any value to ages[0] yet. You need to set
ages[0] = 0;
***before***
int min = ages[0];
(Or simply initialize int min = 0)

TOURE GRANDIZER
That's a garbage value 2, i think actually..

Assign min = ages[0] after taking input into ages[0];
Else set min = Integer_max or if your inputs don't have negetive values, then set min= -1 ; a negetive value....
