Bad challenges - so annoying!!

Question

There is so many challenges out there (especially in c++) which the answers to is just incorrect. for example, they ask if a code is valid while the main function should return int and the return statement isn't even written there.

Please Sololearn - you are great, but review the challenges better please!!! (I literally almost broke my phone raging on the fifth time)

Answer 1

If you find an incorrect question in challenges please do report it. Thats all we can do for now 😥

Answer 2

In java challenges, there are some really triggering questions. Why would ever do "String s = new String("g")" or "Integer i = new Integer(4)", you just do not do that.

Answer 3

"depends on the compiler"

This is only true if you're using a compiler that doesn't follow the specs. Otherwise, it is always a given that a main function without a return statement returns 0: http://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq2.html

Answer 4

Speaking of Java challenges I also thought many answers were wrong. Later I found out that I was wrong, some of them are really tricky

Answer 5

@merkrafter - depends on the compiler. you know what - wonderful. There is a question in the challenges which ask if a code is valid to and the return value doesnt exist there and the answer is not valid. (f-word) choose which way to go...

Answer 6

@Martin - hahaha in c++ I had a question which was so not trivial to understand something like the output of string("abc" "ghd")

Answer 9

(In C++ you don't necessarily need a return statement in the main function. If you don't write one, the compiler adds it automatically.)
