Why are so many challenge questions repeated?

Question

I've mostly done JavaScript challenges and the amount of times questions are repeated gets a bit ridiculous. I submitted a new question and it got declined as too many similar questions which I could respect if I was seeing all the other similar questions.

Any tips on getting new questions within the same language?

Answer 1

@Duncan
i'm not sure if there are similar Q's in c++.
but that quiz is just maths. which may take some time to solve & may not be possible to complete within a reasonable limit.

submit quizzes based on tips from that post.
pure math quiz are difficult to get approved.
submit quizzes like which are general have topics covered by Sololearn. are not repeated. simple to solve for most.

Answer 2

sure check the below. might help.

Answer 3

from random import choice
import Sololearn.quizzes
question=Sololearn.quizzes.all()
for i in range(5):
print(choice(question))
#and that's kindof how you get your quizzes
#as you know, random can give the same
#thing as output as there is a limited
#database of questions

Answer 4

If your question has been solved add [SOLVED] in your question.
That will help other askers to search and get your question as same as thier and solved already.

Happy coding </>

Answer 5

Lord Krishna - this was my question for a C++:

It was multiple choice with options 0, 1, True or False.

......
What is the output of this code?

int main() {

int a, b;
int c = 5;
int result1, result2;
bool result3;
a = 10;
b = 15;

result1 = a * b - c * a;
result2 = a * (b - c) * a;
result3 = (result2 / result1) == a;

cout << result3;

return 0;
}

Answer 6

Pegasus - can certainly appreciate how random selection may work but there are a number of questions that are repeated very often. Just seems a bit pointless as the answer should already be known.

Answer 7

Thanks for the feedback. From that perspective there probably are too many similar questions as there are heaps of math problems out there. When I wrote it I had just learnt about C++ booleans so it was intended as that. In hindsight, it's mostly maths :)
At least I wrote the question in the code playground and made sure it worked before copying it to the quiz :)
