Should the challenges be so focused on casing of string literals?

Question

I was solving the Gotham challenge in c++ and i noticed that an error in "casing of a letter" would mean you got the challenge wrong even if your code was perfect. Isn't the learning supposed to be centered on the coding rather than whether a letter in a string is upper or lower case.

As a side note, i had to change my "ok" code several times to clear the challenge and that wasn't even the problem?

Answer 1

As a programmer, you have to be accurate. One syntax error and everything falls apart.

Getting the output right is the *least* difficulty of code coach tasks. Why not just copypaste the output strings?

Answer 2

From the challenge, i was expected to output " Good Luck out there!"

My output was "Good luck out there!"

Notice the difference? Its a little harsh to say code is wrong when all thats different is the 'l' on 'Luck'

I do agree with the standard names in the language but i do think there should be flexibility on strings as those are to be determined by the programmer in a real world scenario.

Answer 3

Alright
