What is your opinion about the challenge section in sololearn app?

Question

I like this section because it gives you the ability to improve your programming knowledge, do you agree with me??

Answer 1

Main source of XP income. Can't complain. =^=

Answer 2

I like it mostly, but some questions are ridiculously intrincated for that little amount of time

Answer 3

well on the one hand,time to analyze the code is less for beginners.on the other hand it makes one sharpen the ability to think fast.i like it

Answer 4

I don't really like the challenge section (even if I am using it)
- The timer should stop at zero and not move on to the next question, that way you would get a chance to finish your tought and it would improve your skill
- There should be the possibility to review questions (may also to discust about them) to actually learn from them
- the xp loss is to extreme, in the case of wrong answers) compaired to the xp gained on a win/draw
- After some time the questions are repetitive, this makes memorize to become the best way to improve (if the questions would be with variables instead of fixed values they would be more diversified)

I really hope it will be improved to actally help people to learn something (after all the app is still called sololearn)

Answer 5

There are some problems that could be better but it is a good idea.

Answer 6

i like it because i can learn more program knowledge In it

Answer 7

the section help everyone to improve programing skill and if someone is saying that its not upto mark my friend the every content they are providing is free and still providing every stuff they make high standard which is really awsome !

Answer 8

I dont' like creepy challenge game but I like challenge section because it's motivate me a lot. It's force me to learn every single detail.
I feel this challenging is for fun.
Just like playing multiplayer game but not so hard.

I will never be a best programmer in the world just winning funny game but it's help me to learn everyday. And.....actually....I'm a wedding videographer. Learn to code for fun. :-)

Answer 9

A few questions have wrong answer. I mean who the hell approved those quiz. Loops are stupid. Looks like we are playing mathematics instead programming.

Answer 10

@Hermann Go and make some more, then!

Answer 11

The challenge section is not only unproductive, it's bad for learning how to design software. The design of software is not about solving math in one's head, nor is it about some weird and arcane use of the more exotic syntax features of a particular language. Software design is about data flow, intelligent choices that map well to a particular problem and offer flexibility for modification and improvements. It is about using the most appropriate data structures and methods of manipulating said data structures in order to perform transformations and make decisions. This should be done in a way that is as general as possible, while remaining tailored to the current problem. The challenge section is a silly toy for people who are addicted to getting "xp" points doing useless code snippets, rather than getting real-world experience in solving larger problems efficiently and elegantly.

Answer 12

When you reach higher level it becomes very difficult to earn more XP as you will lose many points on a single loss and earn very less on a single win........Also a very small list of competitors get displayed in the challenge section......some questions are having wrong answers

Answer 13

So simple questions

Answer 14

I like it, if you got couple of minutes to waste it's good.

Answer 15

I think it's good but some questions demands a lot of time

Answer 16

I agree with hatsy! (;

Answer 17

So, I really liked the idea, it was a good hit with the developers. So far I only attended one.

Answer 18

It is really cool, maybe there could be more questions

Answer 19

I would like to see it extended into all of available courses. I am a little sad that there aren't any challenges for Ruby and CSS yet.

Answer 20

it should be tiered better
