Hi all, I got a plagiarism match for my solution to problem 1619A (Round 762, Div.3).

Here is my solution: 140025309

And here is the other guy (Jaggar_2021)'s code: 140079029

I don't know the other person and I have never seen his account before.

This was our conversation after the false plagiarism detection:

I agree that the code is somewhat similar, but the problem was very easy (Div.3 A) and my solution simply involved breaking the original string in half (if the length was a multiple of 2) and comparing the two halves. This was the approach that most people would have thought of. Also my code has slight differences, like I have used one more else block and I have used a typedef for long long. I also used length() function for the length of string, whereas he has used size() function.
