By leonlian, history, 2 years ago, In English

Regarding the cheating in codeforces round #824, here are some submissions that need to be looked at:

upd: https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1735/submission/174420701 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1735/submission/174419876 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1735/submission/174413565 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1735/submission/174411134 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1735/submission/174411370 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1735/submission/174411138

They use the same language, and the code is very similar, while some of the variable names are changed.

a,b,c,s=[[0]*10000,[0]*1001,[0]*1001,0]

well they're definitely identical, even judging from this alone. why? while a lot of people do put a marginal part in their arrays to prevent an out-of-bounds error, how they do it is part of their codestyle. when adding a margin on a size $$$100000$$$ array, some do it as $$$101010$$$, others do it as $$$100005$$$, some even $$$2^{17}$$$. it really differs based on one's codestyle, and it can't be more identical than THIS.

Cheating is not interesting!I really don't know why they're proud of copying others' code to get Accepted.Cheaters,if you are really good at computer programming,write it by yourself!Who don't know how to copy and paste others' code on the Internet?

    I agree. People like to cheat because they want to see their rating go up, this is similar to chess, where people cheat just to gain rating. I can’t quite understand it, because rating is not as important as your coding skill.
