Download the full tests?
Автор fiver, 13 лет назад, По-английски

Does anyone know how can I download the full test cases for a particular problem? And if this is not possible, WHY is it not possible? Is that intentional?

One of my problems failed today and I wanted to debug it, but the test case is truncated because it's too long.

Thanks, Petar

It is not possible. And, in my opinion, is is useless. I really do not understand how are you going to debug large test.

    Not exactly...

    There can be several reasons:

    1. If it is time limit, you can see how off you are and try different optimizations.
    2. There are cases where the system errors, so this way you can check — during the last contest a correct solution of mine was judged as incorrect. I messaged Mike and it got fixed (although, he didn't reply to me, so I don't know for sure).
    3. If it is a runtime error, it is pretty easy to debug — just see where the error is. This last contest I got a runtime error on 23th test case... (So I actually suspect that the solution is in fact correct and the judge was wrong again, but I have no way to check that).

    Here is the reference: http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/155/submission/1225347 Can you point the error to me?

      bool[] on = new bool[10001];

      There are 100000 colliders.

      I met the same situation with you T_T.

      In case you get runtime error, you can generate some large testcases to check, I usually find my bug when I get runtime error by this way.

      And when I get WA and I don't know what's wrong in my algorithm, I copy a code of a accepted sol, generate testcase s and check =.= .

      Not viewing the full tests certainly gives some disadvantages for practicing, but I think codeforces team has their own reason :)

        I just don't get it... Maybe I am not smart enough, but what can possibly be a reason for not exposing the full tests?

I think codeforces is human enough,for it can make short tests public.Some websites which are similar to codeforces don't promulgate any tests.

If problem is time limit you can create mashup contest which consists that problem and set time limit huge to see how fast your code.

You can get input size of few hundreds by printing the input as output in parts.
