for contests which are old and some even new contests, why dont the editorialists attach code to solve with the solution? Is it very hard to write code after solution or do they don't code the solution themselves. Dont tell me to look at standings for code. I want to ask why the author could'nt include his approach code with the solution. Very hard when reading the editorial need to check the code for verification but can't see it attatched. Then have to go through tens of submissions to find one which matches the editorial solution steps and makes sense and is legible.

Make it mandatory for all editorials if it isn't till now. ok bye.

As far as I know, authors are not strictly required to produce readable code as part of the tutorial.
Though, on a number of levels, it's a Good Thing when the authors have such code and share it.

    yes, they should make it mandatory. otherwise these authors are just thinking of problems in the air or what? doesn't make any sense to me how they think of problem and dont even code it. For example this question: 877E - Danil and a Part-time Job editorial is so noob-unfriendly.

      Preparing a problem means, among other things, coding not one solution but several. This part is mandatory :) .
