Where can I get help with questions I have about the Automata assessment?

1. If you're getting a Runtime error or a Timed out error while compiling code:
Please ensure that there is no infinite loop in your code, as this may lead to error while compiling the code.
For each question, there are few visible as well as hidden (edge test cases) test cases. We ask you to review your code and questions once and compile again after modifying your code.

If you still feel that there is an issue or have additional questions, then please contact us by using the Contact Form widget on the right side of this page. Please share your complete query along with your test URL, Amcat ID and registered email ID. We will get this checked with the concerned team and get back to you.

2. If you're getting an error even after writing correct code:
For each question, there are few visible as well as hidden (edge test cases) test cases. We ask you to please review your code and questions once and compile your code after modifying it. If you still feel that there is an issue or have additional questions, then please contact us by using the Contact Form widget on the right side of this page.
Please share your complete query along with your test URL , Amcat ID and registered email ID. We will get this checked with the concerned team and will get back to you.
 
3. If you're getting no error while compiling the code on Local IDE but you are getting a compiler error while compiling code on platform:
For each question, there are few visible as well as hidden (edge test cases) test cases. There might be a possibility that IDE which you are using is unable to detect edge test cases, due to which you are getting no error on local IDE but on our platform, you are getting error while compiling code. We ask you to please review the problem carefully and modify your code accordingly.
If you still feel that there is an issue or have additional questions, then please contact us by using the Contact Form widget on the right side of this page. Please share your complete query along with your test URL , Amcat ID, and registered email ID. We will get this checked with the concerned team and get back to you.

4. If you're trying to execute your own test cases or try to print something on platform which is not required for the problem in the test:
You will be unable to test your own test cases on platform. We ask you to kindly write code as a solution to the problem statement only.
If you still feel that there is an issue or have additional questions, then please contact us by using the Contact Form widget on the right side of this page. Please share your complete query along with your test URL , Amcat ID and registered email ID. We will get this checked with the concerned team and get back to you.
 
5. Can I use predefined functions of the specific language and framework to complete the exam?
Pre-defined functions from the standard libraries can be used in the coding assessment. However, we recommend you to not to use a particular function or library than that what is mentioned in the instructions or the usage of library will be blocked by the platform, i.e. if you try to access such a library, the compiler will produce an error.

6. If you're trying to print your own Input (For example, if you are trying to print Hello, hello world , Hi, etc):
You are not allowed to take input explicitly in the code. In the test, you are not required to take input, as the data to be worked is passed to the function.

7. If you're trying to Test your own test Cases:
You will be unable to test your own test cases on platform. We ask you to only write code as a solution to the problem statement.
If you still feel that there is an issue or have additional questions, then please contact us by using the Contact Form widget on the right side of this page. Please share your complete query along with your test URL , Amcat ID, and registered email ID. We will get this checked with the concerned team and get back to you.

8. I have modified the code or language after compiling the code, will my previous compiled code be considered or not?
We would like to inform you that only your latest response will be considered, as all the previous responses will get deleted after once you modify the language or code.
