<@&987246399047479336> please have a look, thanks.

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

@rigid skiff which part doesn't make sense?

[rigid skiff]

it's logic i don't understand

[main marlin]

@rigid skiff u need to check that when the item is divided, half one is the same as half 2

just have to look out for the integer, that's all

[brittle night]

Can u just send the link?

[rigid skiff]

can u solve it for me please???

Just think, Which property a number should have, to divide it into two even numbers!

[main marlin]

might i assume u did not read the server info :p

[brittle night]

That property is the answer

[rigid skiff]

no

[brittle night]

He meant, this is a community for helping, not feeding 😄

[main marlin]

there is a no spoon feed rule, we can and will help u do it yourself, but u will learn nothing really by asking the solution

[brittle night]

If you are trying cp, why do you even want us to code feed, you need to know little details to even get decent...

This is an easy problem and if you are not able to solve it, try starting with leetcode first or easy Q on codechef

You can even try AcodeDaily to practice efficiently

[rigid skiff]

ok thanks

[brittle night]

Haha

If u really want, then only an even number can be divided into 2 even numbers 🙂

[main marlin]

ppst

-> 2 :p

[rigid skiff]

i have done it like this

[main marlin]

u lack a bracket, that's why intellij is underlining things

( at line 8 )

also, if u need to do exercises like this, copy paste the actual output.
Even if your code works, it will still fail as the output does not match

[brittle night]

Actually, I told you codeforces is not easy shit.. so think there is an edge case missing 😛

That you can guess, not hinting at anything

[rigid skiff]

In my college, most students use codeforces to practice

i try other platforms because codeforces is hard for me. i can't understand the question

[brittle night]

That you should use after getting some idea, how things work a little

[brittle night]

Try Codechef

I started from there

[rigid skiff]

i have done several codechef problems

[brittle night]

Did you think about the possible edge case?

[brittle night]

Don't u like it?

[rigid skiff]

i like codechef

cause it's logic i understand easily

[brittle night]

Then study from there, what's the problem?

[main marlin]

well site is indicating u passed the test so u can pass on next one 😉

[brittle night]

Wait what? That code works? @main marlin

[main marlin]

nah, someone just passed that test, now another one is starting it with a compilation failure

one of them 2 has to be OP :p

[brittle night]

There is no edge case for 2
As it is an even number and can't be divided into two

[brittle night]

Ohh lol, u are playing guess game

[main marlin]

no not really, click the status page 😉

[brittle night]

I don't wanna open it on my phone 🥲

[main marlin]

ah sec
