unfortunately we'll probably need to see the rest of the code

kk one sec

[abstract nest]

also what kind of data structure is this supposed to be?

[woeful ledge]

need anything else?

[abstract nest]

no, i might leave it for someone else; im a bit busy atm

What does your program do?

I can't understand this instruction

It looks not complete. Seems like only a segment of the instruction

[dawn nova]

The instruction is still not complete

[dawn nova]

I can't spot the problem, but I think it might be helpful to change your MINIMUM_SIZE to 2 and hopefully this will make your debugging easier.

Why do you do this?
int middle = (l2.numUsed + 1) / 2;

l2.numUsed = 4
middle = (l2.numUsed + 1) / 2
middle = (4 + 1)/2

[dawn nova]

Why do you do (4+1)/2 instead of 4/2?

What's the point to plus one?

[dawn nova]

wait

can you actually see the test code?

😂

Set break point while running the failed test case to see what exactly is happening

• And you can check, in your failed test cases, what the l1NumUsed is supposed to be.
• test5 should be 8 and test12 should be 32 I guess

When you split L2Array, Should you keep the original length in both old and new array? You never shrink your L2Array. Are you supposed to shrink it under some circumstances?

You didn't grow your level 2 array neither

Using your current code, all of your level 2 array are always of size 4. Never grow to 8.

I don't know. The instruction should have mentioned it

But one thing I noticed is: In this figure, L2 array can be of size 8 and size 4, but your code just keeps everyone stay at size 4 forever
