Hello Pablo and Paul, thank you for your answers!
Your answer totally makes sense Pablo. Looking at the problem having read what you just said, It's obvious, that the code is first ran against the sample input that is stated in the question and then against the test sets by increasing order. My understanding (from 2 Google kickstarts and this Google code jam) was that there are samples provided for convenience of not having to write them yourself and also visualization of what the input will look like. You can copy these into the test mode if you like to do that. Either way if you choose to test or not, on submission the code is ran against test set 1, test set 2 an so forth but NOT on the sample. Thus my confusion when it said samples passed, runtime error. I read it as: All samples (cases) from test set 1 were passed to the code successfully however the code still broke before finishing. That's why I thought my problem must have been the code not terminating correctly after it ran the last sample (case). I don't think you could make this anymore obvious though, I simply didn't get it I couldn't just let it go and luckily was able to solve the problem in my code when I tried again a couple of days later. Thanks for your kind offer though Paul! Best, Nic Paul Smith schrieb am Mittwoch, 7.
