I SWEAR THIS JUST HAPPENED:

My Teacher: *Sends a random programming question to solve on the class group*

Fellow Classmate: *sends solution within a minute*

My Teacher: Good, but everybody knows how to use the internet only a few know how to use the brain. We now know which category you belong to.

    What was the question? Can it be solved within a minute?

    I'd reply "You seem to belong to that same category then. Next time send us an original question."

    @YouAreAPIRate No. It would atleast require 15 minutes of coding and debugging, I think. But then again, it would depend from an individual to another.

    This was the question:
    Given a balanced Binary Search Tree and a target sum, write a function that returns true if there is a pair with sum equals to target sum otherwise return false. Any modification to Binary Search Tree is not allowed.

    @filthyranter Haha :P

    Sounds like your classmate is a legit coder.

    ...or had written something like that before and only needed to tweak it.

    Seems pretty standard question. probably he solved it previously

    This tells me your teacher has never worked in an actual company as a developer. Even if he did google it, he used his brain to think of using google didn't he? That's being resourceful, and it got results quickly.

    If your teacher were smart, he'd add to his instructions to not use the internet to find the solution, not put down his students as an excuse for his shortcomings.

    I want to punch your teacher for being bad at his job.

    Sometimes random errors get you so bugged that even Google doesn't have the answers

    @KyrePh no, that's just simply not true, it's a given that in school if you're set a task you do it yourself, otherwise it is the definition of plagiarism since he didn't say he copied it

    And you want to punch the teacher? That's ridiculous

    I like how people are "debugging" the situation while the only thing i can think of is "buuurrrnnn"

    @KyrePh what @j4cobgarby said.

    @Condor Yes. He copied the entire solution from Geeks for Geeks' website. Just checked.

    @thevariableman me too xD Hence the rant :P

    @Condor Yup and since we are still in a phase where we need to concentrate on building our skills, I don't think copying the code should even be considered as an option.

    @SheShell would be too easy

    @andros705 yes you could ask him to document his reply, is he copy pasted he is screwd :)
  • 5
    @andros705 @grubbering yes but in under a minute? And with all the variable names and the function name same as that of the solution on the internet? That's only possible in two cases:
    1) He has crammed up the code by heart.
    2) He tweaked it from somewhere.

    Also, he did not respond to the teachers' message defending himself which probably means he did copy, but there might be other reasons of him not responding as well. So, who knows 😬

    @andros705 How many solutions are there to this problem? Try x86 Assembly, there's a thousand ways to do it in that language 😂
