I’m stuck on Stage #TZ7.
I’ve tried .. :
IDK what even to try. I have no idea what to do now.
The story is,
In the third test, we have the following contents in the test file:
() #<|TAB|>{}
@
$
+++
// Let’s Go!
+++
so when my Scanner() function consumes the ‘/’, it sees weather the next charecter is also ‘/’. If so, it will consider the whole line as a comment. Now it will call the skip_to_next_line() function.
That function will skip until the ‘\n’ charecter. Since my scanner will need to detect the ‘\n’ so that it can update the line counter, I have kept the skip_to_next_line() function like that.
But then since I did not design the skip_to_next_line() properly, I would skip the ‘\n’ and the line counter would count the lines incorrectly.
The wrong code is here:
int skip_to_next_line(int file_iterator,char* file_contents)
{
//file_iterator points to the current charecter scanned by scanner()
//file_contents will contain the actual data from the file that we are scaning.
//thus we get the current element by file_contents[file_iterator]
while(file_contents[file_iterator] != '\n' && file_contents[file_iterator] != '\0');
{
file_iterator += 1;
}
//file_iterator += 1;
return file_iterator;
}
here the file_iterator will point to the charecter in the line next to the comment, skipping the ‘\n’. Thus I was unable to pass the 3rd test.
Now, I have changed the code. Nothing big. Just the return statement.
From this:
return file_iterator
to:
return file_iterator - 1;
Now I am struck here. The program is being timed out. What abomination have I unleashed?!?
I dont know if explaining my code flow will be usefull, but I am doing it.
→ The program starts with main() where the read_file_contents() is called first.
→ read_file_contents() will read the file contents, return the contents as a array named as file_contents. Until now , the functions I have mentioned are written in default, not by me
→ Now I call the Scanner() from the main. This is where my code starts. Scanner will iterate through the file_contents array, identify elements then do whatever is supposed to be done.
→ if a comment is identified, skip_to_next_line() function is called.
Here are my logs:
