Changing programming languagec (possible bug)
Back to General discussions forum
Hello, it's me again! (I feel a bit like a spammer for having 4 posts in a row)
I was reading the translations for tasks you just posted (thank you for adding them!) and I remembered there is an option to complete task that you already solved. I checked my very first solution Sum A+B and I quite didn't like it. No tabbing and inputs statically defined. (It was like 5th task where I realized that manual insertion of input is not really good idea)
I wanted to post solution in ezoteric programming language (I prefer this name, I am sure you know what I am talking about) so I did it. When I tried to change language in viewing solution it worked, but unfortunately, that was the only thing that changed. The source code for task remained the same but this time, with wrong language selected. So my question is:
Is there a way to change the saved solution?
I am not really sure how this change language option should work
but currently it doesn't seem (at least to me) to be working.
I also made (in MS paint) a picture quick review what happend.
Hello, Radovan!
I think one should post spam to be called spammer :)
I'm a bit puzzled as I couldn't at once remember the functionality you mean. And also not sure I understood your intention right. Thanks for the picture!
Well, it works, I think, just as you described. It changes language tag, but it won't rewrite the code for you.
It probably is somewhat misguiding - but this feature was added for cases when user submits the solution and its
code is auto-detected incorrectly (e.g. as C# while it is in Python) - so that "language tag" could be corrected.
But it won't convert the solution :)
P.S. Yes, I'm the same Rodion still :) Sorry for delay with applying the translations - I was participating today in some event, "homeless cats fair" - where visitors are proposed to take some pets from participating animal shelters or at least buy some souvenirs for donations... It took time, but I hope to complete soon :)
Hello Rodion! :)
(maybe you should consider changing this "admin" name)
I didn't know that this feature was made for this purpose. I will keep in mind that this thing with pictures is working, thanks for valuable experience! :D
There is no need to be sorry because I don't think that tere was any delay at all and it is nice to see that people still care about poor animals.
Thanks for your reply!
