I was just going through random solutions for task A (to observe different approaches), and then I came over this Submission . Doesn't it seems that this guy mahimahans111 cheated. And to prevent plagiarism, he typed unnecessary while loops. His submission for task B suggests the same.

It may be possible that this is his default boilerplate and he might use it in all submissions, but 2 different submissions for B proved this wrong.
