There were certain issues during the contest. We sincerely apologise for that.

Quite often, as a competitive programmer, I feel irritated when an easy problem yields WA because of a teeny-tiny bug like a typo or a missing initialisation. It often costs a lot of precious time and several penalties.

For this problem, I've designed a small, simple, easy-to-use GUI application in Java which takes two source codes and tests them against a common input. The respective outputs obtained are then compared line by line for a mismatch. One can compare the 'buggy' code with a brute force solution to obtain a test case in which the faulty solution fails.
