I think SPOJ should enable viewing all solutions for a submitted problem for those users who have already solved that problem,
so that they can learn more by viewing solution of top coders.I know this would be inappropriate for CHALLENGE problems where execution time is related to score achieved for that problem, but still solution viewing can be enabled at least in CLASSICAL problems.

Correct me if I am wrong smile

Strongly against for series of reasons. For example, some solution contain a library set of functions/classes that I don't want to share with everyone solving some random problem. Second is that looking for various solutions to a particular problem is a part of the analysis. Why should a person who barely solved the problem have access to highly optimized solutions? For many tasks you can solve a problem in 15 min and then spend days optimizing that solution in various ways. If you want to learn, you can see the resource information on the problem and google out many sites, some of witch have sample solutions or even elaborate analysis.

Moderators and problem setters have access to submitted codes, because it would be hard to moderate without that. What you're proposing would pretty much break the system. I strongly doubt that this will be added, but in my case I would remove all my submission and move to another judge and probably many other top users would do the same.

No, for the same reason. If you need help with a problem please feel free to post about it in the ProblemSet Archve section of the forum.

PS: Forum moderators don't have access to submitted code. smile

I think that, once I solve a problem, I should be given the option to view the other solutions (submitted by others) provided I agree that any solution I submit hence forth will not be eligible for improving ranks. Also, this will only happen if the coder allows his code to be viewed by others.

Are you really serious?

First Point => If you are using some function or classes then what’s wrong to share. Education is only the thing that it will increase if you will share. We are here to learn new things. And I can bet you can not the be only person to solve it in most efficient way. Someone can optimize your code more.

Second Point => A person should have access to highly optimized solutions because he is willing to learn new techniques. One can not be pro in anything from first day.

And one question for you is administrator of other top coding platforms (Codechef and Codeforces ) are fool who allows to see others solution?
And almost all the top coders are using these platforms.

Very sick mentality, please don’t use community resources please I don’ t want you to access these Voptimized resources who haven’t done an iota to contribute to them.
