by which miracle the same input "8 8" produce 2 different results ? No only no question, no sense too. Like that you have no chance at all to receive help because it is impossible to do, edit your question — bruno, Apr 23 '20 at 08:04
This que is asked by our faculty in institute.I am beginner couldn't figure out.I don't even know it is posible or not. — Sudarshan Bhamare, Apr 23 '20 at 08:06
Yes, it's possible that one program produces the first two outputs and another program produces the third output. It's not possible that one program produces different output for exactly the same input. — Thomas Sablik, Apr 23 '20 at 08:08
@SudarshanBhamare "rows = 6, columns = 20;" : this is not an input, this is code. "n>0" which 'n' ? "image" your photo ? etc — bruno, Apr 23 '20 at 08:09
@SudarshanBhamare you have to edit to put a clear description *and* to give your proposal of implementation — bruno, Apr 23 '20 at 08:10
I appreciate your effort. I will confirm to faculty. It is asked in Hackerrank Challege .My two test cases passed but third failed.Thank You anyway. — Sudarshan Bhamare, Apr 23 '20 at 08:16
At a first look I wouldn't use a switch. I don't see how a switch could help here. — Thomas Sablik, Apr 23 '20 at 09:09
You could write a code that prints output 0 if `columns != rows` and output 2 if `columns == rows`. How do want to distinguish input 1 and input 2? — Thomas Sablik, Apr 23 '20 at 09:32
please see the image attached you will find out the diff in all inputs. — Sudarshan Bhamare, Apr 23 '20 at 12:24
