   • Critical to a question because it tells candidates what their tasks are
     
     
2. Solution and test cases
   • Contains the solution to the problem, which includes sample input, sample output, and test cases
   • Critical to a question because a candidate's code is evaluated against the solution
     
     
3. Code snippets
   • Add starter code in 38+ languages
   • Allows candidates to focus on writing the logic required to solve the problem
     
     Tip: Use our auto code snippet generator to generate code snippets in C, C++, C++14, C++17, C#, Java, Java 8, JavaScript (Node.js), PHP, Python, Python 3, Python 3.8, Ruby.
