What does 'wrong answer' mean?

When your program results in a wrong answer, it means that your program ran successfully but resulted in an incorrect answer.

This could be because of one of the following reasons:

• Your program contains a bug
• You are not interpreting the problem correctly
• Your program does not pass the sample input and output cases

Note: A piece of code can be evaluated against multiple input and output cases. Therefore, your code can result in a wrong answer even if it has passed the sample input cases correctly.
