What people are saying
single test case out
Rather, I wanted to improve my coding skills in Python but found the assignments frustrating in two ways: (1) same execution time limit is imposed whether you submit your code in C++, Java, or Python -- the instructors admit some of the problems are not doable in Python due to this limit, and (2) your code is graded all-or-nothing basis, that is, if you miss a single test case out of dozens, you get zero point.

These are simply how grading is done and should hopefully be made more friendly to learners (especially Python users).
