Bad challenges - so annoying!!

There is so many challenges out there (especially in c++) which the answers to is just incorrect. for example, they ask if a code is valid while the main function should return int and the return statement isn't even written there. Please Sololearn - you are great, but review the challenges better please!!! (I literally almost broke my phone raging on the fifth time)

In java challenges, there are some really triggering questions. Why would ever do "String s = new String("g")" or "Integer i = new Integer(4)", you just do not do that.

"depends on the compiler" This is only true if you're using a compiler that doesn't follow the specs. Otherwise, it is always a given that a main function without a return statement returns 0: http://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq2.html

Speaking of Java challenges I also thought many answers were wrong. Later I found out that I was wrong, some of them are really tricky

@merkrafter - depends on the compiler. you know what - wonderful. There is a question in the challenges which ask if a code is valid to and the return value doesnt exist there and the answer is not valid. (f-word) choose which way to go...

@Martin - hahaha in c++ I had a question which was so not trivial to understand something like the output of string("abc" "ghd")

9) Create a program that prompts the user for two start and end numbers and shows on the screen a countdown Number entered for the beginning and scroll to the number entered as end. Someone resolves this one for me.

(In C++ you don't necessarily need a return statement in the main function. If you don't write one, the compiler adds it automatically.)
