Why people make and post codes that deliver wrong results?

Question

I've been following A Snail's Journey https://www.sololearn.com/learn/5364/ and realize that almost half of the answers there are wrong. And I'm not talking about the restrictions, people use the wrong formula over and over again (H/(A-B)), leading to wrong output. Apparently there is no care with correctness. Can you try to explain this mass phenomena?

Answer 1

it is called programming, you must be creative, even it is wrong, but not giving any bug or error

Answer 2

At least.... they are trying and.....it is all that counts....

Answer 3

Hi! In my case - as you pointed out, the formula was initially wrong. I posted my attempt since I just wanted to get a first attempt and then was planning to go back to correct it later.
But yeah you are right, should have probably put in more effort before submitting..
I guess if it was for work/ school I would never have submitted something “half-done”
But yeah thanks for looking - now I am more careful about posting something that is “not complete”

Answer 4

@Word Fisher thanks for the sincere answer. In the case I post something not finished I simply put a sing like "Work in progress".

Answer 5

@Edward thanks for the tip! I will be sure to use that in the future :)

Answer 6

Thanks for the answers. This means that in your point of view correctness is not important, only the effort that counts. Also the inability to test your own code and check if it is working properly as well as the lack of curiosity to make your self aware of a problem by researching a bit has no meaning, right?
It is interesting, in the industry it is exactly the opposite, only the correct end result that counts, regardless of effort (the lower the better, so you can produce more in the same time). It is called efficiency and effectiveness.
Just for my understanding, how old are you? Or in what phase of your life are you (school, college, grad, working for 20 years, retired, dead, etc)?
