2. You are free to choose any language to do the challenge in, but here are our preferences -

   • Our preferential languages to use in the challenge are: Objective-C, Python, Javascript, Erlang, and Swift. 

   • Other languages frequently used for webdev are also impressive to use to use for the challenge: Ruby, Clojure, Go, Perl (to some degree), C/C++ (to some degree).

   • The languages least relevant to drchrono are: C#, VB.NET, Java

3. If the code area contains the function signature, just complete the function alone, we'll take care of the main function, headers, etc

4. If you're expected to write the full code, it'd be mentioned in the code area. All inputs are from STDIN and output to STDOUT. If you're using Java, use the classname as 'Solution'

5. To understand more about the environment, time limits, etc. you can read the FAQ here

6. You can print to console to debug your code using the appropriate print command for each language (Eg: cout for C++, printf for C, etc.)
