Weird.. I had to add a special case to check if there was a white space at the end of each word and remove it as it was in the example input.

Misleading instructions should say "print every other character up until the middle of the sequence", not "print every 2nd character".

I am getting SIGSEGV error with my submission even though it runs perfectly with GCC and on ideone.com . Any help ?

Im getting NZEC with C# although my code working correctly. I've tried to change my main() type from void to int and end by returning 0, but it won't help. Any ideas?

my program always passes the 3 visible test cassses but fails at the hidden test case. How do i even find out where the problem fails if i can't see the place where it fails?

The third case is not accepted and in progress case another character is showing after po
2016-09-14 19:51:48
why the third case fails always ?even though expected and actul o/p match in their comparison o/p screen ?

1)Every Input String should not exceed length of 200
->we need to print 1st char of every string
->And every 2nd char till it reach half the length of word
2) in Given example
your -> its half is ->yo->so output is ->y
progress - > its half is ->prog->so output is ->po
is -> its half is->i->so output is->i (since we need to print 1st char)
noticeable-> its half is-> notic->so output is->ntc

Hey! @gvsharma see if your program still gives the correct answer if your first string has more than 4 strings, that was where i failed.
