Inconsistent Testing Script in Basic Debugging Java #3179

(Link should work once #3172 is merged)

I'm not sure why we have a testing script specific to Java. For this section, the content should be the same across all three languages.

don't really see why a java-specific debugging script is bad here

  1. It's not an example of stress-testing multiple solutions against each other, which is what this section is about.
  2. It should be language-agnostic in the sense that if you want to test a C++ solution instead, you should only need to change a single line.
  3. It should be concise enough so that it's easy to type from scratch.

It's impossible for the scripts to be the same because there's no easy way to compile a java script to something executable. But this should be doable otherwise.

javac is a thing lol you do have to run it w/ java but yeah

IDON-TEXIST commented 8 months ago

Won't have time to do this for a bit, actually.

oh sure, work on it whenever you want
