[Question][Hw1] failing of substitution crack? #237

Closed ComeToMiCasa closed 1 year ago

What does failing substitution crack mean? For example, the similarity of the cracked cipher and original text is below k (0 <= k <= 1) etc. My crack is identical to the example in the README but I still fail the crack testcase.

Answer of #236 indicates that failing vigenere crack test means that at least one of your answer got zero point. I'm not sure, but substitution crack might have a same pass/fail decision.

@ICubE- is right. substitution crack have the same pass/fail check.

There are hidden test cases for corner case, and memory/time limits. Your implementation can fail on hiden tests even though it works well with the given examples.
