error CS0305: Using the generic type 'List' requires 1 type arguments.
whats wrong? in visual studio work but here not

Hi @bejaminzwhite. Thank you verymuch for yout hint!, it works, I could find the right solution. I have so little coding experience, so I was much focused on loops, packages,functions etc, but having the diagram on a piece of paper came many other ideas. I now know that many solutions of coding problems are actually not hidden behind a complex code, just as you say, it is like solving problems in real world. Great hint, Thanks

Hi @ChichoZeDo - if you'd like a little hint: forget about coding/modules/packages/loops/etc. for now, and just think about how you could solve this problem in the real world - maybe if the board were printed on a piece of paper for example.

Thanks! Approved, and noted for the change in description.

There is a way to nest 2 loops to get it ro pass. There is a clue in the 40000 N test case set description.

maybe dont use loops at all - i tried to do it with one loop and it timed out

Why couldn't you?

can we use numpy?

i got it, thanks a lot. Now im tryna solve problem with time out :)

LC translation

This translation changes the description ( LC needs some extra information ).

Hi Akar-0, thank you for your advise. I have just little expirience in coding and so far I only found the solutions by using nested loops, but allof them are time out, could you share a hint?

ìtertools.product does fundamentally the same as a nested loop. This won't work.

Hi There!, I found a solution for this Kata using "product" from itertools package but it is also time out, please help!

Hi @semki - the tests are designed to time out nested loops.

You've made good progress - you've found a correct way to add up the areas. Now ask yourself, how can you improve it? Do you really need to perform ALL the calculations in your nested loops? Hopefully this will help you find an even better solution.
