Question about the task

Under discussion

A condition of the task is:- If the list is not ordered by increasing string length, then display the index of the first element that violates this order. The list is:- grandfather grandmother father mother son daughter cats dog program car My code displayed index 1 (Grandmother) as it is the first that does not increase (both grandfather and grandmother are length 11). The CodeGym displayed 2 (father). Of course, I think I'm right and CodeGym is wrong😄 but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise if I'm wrong????????

useful

Take an example: index 0 = 11; index 1 = 11; index 2 = 14; index 3 = 14; index 4 = 15; How is it possible to sort the above elements in ascending order? Exactly as shown above. If there are two identical elements, they must be next to each other, and that does not violate the principle of ascending order. In the list below, index 3 is the first one that violates the principle of ascending order: index 0 = 5; index 1 = 5; index 2 = 7; index 3 = 6;

Thanks Gellert for your feedback. I agree with your interpretation. It just goes to show, the easy(er) bit is the syntax the real challenge is the semantics.

There are some tasks where it is very difficult to understand what the task requires of us...
