Is it just me, or do some of the code challenges not function properly. Does workspace memory need reinitializing ?

I occassionally receive "Bummer" answers to certain code challenges. Only to discover I was correct in my original answer.

Do the workspace environments used in code challenges sometimes hold false memory values that need to be cleared or re-initialized?

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Thanks,

that happens to me sometimes. refreshing the challenge usually fixes it. although more often than not what I think is correct and what the code challenge thinks is correct are two different things. The challenge engines is very picky, so a lot of times I have something in there it doesnt like so I get a bummer

Thanks for the quick reply...

This last time the challenge wouldn't recognize an arrays index of [ 1 ] .i.e the second value. It wasn't until I actually set the index to [ 2 ] recheck the answer, then set the index back to [ 1 ] that it finally accepted it. I agree that what might otherwise be acceptable to Xcode doesn't alway hold true with the challenge engine.

Thanks again,

Kevin
