I know, it has been a long time since the results were submitted but here is the official thread announcing the winner!

Congratulations Amrosama for winning Coder Battle #2!

The reason
After mod/admin voting and testing it became apparent that Amrosama's code (using C#) sorted all input correctly while we were able to trick Outsid3r's code (using C++) into producing false results.

I've attached both code examples here and we will shortly be releasing Coder Battle #3.

Thank you and congratulations to both Ousid3r and Amrosama!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

im sure outsider would have done better if he had more time
thnx egzon
i wanna see more people competing in the next contest

yo homie i heard you like one-line codes so i put a one line code that evals a decrypted one line code that prints "i love one line codes"

eval(base64_decode("cHJpbnQgJ2kgbG92ZSBvbmUtbGluZSBjb2Rlcyc7"));

There was no error outsid3r, it did not sort data correctly in some instances.

Using this CSV file:

20,"ABCDefg",1
20,"abcdEFG",1
1,"NUMBER1",20
1,"nuMber1",20
1,"NUMBER1",21
2,"NUMBER1",20
40,"last element",1
39,"SECond",1
14,"MIDdle",500
14,"middle",500
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",1
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",2
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",10
16,"A10",1
16,"10",1
16,"B10",1
16,"10B",1
16,"a10",1
17,"1111111111",6
17,"1222222222",6

Your code truncates one item in append mode and notice the first item is incorrect. 1,"NUMBER1",20 should be first rather than 1,"NUMBER1",21.

1,"NUMBER1",21
1,"NUMBER1",20
1,"nuMber1",20
2,"NUMBER1",20
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",10
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",2
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",1
14,"MIDdle",500
14,"middle",500
16,"10",1
16,"A10",1
16,"10B",1
16,"B10",1
16,"a10",1
17,"1111111111",6
17,"1222222222",6
20,"ABCDefg",1
20,"abcdEFG",1
39,"SECond",1
40,"last element",1

It should be

1,"NUMBER1",20
1,"NUMBER1",21
1,"nuMber1",20
2,"NUMBER1",20
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",1
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",2
12,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",10
14,"MIDdle",500
14,"middle",500
16,"10",1
16,"10B",1
16,"A10",1
16,"B10",1
16,"a10",1
17,"1111111111",6
17,"1222222222",6
20,"ABCDefg",1
20,"abcdEFG",1
39,"SECond",1
40,"last element",1

yea you're right, since the other modes worked correctly i probably didn't check append mode.

Probably just because you were rushed and made a change right at the end. Will you compete in the next battle?

I did this program very quickly, in the same day that you have anunciated this contest. Later, in the last day of the contest i was reading about sorting algorithms in wikipedia then i realised that there were more efficient sorting algorithms (previously i almost didn't have any knowledge about sorting, i just used an sorting algorithm that i learned long time ago then i was programming in python, i didn't even knew his name, it was bubble sort), so i just switched to selection sort which is much more faster than bubble sort, that was the only last hour change, previously i didn't have seen the append bug.
And of course that i will compete in the next battle :P, probably i will do again a command line program but i will check carefully all steps before i send you the program. btw do you prefer a program with GUI ?
