Interpreting Common Compiler Messages:
When you compile a program, you may encounter specific compiler messages. To aid your
understanding of these messages, please review the following explanations:
1. "Object Object":
This message is indicative of potential issues like:
- Incorrect input sequencing.
- Logic errors within the code.
- If you forget to add an exit option for programs within the switch case, this
message will appear
2. Internet Network Error:
This error occurs due to any issues with the internet connection
3. Execution Timeout:
This occurs when:
1. The program logic is flawed.
2. An infinite loop exists in the program.
3. Slow internet connectivity is present.
Test Auto Cut-Off time:
• The tests will get auto submitted after the cut-off time or if the duration of the test is
over. You will receive a prompt similar to the image below displaying the cut-off
time. Please make sure to submit your answer before the deadline.
• The same cut-off time will be displayed on the top right corner next to the “Submit
Test” tab during the test.
• After that set time, you will be shown the prompt message saying the Test will end
soon.
• Once the set auto-submit timer is exceeded, your test will be automatically submitted.
You will then see a submission prompt similar to the image below.

screen, your test will be automatically submitted.
4. Will my answers be saved if there is an Internet Issue?
Only the answers that you have compiled and submitted before the issue will be
retained. If you continue entering the code and encounter an internet issue, the code
will not be saved. You will see the following prompt message in such a situation:
5. How to resume the test which I accidentally moved out of?
To continue a test that you accidentally exited, you can do so after waiting for a

minute mark, you will receive a prompt message similar to the one below. Please
wait for one minute before trying to resume the test.
You can resume the test after clicking the Resume Test button.
6. What will happen if the internet connection is lost?
When the internet connection is lost, you cannot compile and run the code, and the
code which you are typing won’t be saved if there is no active internet connection.
And you will be notified with the internet connection prompt like the below image.
7. How to check whether the answered questions are saved in the server?
If you wish to verify the questions that have been saved on the server, you can find
them on the right side of the test-taking window under the "Saved in server"
section. As shown in the image below, only one question has been saved which was
answered.
If you experience an internet connection problem, then there might be a difference
in the “Answered” count and “Saved in server” count. Please be patient and wait
until the connection is restored and the count gets synchronized.
