Hey there!
I've tried everything to solve my problem but for the life of me, I can't do it by myself.
My project doesn't have any errors when i try to compile it. It gives the outputs I expected but when I try to submit it to the submission system of my university, the project doesn't pass in most of the tests.
I can't figure out where or what the error is.
Any suggestions?
I suggest you ask the people responsible for the submission system.
The problem isn't in the submission system itself.
The system runs around 20 tests (I don't have access to them) over my project and if it passes in all of them, then it's accepted.
I thought I might have an error somewhere but the thing is that my teacher gave us some examples of tests and when I run them, the output I get is exactly the same one my teacher provided.
I'm really running out of ideas..
Sounds like you'd better talk to your teacher.
I talked to him and he suggested I should try and run it in another machine. And I did. And I still get the same thing.
If the outputs are exactly the same then the problem isn't in the code, right?
There are plenty of things that could be wrong with outputs - formatting, for example, could cause problems if the tests are looking for a specific format and your output has spaces where there should be tabs, or some silly little detail like that. If you are getting the right output but it is not being accepted, you might want to take a careful look at your formatting.
Otherwise, just talk to your teacher. We don't know anything at all about your project, so we really can't help you. If you want useful help instead of random guessing, post your code and details of what it is supposed to do.

If you didn't compile with warnings turned on, you could try that.
Okay. Thank you.
Yeah..I know it's hard when you're not familiar with the project.
I compiled it w/ warnings turned on..
You might be getting the right output, but it appears your program is doing something that the submissions system is programmed to reject.
Re-read your assignment with a clear mind, and forget this "there's nothing wrong with my program" idea -- of course that's the human way to think, but there is OBVIOUSLY *SOMETHING* wrong with your program.
Adopt that attitude, and go hunting!!
