Output Specification

  • If the input line does not contain any happy or sad emoticons, output none.
  • Otherwise, if the input line contains an equal number of happy and sad emoticons, output unsure.
  • Otherwise, if the input line contains more happy than sad emoticons, output happy.
  • Otherwise, if the input line contains more sad than happy emoticons, output sad.

    I just spend 20 minutes trying to find any small error in my code despite this being a low difficulty question just to find that I wrote an output as "unhappy" instead of "sad"... fml :-(

    Why am I getting RTE (write syscall disallowed) on the first test case? Edit: Never mind, figured it out

    We often include emoticons in our text messages to indicate how we are feeling. The three con­ secutive characters :-) indicate a happy face and the three consecutive characters :-( indicate a sad face. Write a program to determine the overall mood of a message.

    "Consecutive" in the first line is misspelled as "con secutive"

      This will not happen.
