3D surface area - week of code 35

Nov. 20, 2017

Introduction

It is the first medium level algorithm in the week of code 35. The end time was 11 PM pacific time, I could not make it. Around 11:10 pm, only 10 minutes later, I submitted the code with a bug fix to pass a few test case. I enjoyed the problem solving, and will look into how to find the simple approach, less time consuming.

Code submission after the contest

Here is the C# code submitted after the contest, just 10 minutes after the deadline. Julia spent over  2 hours to work on the algorithm. The code passed 11 test cases, failed 14 test case, score 7.8 out of 19.
