  • ## Outsourcing the answer to unofficial conditions
  • An example would be a program to print the Fibonacci numbers: instead of actually printing them, it queries an API and gives back its output. Another example would be a program that executes a program in another file instead of computing the Fibonacci numbers itself.
  • Of course this is allowed if the challenge specifically permits it or if it could not function without it (e.g. Googling "google" and bringing the results back).

## Outsourcing the answer to unofficial conditions

An example would be a program to print the Fibonacci numbers: instead of actually printing them, it queries an API and gives back its output. Another example would be a program that executes a program in another file instead of computing the Fibonacci numbers itself.

Of course this is allowed if the challenge specifically permits it or if it could not function without it (e.g. Googling "google" and bringing the results back).
