Your solution is the same with mine, from the alogrithm view.
Your code style is MATLAB style, while my solution is C/ C++ style.

Binbin Qi on 24 Oct 2018

Yes, I saw your solution and change it to vector style.

Your solution is the same with mine, even the variable names.
Why?
Are you cheating?

li haitao on 24 Oct 2018

I know, you just copy my solution in "Problem 44747. Exponents in Factorials".

Binbin Qi on 24 Oct 2018

@li haitao, it doesn't matter. It is hard to say James copy your solution. It is possible two codes are same in cody. Even copy, please don't mind. I also copy other's code to solve cody problem.

@Binbin Qi,
I don't mind, I just curious in the beginning.
A few minutes later, I know the reason, but I can not delete the comments, may be there are some bugs in cody sites.

@li haitao, there is a button named Delete which is bule in southeast of the comment box.
