Passing the code in HackerRank?

In Hackerrank for one program, they have many subprograms. That is when you write a program it may not belong to only one program. The main program and the subprogram are of the same kind but the output differs. So directly giving the input in the program may not give you an expected output. So it lets you think about it in various ways. When you complete your program you have to run the code. When all the subprograms get an expected output you have to submit the code. Then you are offered points. Then you can directly skip to the next program. The subprograms may not be visible to you but the expected outputs of the subprograms may be visible to you by deducting 5 points from the program points.
