You must follow this submission folder structure so our automated test process can process your scoring:

• Create a folder with “code” as the folder name then zip.
• Inside the “code” folder, there needs to be a file named Dockerfile. This is the docker file used to build the user’s submission. Refer to the provided Docker file in Sample Submission for each level.
• Zip that “code” folder and submit to the challenge.

Submission folder structure example:
