A generator is a program that produces test data and expected results for a challenge. Each time a solution is checked, the generator runs fresh - producing unique, unpredictable input.

Custom generators let you challenge other participants' solutions with your own test cases. If someone's solution fails on your generator's input, it exposes weaknesses in their approach. Writing good generators requires deep understanding of the problem - you need to craft edge cases, stress tests, and tricky inputs that push solutions to their limits.
