In this problem, I have used a comparator function named "checking", for this, it is giving runtime error. But if i use another comparator function named "checking2" then it gets accepted. But these two comparator function is almost same. Why is it giving runtime error for "checking" function? please help.

TL;DR: Comparators must return false when comparing equal elements. Your function
checkingdoes this,checking2doesn't.
