About "when" - I dare to suppose that generator is useful when you think than necessary test-case would be too big or complicated to write it manually.

    No. You should write a generator!

    This is the generator I wrote yesterday (for the problem B of div.2): http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zNjfMadf

    When you have the generator, you click "Hack!" and then you upload the file. The system runs your program that must generate a valid input (don't forget newline at the end). The output you have written to stdout will be redirected to defender's stdin.

    You can write it, on what you want, but when you send, it must compile in codeforces and output correct test.
