Hi everyone,
I would like to invite everyone to participate in CodeGolf at HackeEarth. The contest will start on July 28,2017 at 9:00 pm IST.
CodeGolf is a competitive coding challenge for all the geeks out there, but what makes it different is, you have to code short to fetch more marks. Though what's priceless is solving interesting problems and the thrill of competition. To deal with it, you require a level patience and skill that escapes ordinary programmers.
We invite you to take up this opportunity to bring out the programmer in you. The right code with minimum characters is all thats required to win.Are you ready? :)
Rules
Problems and Duration
- There will be 5 algorithmic problems.
- Contest will be for 3 hours.
Scoring
- Though you have to pass all the test cases, you will be scored on the basis of the length of your source code. (Thats the twist)
- Lesser the number of characters used, higher will be your rank on the leaderboard :D
- Maximum Scoring : 50 — 100 — 150 — 200 — 250
Problems setting and testing is done by sahilarora.535, Abhishek Sharma, Abhishek Pal, enitihas, Aksh Gautam.
Prize : HackerEarth Goodies
Organised by : Programming Club, IIT Mandi
Link : CodeGolf
UPDATE : The third question had some bugs in input. The ps auxh command input was unfiltered, hence C++ users were getting a WA. It had been removed in the contest. Apologies.
Editorials for 2 problems have been posted, for the other problems, they will be up soon.
It would be great if someone could share their experience of the contest, the problems, expectations, etc. so we can improve in the future. Thanks! :)
