Programming Contests

 

About

Each spring semester, we hold a programming contest which all students and faculty are invited to participate in. The goal of the contest is to solve a set of programming problems as fast as possible.

There are between 7 and 10 problems ranging from very easy problems beginning students should be able to solve, to very difficult ones that will challenge top seniors and faculty.

You can compete in teams of 1 to 3, and use any programming language you like. Currently supported languages include C, C++, Java, Python, and Julia. If you would like another language supported, let me know in advance of the contest.

Programming contests are great for sharpening your algorithmic thinking, getting experience working with others on tough problems, and serve as a great practice for technical job interviews!
