Rules
This is the 4th high school programming competition organized by the Panther Creek Programming Team.
Each individual will work on a set of 10-12 programming problems during the 3-hour time period. The individual that solves the most amount of problems will win the contest, and time will be used as a tiebreaker. You can work on the problems in any order (it is optimal time-wise to solve the easiest ones first).
The grading system for the competition will be Kattis. Feel free to practice and get used to the platform. If you're unfamiliar with the Kattis system, here's a good place to start, and you can use these problems to warm up:
Note that everything will go through standard input/output (e.g. input()/print() and scanf()/printf()). Inputs will be given to you exactly as specified, and your outputs must also match exactly the official outputs.
You can use any language supported by the grading system (C, C++, Python2, Python3, Java, etc.).
Prizes (Subject to minor change)
- 1st Place: $15 Amazon.com eGift Card
- 2nd Place: $10 Amazon.com eGift Card
