Contest Platform: The contest will be
conducted on
HackerRank. The HackerRank website can be accessed by most common
operating systems (including Linux, MacOS and Windows) and
supports common languages (including but not limited to Java,
Python3 and C++).
Teams are encouraged to practice on the HackerRank platform (create an account as a “Developer”) ahead of the contest so as to be familiar with how it works. Specifically, we encourage students to complete at least a few easy problems on the Algorithms and/or Data Structures parts of the HackerRank Problem Solving section, so that they will be comfortable with the platform. Another really good platform for additional problem solving practice is Kattis (this is the one that BYU’s competitive programming team generally practices on). - Spectators: Family and friends are invited to watch through the contest leaderboard. The leaderboard will be published closer to the contest date.
