- Utilize the web-based contest environment for code writing, compilation, running, testing, and submission.
- Programs will be tested based on critical test data; input and output should precisely match the provided samples.
- On the contest day in the JBHT building, contestants will have access to only the contest URL and no other websites (including CodeChef.com pages).
- Individuals are responsible for registering CodeChef accounts for training purposes.
- A CodeChef account will be created by the HSPC staff for each team. These accounts will be used to submit codes during the contest.
- Each individual (students, coaches, visitors) attending the contest must fill out the registration form in order to attend.
- C
- C++ (v14 and v17 supported)
- Java
- Python3
- Each problem will have a Title, Statement, Input, and expected Output formats. Input constraints are optional.
- Contestants should refer to the CodeChef practice problems to familiarize themselves with the problem structure.
ACM ICPC Style Ranklist will be utilized.
- Teams will be ranked based on the score.
- In the case of a tie, rankings will be determined by ‘Total Penalty,’ calculated as the sum of the time elapsed when submitting the correct solution and a penalty of 20 minutes for every rejected submission (Wrong answer, Runtime error, Time limit exceeded) for solved problem. Lower ‘Total Penalty’ ranks higher.
- Total time is the time taken to solve a problem since the start of the contest.
- Compilation Errors do not contribute towards the 20-minute penalty.
- Time elapsed or penalty is not considered for any unsolved problem.
