I UCL programming tournament

At the same time, in parallel, we are running the first UCL programming tournament. This is a tournament aimed at UCL students who want to test their knowledge with their colleagues. The tournament will run in teams of up to 3 people, where up to two members can program at the same time and using the Repl.it platform. The accepted languages are C ++ and C #. So, let's see who is the fastest trigger in programming?

The description is for both 1 kg of non - perishable food!

To get started, choose which one you want to participate in:

1-Hour of Code - For Scratch, Makey Makey and MIT App Inventor workshops

2-Programming Tournament - Aimed at UCL students who wish to challenge themselves. More information HERE .

The team:

-Can consist of up to 3 participants and a reserve.

-Once the dispute starts, the team cannot be modified.

The dispute:

-Will be composed of easy, medium and difficult problems, with respective value of 1, 3 and 5 points.

-All codes generated will be tested through a data file (input.txt)

-Whoever has the most points at the end. In the event of a tie, whoever has delivered the most difficult, medium and easy challenges in that order will win. If there is still a tie, it will be checked who delivered the first challenge.

-The dispute will have the total time, and exactly, 3 hours, any program delivered must have enough time to be tested within that time. Otherwise, it will be disregarded.

The challenges:

-The challenges can be delivered in C ++ or C # through the repl.it tool. It is advisable that you are already registered in it, before starting the competition.

-All challenges, from easy to difficult, may contain vectors, matrices, reading and writing files, sorting, searching and basic programming commands.

-The difference between levels of difficulty will be focused on the interaction between the elements mentioned above.
