Gear up for 10 days of non-stop coding in the November Long Challenge 2019. This is a perfect opportunity for you to foster your learning while competing with the best. All the problems will be available in English, Hindi, Bengali, Russian, Mandarin and Vietnamese.
Also, if you have any original and engaging problem ideas, and you’re interested in them being used in CodeChef’s contests, you can share them here: Problem Idea Submission | CodeChef.
I hope you will join your fellow programmers and enjoy the contest problems. Joining me on the problem setting panel are:
Registration: You just need to have a CodeChef handle to participate. For all those who are interested and do not have a CodeChef handle, are requested to register in order to participate.
Prizes:
Top 20 performers in the Indian category and top 10 performers in the Global category will get CodeChef laddus, with which the winners can claim cool CodeChef goodies. First to solve each problem except challenge - 100 laddus. Know more here: https://goodies.codechef.com/.
Excited !! and I hope the problems will not be like july challenge one’s because its stated that first one to solve gets laddoos . So , its very obvious that questions will not be easy and more about math
I think July Long had some nice problems (the mathy one was September Long).
I tried to make the contest more balanced. As all things should be.
Also Arjun helped me not choosing too hard cakewalks
Is the test in DDART just weak or my assumption is correct? “The point that every circle passes through have integer coordinates”.
I was generating tests to test my solution and realize it would be hard to do a big test with non - integer coordinates for center and everything else integer, or impossible, but didn’t prove it. Though my asserts passed so I just went along with it. Maybe the problem setter is lazy (well, the problem is identical to a Chinese one I did a few months ago anyways, just increased limit and made the people have to find the middle point).
