Irish Collegiate Programming Competition

[Barry Hurley]

Hi,

For any pythonistas that are in college:

The fourth Irish Collegiate Programming Competition (IrlCPC) will be held on Saturday the 6th of April in University College Cork. We would like to invite teams from Irish third level institutions to participate in the competition.

The competition is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students. They will compete in separate categories but on the same set of problems. Undergraduate teams consist of 3 students, all from the same third level institute. Postgraduate teams should consist of 2 members.

The competition will test the participating teams on their combined knowledge of algorithms, programming and problem solving abilities. Team members will have one computer between them to solve a series of problems within 4 hours. Difficulty of the problems varies from simple (course work level) to challenging (ACM competition level). Last year’s problem set is available as a guide. Teams may choose to use Python, C, C++, Java and C# during the competition.

Thanks,

Barry
