About Code Jam:
Do you enjoy solving tough problems and grappling with technical
challenges? Then enter Google Code Jam!
Google Code Jam is a coding competition in which professional and
student programmers are asked to solve complex algorithmic challenges
in a limited amount of time. The contest is all-inclusive: Google Code
Jam lets you program in the coding language and development environment
of your choice.
Google Code Jam begins in July and continues in August, when you will
compete in online rounds against contestants from around the world. The
Top 500 participants will advance to onsite competitions at a local
Google office to compete against those in their region (Asia Pacific;
Europe, Middle East and Africa; and the Americas). The Top 100 will
participate in the final round at the Google Headquarters in Mountain
