HW2 and Dress Rehearsal | |
|
Dear students, 1. Tomorrow we will hold a "dress rehearsal" for the upcoming contest, using the Technion automatic judge. Please make sure in advance that at least one member of your team can connect to the Technion internal network via VPN: https://cis.technion.ac.il/en/services/sase/ 2. Due to the current circumstances, the HW2 due date has been postponed to Sunday, July 13 (last day of the semester). HW2 covers two problems per lesson, and work is in teams. Updated PDF is available under "Assignments". See you tomorrow! The course staff |

Final contest: Team registration and tips for preparation | |
|
Dear students, Following yesterday’s announcement, here are some updates and preparation tips for the upcoming contest: Team registration * Please register your team for the final contest by Sunday, June 29th, using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/4vuZ8n1FRj Preparation tips * By topic: Preparation by topic allows you to ensure coverage, and gradually ramp up the level of difficulty. It is recommended to go through the problems presented in class (implementing complex algorithms is an excellent exercise, even if you already know the solution outline). Apart from that, we recommend the website https://cpbook.net/methodstosolve, which contains a large archive of competitive programming problems, grouped by topic. * Full simulations: Full simulations are a good way to practice teamwork, problem selection, and time management. In our next lesson, will hold a 3-hour "dress-rehearsal" contest with more questions, in varying levels of difficulty. In addition, we have published a simulation contest in vjudge. For more challenging simulations, we recommend solving problems from our regional ICPC contest (SWERC). * Team notebook: Include everything that will help you implement accurately and quickly. We strongly recommend prioritizing code that you actually used. The KACTL notebook template is considered relatively common in international contests: https://github.com/kth-competitive-programming/kactl Hoping for fruitful preparations! If any questions arise, feel free to reach out. The course staff |

Tomorrow's Class and HW2 Update | |
|
Dear students, We hope that everyone is safe and well in these very challenging times. 1. Tomorrow's lesson (June 17) will be held via Zoom. Attendance will be recorded and work will be done in groups, but submissions will not be graded. The Zoom link will be posted on the course website before class. 2. We’ve created a new virtual contest for HW2 due to technical issues with the previous one. Updated link can be found in the course vjudge group and in the task PDF. Stay safe, and if there are any constraints preventing you from attending, please let us know. Wishing for better days ahead, The course staff |

Welcome to the Workshop in Competitive Programming! | |
|
Dear students, Our first lesson will take place on Tuesday (01/04/2025) at 16:30, in Taub 7. In this lesson, we will introduce competitive programming and the workshop, solve some problems together, and have our first warm-up contest in singles. Before the first lesson, please complete the following steps: - Throughout the semester, we will use the vjudge system for weekly contests. Please create an account on https://vjudge.net/ . Please choose an indicative username, as it will be displayed on the scoreboard during class. - Register your username in the following form: https://forms.office.com/r/AmvsjxiEPw - Once you register, we will invite you to the workshop vjudge group. You will be able to see it under the "Group" section in the vjudge system. - To get comfortable with with the vjudge system, you can join the contest named 'Introduction contest' inside the group, and try to solve the warm-up problems there. - For problem solutions, we will use C++ exclusively throughout the semester. Note that workshop attendance is mandatory. If you anticipate any issues, please let us know in advance. Students who did not receive a registration confirmation from the TA in charge and want to take the course - Please attend the first lesson. Attendance will be tracked, and we will update the final registration status accordingly. Wishing an interesting, fun, and fruitful semester! The course staff |
