Final grades | |
| Dear students, The final grades are now published. The weight of each component is as published in the beginning of the semester. The grade for problems solved has a root factor. In addition, 50% of the class component is due to attendance, and the competition grade has half a point bonus for each team you outranked. More precisely, the final grade is as follows: HW=0.1*HW0+0.5*HW1+0.4*HW2 Class=33*(LessonsSum^(1/3)) 60*(ContestSolved**(1/3))+0.25*(25-ContestRank) Final=0.4*Class+0.3*HW+0.3*Contest We hope you enjoyed the workshop and learned and improved your skills along the way. We remind you that we have a form [ https://forms.gle/psZE4wQS3Rj5AhtU6 ] where you can write any comments or ideas you have regarding this class for the benefit of the students taking it next year. Have a lovely summer, the course staff |

Course feedback | |
| Dear students, We hope you an enjoyable and fruitful experiment this semester. We would like to keep on improving, so your feedback is really important to us. There are two channels in which you can give us feedback: 1) The Technion teaching survey - since you had two TAs this semester, filling the survey in the regular way is blocked. Instead, You can find the exactly same forms in the Moodle of the course. We have no permissions to the Moodle of the course so the responses will be anonymous, we will see it as in a regular teaching survey. 2) We would appriciate if you will take your time and fill the following form https://forms.gle/psZE4wQS3Rj5AhtU6 Regards, Course staff |

Verdict clarification | |
| Dear students, We have received questions about the meaning of the different verdicts that the judge returns. Here is a complete list: CORRECT: The submission passed all tests: you solved this problem! COMPILER-ERROR: There was an error when compiling your program. On the submission details page you can inspect the exact error. TIMELIMIT: Your program took longer than the maximum allowed time for this problem. Therefore it has been aborted. This might indicate that your program hangs in a loop or that your solution is not efficient enough. RUN-ERROR: There was an error during the execution of your program. This can have a lot of different causes like division by zero, incorrectly addressing memory (e.g. by indexing arrays out of bounds), trying to use more memory than the limit, etc. Also check that your program exits with exit code 0. NO-OUTPUT: Your program did not generate any output. Check that you write to standard out. OUTPUT-LIMIT: Your program generated more output than the allowed limit. The output was truncated and considered incorrect. WRONG-ANSWER: The output of your program was incorrect. This can happen simply because your solution is not correct, but remember that your output must comply exactly with the specifications of the jury. TOO-LATE: Bummer, you submitted after the contest ended! Your submission is stored but will not be processed anymore. Reagrds, The course staff. |

Working through the VM | |
| Dear students, There were a few errors that popped up when working with the IDEs through the VM. The errors were fixed: 1. When working with Ecplise, there was a warning that popped up that was fixed. 2. When working with Eclipse, a new project is not configured by default to compile c++11. We have created a "Hello World" project that is opened by default that works with c++11. You can choose to modify this project when solving problems instead of creating a new one and changing the configurations. 3. When working with Visual Studio, there was an error that occurred for c++ console applications. This was fixed. Please let Nofar know if you encounter additional problems. Regards, The course staff. |

HW2 problem with Canvas Painting | |
| Dear Students, It was brought to out attention that there is a problem with the tests of problem 7274. There is a discrepancy between the input specification and the online judge tests in this problem. The tests assume you should handle a concatenation of any number of inputs as described in the problem description. Therefore, in your code you should replace "cin >> T; your solution" with "while (cin >> T) {your solution}". This was added to the FAQ in the course website. Apologies for not spotting this earlier. Regards, The Course staff. |

| Dear students, A few announcements: - A contest named HW1 is now available in the course vjudge group. Notice that each week we will add new problems to this contest. It is suggested that you will begin solving the problems soon. We will open a webcourse submission when all the problems will be available. - Submission procedure - we have closed the webcourse submission for Lesson 1, and opened new assignments for late submissions. Please notice that the late submissions are in singles, and you should work on them alone. This been said, all team members are allowed to use the code you wrote in class. Regards, Course staff |

Lesson1 and HW0 | |
| We apologize for the technical difficulties during the lesson yesterday. We hope we have found a way around these by setting vjudge to use a different online judge in the following exercises. Some clarifications regarding the first lesson: Due to the technical difficulties during the lesson, all solutions to problems from Lesson 1 will count as late submission. If you have solved these problems or wish to solve them in the coming week, please submit your solutions on the course website. Submission instructions appear in the assignments tab. You can check that your solutions are accepted on vjudge.net through the contest "234901 Lesson 1" even though it technically ended. HW0 is now published, and is available on vjudge. You can access it through: vjudge.net > Groups tab > my invitations > 234901 Spring 2019. We invited all users that competed in the first lesson to this group. If you do not see this group, please send us an email with your vjudge username. Please complete this assignment before next lesson, and submit the solutions on the course website in the assignments tab. Regards, the course staff |

Starting Workshop in Competitive Programming! | |
| All registered students received a separate confirmation email just now. There was a very high demand for the workshop this year, and unfortunately not all students who asked to take the class had the chance to do so. The first meeting will take place on Tuesday (19/03/2019) at 16:30 in Taub 9. In this meeting we will introduce competitive programming and the workshop, solve some questions together, and have a first warm-up competition in singles (we will team up later in the semester). We ask you to bring a laptop to class. Please also open an account on vjudge.net . Try to choose an indicative username (or set a nickname), as it will show on the scoreboard in class. To see that you know how to work with vjudge, you can join the competition '234901 registration' with the password 'start' and solve the (easy) problem there. Note that attending this lesson is mandatory for taking the workshop. If you have a problem with attending or bringing a laptop, please let us know in advance. May we all have a pleasant and fruitful semester! The course staff. |

Registration | |
| Dear students, In this class we aim to learn and experience fast and efficient problem solving in code using core computer science topics you learnt. This class is very unique in structure. We will meet every week on Tuesdays at 16:30-19:30. In each meeting we will first learn algorithms, principles and tips, and then gain experience of problem solving in teams: understanding problems, designing efficient solutions and implementing them. To register please fill in the form (https://goo.gl/forms/tO1PZQo01KSG2tgC3) until February 25th. Note that a prerequisite for this class is Algorithms 1 (234247), and we will use material taught in Algorithms and in its prerequisites (e.g., Data Structures) in class. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions (but please read the information sheet and the FAQ first). We wish you a fruitful and enjoyable semester, The course staff |
