Announcements | |
Dear students, A few announcements: HW3 You can find 4 problems in vjudge. The submission will be until 02/08, however, if you need to get your grade early, submit your solutions early, and we will update your grade. Please submit 3 days before you need the grade. Grades You can find grades to most of the class submissions in the webcourse. Some details about your submission are also availeable. It is a JSON file of a python dictionary, you can simply read with python (open file as f, and then json.load(f)), or simply read it manualy using a text editor. The important fields are problem_id and oj_verdict. If there is any problem with your grade, please fill the following form: https://forms.gle/mEF7udg4PoAwhhEH6 As for now, there is no grade in lesson 9 due to unknown bug in the checker program. We will fix the bug soon and upload the grades. Regards, Course staff |

MillerProblem with the Miller-Rabin algorithm | |
Dear students, There was a bug with the Miller-Rabin (MR) algorithm, thus we will consider late submissions of problem E from lesson 4 as a full submission. The submission deadline was extended to Sunday 10/05 16:30. You can now find a working version under the course material. The problem was interesting, so here is a brief description: As part of the MR algorithm, in order to check if a number n is a prime, another number a is raised to a certain power modulo n using the fast exponentiation algorithm we saw in class, since it is modulo n there shouldn't be any overflow problems. However, in the algorithm we compute the square of a number, and when computing x*x an overflow occurred. How to fix such a problem? We want to compute x*x mod n where x*x will cause an overflow, we can use the exact same method as fast exponentiation, but using addition instead of multiplication, and applying the mod opperation after each step. For example, if we want to compute 13*13 mod 10, we can write it as (8+4+1)*13, we can compute it using the follwoing steps: 1*13 mod 10 = 3 2*13 mod 10 = 2*3 mod 10 = 6 4*13 mod 10 = 2*6 mod 10 = 2 8*13 mod 10 = 2*2 mod 10 = 4 thus, 13*13 mod 10 = 3+2+4 = 9 Regards, Course staff |

A few announcements | |
Dear students, HW0: - You can now submit your solutions in the webcourse. - There was a problem with one of the problems, you can now find a working version of the same problem in the vjudge. Next Lesson: - We have contacted the admins of the online judge which was slow during the last lesson, they are aware of this problem, and they claim to solve it. We hope that this problem won't occur, and we have some backup solutions in case that it will. Submissions: We remind you to submit the problems of the last lesson in the webcourse. Registration: We sent the final participants list to the secretariats, if you do not intend to attend the course please contact the staff ASAP. Regards, 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. Due to the special circumstences the workshop this semester will be given online, we are still working on all the details, and we will give all the details in the first meeting which will take place on Tuesday (24/03/2020) at 16:30. In this meeting we will introduce competitive programming and the workshop, solve some questions together, and have a first warm-up competition in singles. What do you need to to before the class: - Please open an account on https://vjudge.net/ . Try to choose an indicative username (or set a nickname), as it will show on the scoreboard in class. - Fill the following form: https://forms.gle/hAhRVfF3JSEt7aix7 - We will add you to the course group, you will be able to see it under the "Group" section in vjudge. - To see that you know how to work with vjudge, you can join the competition 'Introduction contest' inside the group and solve the (easy) problem there. Note that attending this lesson is mandatory for taking the workshop. If you have a problem with attending, please let us know in advance. May we all have a pleasant and fruitful semester! The course staff. |

Dear students, In this class we aim to learn and experience fast and efficient problem solving in code using core computer science topics you learned. This class is 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://forms.gle/mwAFL47dxMZET41v5) 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 |
