Description
You think you are a good programmer? Need some good experience to show
off to your future IBM/Microsoft/NewBridge/Nortel employers? Then here
is your opportunity to prove yourself! The
Department of Computing and Information Science,
CISC DSC, and the
Student Chapter of the
ACM
are proud to announce the
second annual Queen's Internal Programming Contest. The format of the
contest will be very similar to the annual
ACM programming contest. Each contestant will be
given five to six questions to solve individually. The solution must
be written in C, C++, or Java. You are allowed to use any
non-electronic reference, so you can bring any books or notes, but no
searching in the Internet.
Contestants are judged based on their academic year, i.e., second year
contestants will compete with other second year contestants, fourth
year (and above) contestants will compete with other fourth year
contestants. The problems are the same for all contestants. The year
of a student is determined by the number of years he/she studied at
Queen's.
There will be four winners, one from each year, and each of them will
receive a plaque from the Department of CISC. We are currently
looking for corporate sponsor so additional prizes may be handed out.
To register for the contest, please send your name, current year, and
degree of study to
acmteam@cs.queensu.ca.
As spaces are limited, you must register for the contest.

Format of the Contest (New)
There will be 6 questions. This year's questions will be easier, as
we made them too hard in the past. You are allowed to use a Unix
workstation or a PC to program the solutions. The solution must be in
standard C, C++, or Java. Solutions will be judged on a Unix
workstation.
To test the correctness of your solution, we have a set of input and
the corresponding set of model output. Your solution is judged as
correct if your output matches the model output. You do not have to
handle invalid input - the input to test your solution will always be
valid (according to the specification of the question).
In case you want to know, the questions are written by people at
Queen's University and at University of Toronto, as we are holding our
internal contests simultaneously with the same set of questions.
