The ICPC International Collegiate Programming Contest hosted regional competitions at sites in countries for 59, team members and their coaches from over universities that span the globe. ICPC alumni number over , worldwide, many playing key roles in building the global digital community for many decades.
The ICPC is the root of competitive programming that reaches out through the global digital community to persons from all cultures and in increasingly-younger generations. What is competitive programming and why should you get involved? First and foremost, it's a mind sport. It more fully develops your algorithmic reasoning skills and bridges the gap between theory and application in bite-sized chunks.
Full participation develops problem-solving intuition and competence. Get ready for the Digital Renaissance that will shape your world in the coming decades. To understand the landscape, it is important to shape your mind beyond a swarm of buzzwords. Do it as a team sport. Start with Competitive Programming 4, Book 1 and Book 2.
Start with Book 1 first :. The authors are seasoned competitive programming experts who have dedicated decades of work to help at all levels of the sport. In parallel, engage in a culture that develops habits excellence. You are the first generation that has never been disconnected. Being connected is best when we bind our strengths together in common cause.
Do that and prepare to meet the challenges that will define your generation. Life needs you. We are born to compete. We compete best when we compete together, in good faith, in goodwill, and with good deeds. Is developing your problem-solving skills important? Is preparing for a future engaged in the global digital community important? Is following T.
Elliot's advice that to fully develop you must go too far? Do that in competitive programming. Be careful of pursuits that are not reversible. Is competitive programming practical? Aristotle asserted that there is nothing more practical than engaging in mental activities and reflections which have their goal in themselves and take pace for their own sake.
Let me recommend that you engage your spirit in building a more beautiful world. In the immense scope of life, abundant small kindnesses make a difference. It works for athletes. It works for musicians. It works for all performance arts. It will work for you. May you live long to serve the humanity by producing super-human programmers.
What, in my father's words, was "clearly an exaggeration" , caused some thinking. And it's not a secret that thoughts can easily lead to dreams.
His dream was to create a community around the project he had started, as part of his teaching job at the University of Valladolid, Spain, that gathered people from all around the world working together towards the same ideal, the same quest.
With a little searching, on the primitive Internet of the first years of our century, a whole online community of excellent users and tools, built around the UVa site, came to light. The website Methods to Solve , created by a very young student from Indonesia, was one of the most impressive among them. There was the result of the hard work of a real genius of algorithms and computer science. The seed was planted to believe that the dream could come true.
Moreover, it was not only that the leaves of that growing tree were a perfect match, but the root of both projects were exactly the same: to serve the humanity. That young student, the author of the e-mail and the website that put my father to dream, was Steven Halim.
Later he would discover that Steven was not alone in his quest, as his younger brother, Felix, shared his view, his interests, and his extraordinary capabilities. After 15 years of fruitful collaboration and, more important, friendship with Steven and Felix, my father sadly passed away in His work, and his dreams, now belong to us, the next generation. This book is the living proof that the dream has become true. Now, with this fourth version of Competitive Programming in my hands, I can add that I can't imagine the very existence of the Online Judge without this book.
Both projects have grown in parallel and are, no doubt, perfect complements and companions to each other. By practicing and mastering most programming exercises in this book, the reader can learn how to solve hundreds of tasks and find a place in the top best Online Judge coders.
You have in your hands over yes, two thousand! The authors, in the past two decades, have grown from contestants, to coaches and, finally, masters in the art of competitive programming. They perfectly know every curve and crossroad in that long path, and they can put themselves in the skins of the young IOI contestant, the ICPC newcomer or the seasoned coach, speaking to each in their own language.
This book is, for that very reason, the perfect reading for all of them. I love movies, I adore classic movies, and I know that what I'm watching is a masterpiece, when, after the film ends, I can't wait to start all over again. In Steven and Felix own words "the book is not meant to be read once, but several times".
And you will find that same feeling, not only because the authors recommend it, but because you will be anxious to read and re-read it as, like in the greatest movies, you will find something new and amazing each time. This book is, by that logic, a masterpiece. I also have the great honor of being the Spanish language translator of this book.
Translating requires a very meticulous process of converting the words while keeping the spirit. You have to think as the author would think, and have to perfectly understand not only what the author is saying, but also what the author is meaning.
It is a handcrafting exercise. Having gone forth and back through this text hundreds of times, I have enjoyed every concept, every new idea, and every tip, not only by what is written in it, but also by what it wants to achieve. The quest of making better programmers and, behind that, the quest of serving humanity. This book is, indeed, a truly masterpiece. Once you've read this book several times, you will realize how much a better programmer you are but, believe it or not, you will realize that you are also a happier person.
Like so many other computer scientists, he has a great sense of humor, and named it "Competitive Programming: Increasing the Lower Bound of Programming Contests. Packed with practical advice, it was well-suited to get beginners started and had useful material for the more seasoned algorithmist. Steven and Felix's vision for their book was to teach everybody how to program As Gusteau from Ratatouille would put it: "Tout le monde peut programmer".
I had a similar vision, but instead of writing a book, we created Kattis. In that sense, they are like two of many pieces in the same puzzle. Kattis is an online tool for teaching computer science and programming, which relies on a curated library of programming tasks. I managed to convince Steven that he should try using Kattis for some of his teaching activities.
Over the years he has moved from using Kattis, to pushing us to improve Kattis, to adding high-quality content to Kattis. From years of teaching algorithms and using similar systems that preceded Kattis, we learned that the quality of the problems, and their absolute correctness, are paramount for learning outcomes. So, this is where we put extra effort into Kattis. If you ever felt that it's too much work to add problems to Kattis, this is why.
