Problem Sets

There are several free websites that have ICPC problems listed and allow you to submit problems, and they will automatically score your solution for you just like at the real contest. Several of these are listed on the links page, and provide a good means of practicing for the actual competition.

To get a feel for what the regional contest is like, last year's problem set for the North-Central North American region is here. If you want to try coding up these problems, you can test your solutions against the test data here.

In the Fall, we will mainly be using practice problems from UVA.

Please create an account on UVA using the password we gave you during the meeting. Once you have registered please send an email to hopman@cs.wisc.edu with your user name so that we can track your weekly progress.

All problems expect I/O to done using standard input and standard output. The solution to problems must be written in a single file. If you are programming in Java the application class should be called "Main".
