Love solving Mathematical problems. Then get ready for some action ahead.
Computer Science Association, BITS PILANI, Pilani Campus presents you their flagship contest, “Mathemagic 2017”. It is being organised as a part of our technical fest, Apogee.
Contest Link : https://www.hackerrank.com/mathemagic-bits
Start Time : 17:00 IST, 23rd March’ 2017
Prizes to be Won:
First Place: INR 3000, Second Place: INR 2000, Third Place: INR 1000.
The contest consists of 10 problems of varying difficulty similar to ones available at Project Euler and ad Infinitum contests. The problems have been set such that even beginners can attempt a few problems and even the best coders find tough job ahead at the hard ones. Although Mathematical insights and tricks would help you find the logic in the problem, programming will be your way out for the full solution. There will be 4 “TEXT” based problems where the input is provided in the question, similar to the format in Project Euler. Rest 6 problems will be programming based. The editorials of all the problems with the Setter’s code will be uploaded immediately after the contest so that you may benefit from it.
The problems have been set by me. I would like to thank Morass for testing the problems and providing valuable feedback as well. I would also like to thank Chirag Agarwal and CSA juniors for their feedback as well.
To register for the contest, you just need a Hackerrank handle and then just click on the link mentioned above for registering for the contest.
I hope you enjoy the contest and Happy Coding
