For part of the midterm you will participate in a Kattis programming contest.
Here are the instructions. Please follow carefully:
- You will create an account here: Kattis. When you create your account, you must set it to hide your username. Make sure the following boxes are not checked on the setting page. If you already sigened up, click on your name on the upper right corner, and select “profile settings”. The options below are at the bottom on the page.
- The contest is now published, and you can join anytime. You can start Oct 3 at 8:00 am.
- You can register with a team name that does not identify you. It’s up to your for the practice context. For the actual midterm you MUST use a made up name (per FERPA rules). When you join the contest you will need to give a team name. This is the name that will show up on the standings page. Make sure no one knows it is you.
- The practice contest can be found at this link.
- The contest starts: 2025-09-30 12:00 EDT and ends: 2025-10-02 17:00 EDT
- As this is a practice contest you can use any help you want.
- Solve all problems in C++.
- The contest has no grade value. It is for practice and for fun. I will give the top three students full credit on 3, 2, or 1 quiz (for first, second and third place)!
Have fun!
