Where Can I Find Information About the 2019 Programming Competition?

[sbrothy]

I seem to have found a programming competition øen (for 2019),but I cannot find it again. Anyone have a clue where this went?

 

[jedishrfu]

Perhaps one of these will do

Thank you. What I really was looking for though was this:

[jedishrfu]

Cool! Is this a team event or one on one?

is there a required programming language?

 

[sbrothy]

I don't know but I'm intrigued. The problems from 2019 didn't look impossibly difficult.

 

[jedishrfu]

That’s the way people feel when they watch game shows until they get on one and with just one question unanswered and you lose.

Another fun contest is the International Obfuscated C Code Contest.

A 1988 entry by Brian Westley calculates pi by examining itself.

#define _ -F<00||--F-OO--;
int F=00,OO=00;main(){F_OO();printf("%1.3f\n",4.*-F/OO/OO);}F_OO()

Heh yeh. That reminds me of the language "brainf*ck". I seem to remember it being Turing complete, but I could be wrong...

From the link in post #3

https://nordic.icpc.io/

About half way down the page under:
How do I participate?
If you want to participate but don't have a complete team of three please contact your local contest director so they can try to help you connect with other people without teams.

Hah! Reading more about brainfsck I came across this expression:

"Turing tarpit".

That was a new one to me. The word, not the concept, mind. :)

But seriously, we could make a "Physics Forum" team. Couldn't we?

this site has some sample programs in brain*

Although the website could be clearer, this is a competition only for teams from universities based in Nordic countries.

 

[sbrothy]

Ah. Didn't read it thoroughly enough it would seem then. Shame that.
