Canadian Computing Competition

[KayyPii]

Hey guys,

There must be some canadian teams out there xD
So I'm wondering did any of you write the CCC?
If yes, how far did everyone get?

[Chaggar]

A friend and I wrote it. We both wrote the Junior one and it was the first time we even did it.

I found it extremely challenging.... but i guess... thats what its there for.

I completed J1-J3 and didn't even bother with J4 and J5.

I know forsure that J1 and J3 were just about perfect, but I didn't fully finish J2.

How did you do?

I wrote Senior:

finished 1+2 well. I believe there are no bugs, (but who doesn't).
half finished 3 and ran out of time. I know I could've finished if I had more time. I had almost everything but the dijkstra's algorithm for the shortest path. I'm still hoping I made the certificate cutoff.

[KayyPii]

Oh man, you guys did pretty well lol
I did junior last year and senior this year, and i found out my mark today...
i got 6 for S1 and 6 for S2 for a total of 12.

I half finished three too, didn't have enough time to generate the rest of the graph though.

Have you guys find that S2's solution was weird? O_o
I swear I worked out 5 different possible outcomes.

I heard J2 was actually hard? is that true? lol

[Booksy]

s2 seemed fairly straightforward... How did you get the bottom possibilities, Did you start at the top and work down through the combinations IE:
1011
0110
0000
1100

vvv


Possibilities r4: 1011
Possibilities r3: 0110 1101
Possibilities r2: 0000 0110 1101
Possibilities r1: 1100 1100 1010 0001

would make 4 -1 =3 for duplicates.

which would be a *fairly* straight forward recursive function.

[KayyPii]

i think i might of understood the question wrong lol
but yea, in the end i just worked from top down.

Man today i found out that I lost 9 marks on S1 because the programming environment I programmed in didn't allow for such a large integer input.

Did you use java or c?

[Booksy]

I planned on using c, but the 'CS' teacher at my school said he didn't know it well enough and I had to use java, which was alright because I know them both pretty equally.

What IDE did you use?

[KayyPii]

lol, I used this weird programming language called Turing. xD
Reason being my schools computer is slow, and I didn't want to use too much time compiling. xD

I did junior last year and pulled of a semi-decent mark on it. Not good enough to be a top score or anything though.
