Are you passionate about solving challenging problems and interested in programming? The Indian Computing Olympiad (ICO) is the perfect platform for you to sharpen your skills and aim for a gold medal for India!
The Computing Olympiad tasks participants with finding efficient algorithms and correctly implementing solutions to given problems. This competition requires a combination of problem-solving skills and programming expertise. Here are two examples:
In this task, a number of black and white points are arranged in a square. The goal is to connect all the white points with straight lines and all the black points with straight lines such that none of the lines cross each other. The challenge is to find an efficient way to draw these connecting lines for any given arrangement of points.
In this task, dots are colored black to form two straight rods on a rectangular grid. One rod is horizontal and the other is vertical, and they may or may not intersect. The challenge is to identify the exact locations of both rods using a minimum number of queries.
The Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (IARCS) hosts a monthly online programming contest via the Indian Computing Olympiad website. The contest is open to everyone interested in algorithmic problem-solving. Register online to participate and work through the archive of past problems to improve your skills and potentially represent India at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).
