Google Code Jam Round 2 2020 (30th)

Got 30th overall, which, for me, is great for such a big contest

Finished A, B, and C within 70 minutes, and I spent the rest of my time trying D but with no success

I almost give up in this field but I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and you really motivate me to be better. Thankyou really

I mastered programming within hours. I wrote my OWN versions of the two most popular programs in the world.

The first is Hello World. While rudimentary, and lacking in threading capabilities, it boasts an extremely user-friendly and intuitive interface. I wrote it in c++ using gcc compiler, Asus monitor, and human fingers.

The second is Good Bye world. While it may not be as widely known as Hello World, it still offers the EXACT same amount of utility that the hello world program offers. I wrote this in Java using some coffee grounds I found at the bottom of my Starbucks cup. I compiled it myself with a straw.


I too am thinking of expanding on my Hello World program and turning it into a multi-greeting, synchronized planetary operating system based off the not widely known Iinux kernel (which I also made by hand using binary found in the background of the Matrix (the first), specifically minutes 22 thru 34 as a base.) I've yet to compile my binary into assembly, and then compile the assembly into c++ so that I can finally recompile into an exe, but when I do... I'll be rich! I'm going to name the OS Look Out World, or LOW for short. So look out world, there will be a new LOW coming from me soon!!

Benq has like 100 lines of only templates, you need to search to the bottom to find where the solution starts.

Show us a setup guide for competitive programming

[collwyr]

Well, congratulations is in order William, nicely done!

[ajazahmed]

Hey @William Lin, can you please make a video on what topics and algorithms are important for cracking such competitions like Google Codejam, Kickstart, ICPC, Hashcode, etc

They got A in ~2 minutes because they just solved A small, which is just sim it. A large requires the 2 binary searches, which is why no one good solved A super fast.

You could be a doctor with that handwriting.

[nextrie]

Dude, that's really inspiring. I'm gonna have to take my time to watch that. Keep it up!

Benq on another level he even beat Gennady??

[arinroday]

I suggest you use a pen and paper for drawing. Believe me it will boost you by a lot

[장재혁-mr]

What is the most popular C++ compiler for competitive programming?
And what c++ compiler does he use?

[phirun]

When did you start to learn coding? And which coding you study? And what major will you choose?

[alberthinkel]

Wasn't the first problem just a easy recursive function with gauß sum and termination condition wenn i-th customer pancake request is greater than max of both pancake stacks?
