Ken:I guess most of the programmers that do in C/C++ learned it in school and did several years in them. Books like Ritch & Kenni etc would be their best friends.
They are so experienced that they can program without exceptions and stuff that we are used to in our day to day programming (at software companies). But yeah, I've seen top 5-6 contestants all of them used cpp. And no regex's. Also, can you tell me your position so that I can see your code? Dhruv: I tried Ruby and regex's but failed miserably. Apparently we shouldn't venture a new programming language for the contest ;) So shifted back to java and normal string parsing and was able to solve. Though many have done it, I still congratulate you on finding a regex solution. Kudos Can any explain what the meaning of %10000 and 2D cache in the third problem that all the contestants used? I think I missed that big time and hence couldn't solve it though i got the recursive idea. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-codejam" group.
