Or is it? My C-small-2 solution has worse complexity than most others, I only passed because of my i5 processor, using 4 threads and sticking to C++ instead of another language. I think that if I used python, same solution with same complexity would need more than 4 minutes even with threads.
The best language for codejam is the one you are most familiar with. Top competitors just happen to be more likely to be familiar with C++. It is not that C++ is a good language for programming contests, but that C++ programmers tend to be better in contests :) . Probably because once you can tame such a mess of a language that is full of pitfalls you are better at being careful with bugs :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
