Re: [gcj] Round 1A is over! Two more Round 1s to go!

In fact, I think Compilation Error should not be treated as incorrect submission. Many of us use different IDE that has different environment set up, which easily cause compilation errors like missing header. Personally I used Visual Studio and nearly every time I forgot to add header like in

Re: [gcj] How to test practice solution to problem in past contest?

Hi, We haven't been able to enable practice in the new platform yet, but we are working to make it available soon. Please stay tuned. We are also running an open week-long practice session feature the problems from the 2 past rounds. You can use that opportunity to practice until a more

Re: [gcj] Round 1A is over! Two more Round 1s to go!

I agree. I submitted Edgy Baking and received a big X and my heart dropped thinking that now I would need to debug a complicated mix of geometry and interval arithmetic. Luckily I regained my head and hovered my mouse over the X and found out it was just a compile error. I added the algorithms

Hey, Can someone clarify this description of dp approach? "For each cookie, we are deciding whether to leave it as is, or cut it, which adds L to our total perimeter and gives us up to R - L units of additional "slack". Once we have finished deciding which cookies to cut, we can include as

[gcj] How to test practice solution to problem in past contest?

Hi. I like to practise on problems from past contests. The old Code Jam platform allowed anyone to test and check solutions after a round ended [1]: > This contest is open for practice. You can try every problem as many times as > you like, though we won't keep track of which problems you

[gcj] What is the point of giving penalties for C++ compile errors?

I get 4-minutes penalties for compile errors. The compile error can happen even if I check that I can compile on local machine. I can only use the specified version and the OS if I want to be safe. I cannot use other C++ toolchains. Usually the header files cause problems. What is the

Re: [gcj] Submission and Penalty System

Hi, We've been asked this or similar questions many times. The short answer is that the trade-off between complexity of the system (not our code, but the specifications of the system) and the benefits are small enough not to do it. If you believe that submitting a small-only solution first gives

Re: [gcj] The Qual Round is over!

Hi, I'm glad we agree on the benefits of black box testing. As I said before, we completely agree with the sentiment that there's lots of important reasons to make practice available. It's high on our list of priorities and we are working to make that happen ASAP. Best, Pablo On Fri, Apr 13,

Re: [gcj] 2018 1A Edgy Baking problem analysis

As I solved this problem, I noted that the range of dimensions for the cookies was limited to 1 to 250. This interval is less than sqrt(2)^16, and I realized it meant that if you keep track of the intervals, merging them as they overlap, you will never have too many different intervals. Start

Can you try running testing_tool.py from the same directory where your .class file is? I think that might be the problem. On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 5:15 PM Casey Koenig wrote: > I was not able to get the tool to work for GoGopher in the Qualification > round and am
