Re: [gcj] Helpful info for 2016 Code Jam

[Bartholomew Furrow]

Another point is that solving Code Jam problems is a nice way to learn a
new language... at least the very basics. And looking at the code other
people have submitted (https://go-hero.net/jam is great for this -- here's
the page  with Python
solutions from 2015) is a great way to learn tricks.

Re: [gcj] How dose Google check the source code?

[Paul Smith]

You run the code on your own machine.

You upload the code to show you used a publicly available language and
didn't cheat.

I am wondering how dose google check the source code. If i used standard

Re: [gcj] Helpful info for 2016 Code Jam

[Luke Pebody]

Most people use C++ because:
1) it is faster for execution time
2) they do other programming contests and c++ is good to use there because
of 1).

However I feel the code jam questions are almost all designed so that the
challenge is coming up with a good algorithm, but when you do that
algorithm can be written in any non-esoteric language.

I primarily use Python because I find it optimizes my developer time.
Ideally I think you should use the language you are most comfortable with.

[gcj] Helpful info for 2016 Code Jam

[John Paul Jones]

As Google Code Jam gets closer I had a couple questions.  I have done the code 
jam the past 4 years and have usually passed the qualification round.  But I 
want to see if I can take it to the next level.  I used C#, C++ and JavaScript 
in the past but I am thinking of giving  python a try cause I hear that is a 
good one to use.

What is the best language to use?
What are some books you would recommend to read?  

-I am not talking really about new languages to use more about the  algorithmic 
problems and solving them or doing competitive code competitions.
