Learn 10Th Annual Code Jam Contest Wraps Inwards London

Scientists at Google Labs convey discovered it's non slow to locomote a nifty stone drummer. Your task is to devise an algorithm to audition drummers based on the imperfections of their rhythms.

This is the type of challenge that was posed to the finalists of our tenth annual Code Jam finally week. Twenty-four of the world’s best coders were flown to London to compete for the championship of Code Jam Champion 2013 too the accompanying $15,000.

Belarus's Ivan Miatselski, a.k.a. “mystic,” was crowned Champion, besting to a greater extent than than 45,000 other registrants too making it through iv online qualifying rounds earlier winning the in-person finals. The finally circular was a four-hour, five-problem tour de code. Throughout Code Jam, contestants are allowed to locomote any programming language too whatever evolution environs they like, ranging from C++ to Taxi. And piece the finalists are with the with the well-nigh talented, we’ve withal to run into anyone earn a perfect grade during the finally round.

Successfully solving the problems involves to a greater extent than than simply writing code: contestants inwards this year's finals needed mastery of computational geometry, dynamic programming, numerical algorithms too more. Though the competitor is fierce, Code Jam is every bit good a growing community of skilled problem-solvers, engineers too friends from all over the world. Code Jam volition locomote dorsum inwards 2014—join our community on Google+ too expect for to a greater extent than tidings to come.
