This repository contains my solution to the Google HashCode 2018 Qualification round problem. The solution is a simple greedy algorithm written in Java.

The score has been validated by using this Python script not written by me:

• a_example.in: 4 points
• b_should_be_easy.in: 176.677 points
• c_no_hurry.in: 13.789.773 points
• d_metropolis.in: 10.914.293 points
• e_high_bonus.in: 21.460.945 points
• Total: 46.341.692 points

For reference, if this was in the competition it would have been #604 worldwide and #34 in Italy. The first placed score is only 3 millions points ahead.

If you want to say something, feel free to open an issue on this project. I don't guarantee I'll make any fixes on but I'll read and reply for sure.

If instead you want to get in touch directly, just send me an email.
