My code from participating in the Google Code Jam 2021.
It had been several years since I've participated in Code Jam, or even coded at all... but this ended up being a fun learning experience. It was also satisfying to 'crack the code' to get the tests to pass and earn enough points to move on.
The qualification round was open for 30 hours and was comprised of 5 problems. You needed to gain at least 30 points to move on.
Find my code and descriptions of the problems in the Qualification Round Folder
There were 3 problems and 2.5 hours to complete them. I went down the path of no return with question 1 and scored 0 points. whomp whomp
I will include my code that didn't work and the eventual solution that did.
I will try my luck again with round 1B.
