Programming Perfection: Kansas high 1xbet online casino students compete in computer programming contest
MANHATTAN -- More than 220 students from 29 Kansas high schools participated in the 21st annual High 1xbet online casino Programming Contest at Kansas State University on Nov. 1.
The College of Engineering's computing and information sciences department sponsored the contest. Teams of up to four high 1xbet online casino students competed to write computer programs that would solve problems presented during the contest. David Gustafson, professor, and Rodney Howell, associate professor, both of computing and information sciences, generated the problems, test cases and solutions.
"The contest gives high 1xbet online casino students an opportunity to be challenged," Gustafson said. "We try to provide problems that have relevance to the real world and challenge the students in being creative in their solutions."
Competition was offered in beginning and advanced divisions. Teams used computer programming languages to solve six problems presented during five rounds. Teams earned points based on how quickly and accurately they were able to solve the problem within a set amount of time. Medals for first, second and third places were awarded to the teams with the highest scores.
