Programming Contest

On Tuesday, March 31, 2009, the Baldwin-Wallace College ACM Student Chapter hosted a computer programming contest for high school students from various high schools in the northeast Ohio area. Each team at the high school programming contest was given six programming problems to (attempt to) solve during the competition. The team which solved the most problems with as few inaccurate submissions won the contest.

The scoreboard and problem set for the 2009 contest are now availabe. This and previous problem sets are available on this site, and make a great way to practice for the upcoming 2010 high school programming contest.

Students will be able to solve the problems with the following language and development environment combinations:
  • Program in C++ using Visual Studio 2005
  • Program in C# using Visual Studio 2005
  • Program in Java (J#) using Visual Studio 2005
  • Program in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2005
Sample Problems - (Updated with 2009 contest problems)
To help prepare for the contest, we have posted a few sample problems that your school can look at and practice with.
