Info

The problems are straightforward so that you can get used to the HackerRank platform

There is no need to worry if you are unable to complete the problem set in the given time. You will have a lot more time per problem in the actual contest.

Format:
- If teams complete the same number of problems, the time taken for all of the submissions will be used as the tie breaker
- The time limit for all of the problems is 2 seconds and the memory limit is 512 mb.
- If you are using java, the name of your class must be "solution"
- There is a 5 minute time penalty for wrong submissions

Tips:
- The judging computer can perform approximately calculations in one second. You can use this to check if a particular solution would pass with the given constraints before writing any code.
- If you are using c++ or python 2, you can use the given templates for the input. If you have to write your solution from scratch, note that each line ends in a \r\n and not a \n.
- The problems are not ordered based on difficulty. If you cannot solve a problem, move on and return to it later.

Rules

  • Please refrain from discussing strategy during the contest.
  • All submissions are run through a plagiarism detector. Any case of code plagiarism will disqualify both users from the contest.
  • You can also code using our interface, which currently supports over 40 major languages. Learn about our environment and time limits here. If you are not yet familiar with our platform, check out Solve Me First to acquaint yourself with I/O.
  • HackerRank admin decisions are final.

Scoring

  • Each challenge has a pre-determined score.
  • Your score for a problem depends on the number of test cases your submission successfully passes.
  • A participant's total score is the sum of the scores earned for each problem attempted. If you submitted more than one solution for a problem, only your highest score achieved will be used in this calculation.
  • Participants are ranked by score, with the cumulative time taken (between the contest's start time and the time of your correct submission) used to break ties.
