Prizes

There are a total of 12 prizes, which will be distributed to the winners, in order, from the 350+ division down (350 1st, 350 2nd, 350 3rd, 240 1st ... 145 3rd). Prize winners will be given a choice of the remaining prizes, in this order.

Rules

  • The creator of this contest is solely responsible for setting and communicating the eligibility requirements associated with prizes awarded to participants, as well as for procurement and distribution of all prizes. The contest creator holds HackerRank harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs, awards, settlements, orders, or fines.
  • Code directly from our platform, which supports over 30 languages. Learn more here.

You may only compete in the division of the highest numbered CSCE course (among 145, 146, 240, and 350) you have most recently started. Example: if you have taken/are in 240, you are in the 240 division. Unless, you are in/have taken 350 in which case you are in the 350+ division.

If you are competing for a prize, please work alone and, while we welcome some research to aid you in solving the problems, do not copy and paste a solution algorithm that you did not write yourself from scratch during the contest, or otherwise disingenuously solve the problem. We aren't going to spell this out more, don't cheat.

You are welcome to break these rules, just know that if you rank in the top 3, you will need to inform us (when asked) that you chose to participate without competing for a prize.

Scoring

  • Each challenge has a pre-determined score.
  • A participant’s score depends on the number of test cases a participant’s code submission successfully passes.
  • If a participant submits more than one solution per challenge, then the participant’s score will reflect the highest score achieved. In a game challenge, the participant's score will reflect the last code submission.
  • Participants are ranked by score. If two or more participants achieve the same score, then the tie is broken by the total time taken to submit the last solution resulting in a higher score
