Competitive Programmers
Competition is a rivalry where two or more parties strive for a common goal which cannot be shared: where one's gain is the other's loss (an example of which is a zero-sum game). Competition can arise between entities such as organisms, individuals, economic and social groups, etc. The rivalry can be over attainment of any exclusive goal, including recognition: Competition occurs in nature, between living organisms which co-exist in the same environment. Animals compete over water supplies, food, mates, and other biological resources. Humans usually compete for food and mates, though when these needs are met deep rivalries often arise over the pursuit of wealth, power, prestige, and fame when in a static, repetitive, or unchanging environment. Competition is a major tenet of market economies and business, often associated with business competition as companies are in competition with at least one other firm over the same group of customers. Competition inside a company is usu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Footnotes
A note is a string of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document or at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. The note can provide an author's comments on the main text or citations of a reference work in support of the text. Footnotes are notes at the foot of the page while endnotes are collected under a separate heading at the end of a chapter, volume, or entire work. Unlike footnotes, endnotes have the advantage of not affecting the layout of the main text, but may cause inconvenience to readers who have to move back and forth between the main text and the endnotes. In some editions of the Bible, notes are placed in a narrow column in the middle of each page between two columns of biblical text. Numbering and symbols In English, a footnote or endnote is normally flagged by a superscripted number immediately following that portion of the text the note references, each such footnote being numbered sequentially. Occasionally, a number between brack ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Online Judge
Competitive programming is a mind sport usually held over the Internet or a local network, involving participants trying to program according to provided specifications. Contestants are referred to as ''sport programmers''. Competitive programming is recognized and supported by several multinational software and Internet companies, such as Google and Facebook. A programming competition generally involves the host presenting a set of logical or mathematical problems, also known as puzzles, to the contestants (who can vary in number from tens or even hundreds to several thousands), and contestants are required to write computer programs capable of solving each problem. Judging is based mostly upon number of problems solved and time spent for writing successful solutions, but may also include other factors (quality of output produced, execution time, memory usage, program size, etc.) History One of the oldest contests known is the International Collegiate Programming Contest ...

Central European Olympiad In Informatics
The Central European Olympiad in Informatics (CEOI) is an annual informatics competition for secondary school students. Each of the participating central European countries (plus one or two guest countries, and a local team from the host area) sends a team of up to four contestants, a team leader and a deputy team leader. The contestants compete individually, i.e. a team score is not calculated. Competitors are selected through national competitive programming contests. The contest consists of two days computer programming, solving problems of an algorithmic nature. The structure of these competition days is described in the article about the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), which served as a role model for the more local CEOI. The first CEOI was held in 1994 in Romania (founder of the CEOI), five years after the first IOI. List of CEOI websites and locations CEOI 2021was supposed to be held in Zagreb, Croatia, was held online instead (1- 5 September 2021). CEOI 2020w ...

International Science Olympiad
The International Science Olympiads are a group of worldwide annual competitions in various areas of the formal sciences, natural sciences, and social sciences. The competitions are designed for the 4-6 best high school students from each participating country selected through internal National Science Olympiads, with the exception of the IOL, which allows two teams per country, the IOI, which allows two teams from the hosting country, and the IJSO, which is designed for junior secondary students. Early editions of the Olympiads were limited to the Eastern Bloc, but later they gradually spread to other countries. The Olympiad has no links to the International Olympic Committee nor the US sponsored Science Olympiad. Overview The Olympiads themselves are separate competitions each with its own organizing body, even though they are loosely grouped together as "ISOs". The aims of each ISO are to promote a career in science; to challenge the brightest students from around the world; an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Championnat International De Jeux Mathématiques Et Logiques
The Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques (''International competition for mathematical and logical games'') is an international mathematics competition mainly for French-speaking countries, but participation is not limited by language. History This competition was created in 1987 and was called ''Championnat de France des jeux mathématiques et logiques'' (''French competition for mathematical and logical games'') at that time. Contestants could come from other countries, but the competition was entirely in French. It became ''Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques'' at its fourth edition (1990), but was still in French. Then it became more and more international, with the problems translated in more and more languages. Since its beginning, this competition is organized by the French federation ''Fédération Française des Jeux Mathématiques'' (FFJM). But as it became international, federations were created in other countries and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
