Google Code Jam


  The Journey Of A Thousand Miles

A cold night it  was trying to get ourselves ready for what was to be our first google code jam.
The Google code jam is an annual programming contest held each year online.It is open to both student and professional programmers alike.

As a kid I always believed in attempting the impossible and for me this was a chance to flex my muscles on something worthwhile.

Here is a precept of the issues we faced as a team.
  1. We had to be faster at our analysis and implementation.
  2. We were good but we needed to be better.
  3. If a method doesn't work look for another.(Iteration)
  4. Have fun.

Edit (2016) : We are much better than we were when we started :) . In terms of speed, accuracy and knowledge base. Thanks in part to codeforces.com and codechef.com
