Coding
Description
Participants respond to an annual coding-related design challenge by developing a software program that will accurately address an onsite problem in a specified, limited amount of time.
The following programming languages may be used to complete the assigned problems:
C version C17
C++ version C++20
C# version 8
Java version 21.0
Javascript/Node version 18.19
Python version 3.9
Ruby version 3.2
Rust version 1.75

Participants will be presented with a series of coding problems that must be completed on site at the conference. Evaluation will be based on the successful completion of the problems and the time in which it takes students or teams to complete all the challenges.
The USA Computing Olympiad website and the ACM-ICPC International website are helpful resources for the Coding event. Additional resources that can be used to prepare for the event are listed below:
