I don't agree with the don't practice either, as you stated there's no
need to try __any__ of the previous contests, and it sounds just bs to me.
Not all the coding challenges have the same data-oriented approach as GCJ,
and by practicing the previous challenges you'll be able to measure how hard
it gets and how can you get in shape for whatever comes next.

No one is trying to foresee what are the next questions, but the previous
would give you an idea of the GCJ trends. Dijkstra once said that:

Programming is one of the most difficult branches of applied mathematics;
the poorer mathematicians had better remain pure mathematicians

And as far as I know, if you're not a born genius, the more you practice and
learn from your mistakes, the better you get.

Re: [gcj] Previous contests

2010-05-07 Thread Felipe Sodré Silva
No. You can write a program as if you were going to do the input through
keyboard, and then set the input file as the standard input. The following
works on linux and windows:

int main(void){
int c;
cin  c;
cout  (c+1)  endl;
}

The program above uses cin, which is the stream reader for the standard
input (usually the keyboard).
If instead of doing the input using the keyboard you want to use a number
written on file input.txt, you can just do:

app.exe  input.txt

The cout object will output the results to the standard output (usually your
screen), but you can also throw it into a file. For example:

app.exe  input.txt  output.txt

In the case above, the output of your program app.exe for the input in
input.txt will be written into the file output.txt.

Here I used C++, but that works with most programming languages.

Hope it helps

So if I practice, won't my results be real?
I hope Google will never know that I've cheated a lot last year (since I've
practiced a lot before the contest).

Oops!

I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work,
there. I think that somebody who has today never looked at a previous
test will get a huge benefit from looking at one of the past papers
and making sure she understands how to read and write the required
format and that he can submit one solution.

 He has an strategy, keep others from practicing ;-).
 Practice is the only way to get better at anything. Would you tell a
 insert favorite sport here player to stay away from practices, because is
 better to see how well he/she does during a real match? Even the most
 naturally talented individual will be easily beaten by a slightly less
 talented one that practices enough.
