CSC 385 Competitive Programming

This course allows students to hone their general programming skills while learning techniques to design and implement programs to solve a specific problem as quickly as possible. Programming in 'competitive' environments, such as programming contests, is one place such skills are especially useful. However, the same skills are valuable in many situations across a wide variety of disciplines. Students in the course are expected to complete weekly programming tasks, culminating in a local programming context where they will have a chance to compete for a spot on the school's regional programming contest team. Pre-requisite: CSC 252.
