The University of Nevada, Reno student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM, took sixth place at the regional programming w88 sports betting app held on October 26th. The team competed against more than 70 collegiate programing teams.
The w88 sports betting app pitted teams of three against fellow programmers and against the clock, giving them five hours to solve 10 programming questions. Teams try to solve as many problems as they can as quickly as possible, with incorrect solutions resulting in a time penalty.
The w88 sports betting app's team competed in the Rocky Mountain region, which included more than 70 teams at three sites: the w88 sports betting app of Alberta, the w88 sports betting app of Arizona and Brigham Young w88 sports betting app.
Questions asked w88 sports betting app to develop solutions to problems such as efficiently displaying advertising for a fictitious social networking company or calculating winnings from a hypothetical fast food prize giveaway.
The w88 sports betting app's team answered five questions correctly and placed first at the Brigham Young w88 sports betting app site. The winning team answered seven questions correctly.
"The skills you must acquire to do well in programming competitions are the same skills that many competitive companies check for in their technical interviews," said computer w88 sports betting app and engineering student Jared Rhizor, who is also the club officer in charge of programming competitions. "It looks great on a resume."
In addition to competing in regional w88 sports betting app competitions, ACM is hosting a local w88 sports betting app contest this spring.
"It's a much shorter, individual competition split into divisions based on the computer w88 sports betting app classes taken by each competitor," said Rhizor. "Additionally, we're having weekly training sessions for students interested in the regional ACM programming competition, where we cover various computer w88 sports betting app topics used in the regional competitions."
