HOMEWORK BEFORE WEEK 10
On week 10 we are going to learn about geometry. In programming competitions, geometry problems are typically meant to measure the contestant's implementation power. However, we will be nice and mostly have tasks that have clean solutions. Read into the basics of geometry in chapter 29 of the Competitive Programmer’s Handbook. Also, familiarize yourself with sweeping line algorithms that come up in Chapter 30. You can exercise with the tasks of the "Geometry" -section of the CSES Problemset.
MONDAY CONTEST
On Monday (November 14), we will have a solo contest.
The contest will be available at cses.fi/420/list/. The contest will automatically open at 16.20 sharp, and it will end at 17.50 sharp. Please make sure you use your personal CSES user account to take part in the contest.
