Hello all
The purpose of this project is to help students develop their problem solving and programming skills through preparation for and participation in programming contests.
I will construct a new programming problem every month. Then we'll meet in a month to compare our results and discuss solutions to the problem.
If you need any assistance on the solution or getting the program right, please contact me.
