- Teams are encouraged to practice on the HackerRank platform - (create an account as a “Developer”) ahead of the contest so as - to be familiar with how it works. Specifically, we encourage - students to complete at least a few easy problems on the - Algorithms - and/or - Data Structures - parts of the HackerRank Problem Solving section, so that they - will be comfortable with the platform. Another really good - platform for additional problem solving practice is - - Kattis - - (this is the one that BYU’s competitive programming team - generally practices on). -
