USACO Practice Solutions

Solutions to past USACO algorithmic coding challenges. For more information about USACO & how to participate in the actual competition, see the [resources] directory & the USACO website.

To contribute:

1. Verify that your code receives a perfect [10/10] score on USACO's analysis mode (check in with us on slack if you're having trouble)

2. Try to document your code & methods as well as possible (within reason), so that others can understand your approach

3. In the first line of your source code, place a comment with a link to the USACO problem it solves in square brackets

   • Python Ex: #Solves [http://usaco.org/index.php?page=viewproblem2&cpid=567]

4. Add & Commit to the master branch your single source file with the filename format:

   • YYYY-MM_level_challengeName_nameTag.extension
   • Ex: 2015-12_bronze_fencePainting_benbroce3.py

Please don't submit solutions to competitions until after they are over

(Wait 1-2 days after the last contest day to be safe)

Please don't modify others' files without their permission.

Report any formatting errors, suggestions, or inappropriate use as an issue.
