C#, C++, Java and Python = Single Success!

Congratulations to Lucas West (Year 11) who participated in the New Zealand Programming Contest held on Saturday, 17 August 2024, at Auckland University.

Despite his two teammates dropping out for various reasons, Lucas was undeterred and competed solo.

The contest featured problems worth 3, 10, 30, and 100 points.

Lucas first tackled a 10-point problem and then solved a 3-point problem.

To solve a problem, a team (or in this case, Lucas) has to write a solution in one of the available languages (usually C#, C++, Java and Python) and submit it to the automatic judging system.

Lucas performed admirably and expressed satisfaction with his performance, describing the experience as rewarding and valuable.
