Olympiad conditions

Computer Science and Programming Olympiad - intellectual competitions for solving various problems on computers, for solving which it is necessary to come up with and apply any program and/or algorithm in one of the programming languages.

University programming olympiads have been held since the early 80s for students with the development and testing of programs on jury tests. The winner of one of the first programming olympiads was Boris Nuraliev, founder of 1C.

Olympiads are held in order to identify the most talented and capable people in the field of programming, as well as to arouse interest in programming. Winners and prize-winners of Olympiads receive diplomas and the right to enter leading universities for computer specialties without exams.

Participation in the Olympiads in computer science and programming is considered successful if the participants were able to solve the assigned tasks on the computer by compiling a program and checking it on the computer on tests provided by the jury.

The solution of the problem is considered correct if the computer gives the correct results on (all) jury tests. The algorithm (program) contains errors if on some tests the computer gives failures, failures or incorrect results. The winners of the Olympiads make algorithms and programs with almost no errors.

Many years of practice of holding olympiads and championships in computer science and programming show that the winners are those and only those students and schoolchildren who have learned how to compile algorithms and programs without errors.

At the Russian regional Internet Olympiads in computer science, competitions are held in three rounds: the first two rounds are testing students' knowledge of the Unified State Exam in computer science, and the third round is solving computer science problems with testing the correctness of programs.

To solve Olympiad problems on computers, Pascal and C languages ​ ​ are used at programming Olympiads, and Basik (freebasic interpreter) and Pascal (freepascal compiler) languages ​ ​ are used at computer Olympiads.

Winners and prize-winners of Olympiads in computer science receive diplomas and the right to enter universities without exams for computer specialties, and participants who have successfully passed the USE tests are counted when entering a university.
