US resource and company, which organizes contests and also provides industrial problems as a kind of free-lance job; it offers dozens of short contests and several long (marathons) every year. Specific feature – participants have a chance to check correctness of other contestants solutions after coding phase and before final automatic testing (so called challenge phase).

The aim of competitive programming is to writesource codeof computer programs which are able to solve given problems. A vast majority of problems appearing in programming contests are mathematical or logical in nature. Typical such tasks belong to one of the following categories:combinatoricsnumber theorygraph theorygeometrystring analysisanddata structures. Problems related toartificial intelligenceare also popular in certain competitions.

Competitive programmingis amind sportusually held over theInternetor alocal network, involving participants trying toprogramaccording to provided specifications. Contestants are referred to as sport programmers. Competitive programming is recognized and supported by several multinational software and Internet companies, such asGoogle,[1][2]andFacebook.[3]There are several organizations who host programming competitions on a regular basis.
Irrespective of the problem category, the process of solving a problem can be divided into two broad steps: constructing an efficientalgorithm, and implementing the algorithm in a suitableprogramming language(the set of programming languages allowed varies from contest to contest). These are the two most commonly tested skills in programming competitions.

In most of the above competitions, since the number of contestants is quite large, competitions are usually organized in several rounds. They usually require online participation in all rounds except the last, which require onsite participation. A special exception to this is IEEEXtreme, which is a yearly 24-hour virtual programming competition. The top performers at IOI and ACM-ICPC receive gold, silver and bronze medals while in the other contests, cash prizes are awarded to the top finishers. Also hitting the top places in the score tables of such competitions may attract interest of recruiters from software and Internet companies.
A programming competition generally involves the host presenting a set oflogicalormathematicalproblems to the contestants (who can vary in number from tens to several thousands), and contestants are required to writecomputer programscapable of solving each problem. Judging is based mostly upon number of problems solved and time spent for writing successful solutions, but may also include other factors (quality of output produced, execution time, program size, etc.)

One of the oldest contests known isACM-ICPCwhich originated in the 1970s, and has grown to include 88 countries in its 2011 edition. Interest in competitive programming has grown extensively[quantify]since 2000, and is strongly connected to the growth of the Internet, which facilitates holding international contests online, eliminating geographical problems.

There are two types of competition formats: short-term and long-term. Each round of short-term competition lasts from 1 to 3 hours. Long-term competitions can last from a few days to a few months.

A programming website with articles and practice platform. The site is mainly targeted for programming interview preparation. It was started in 2009 and competitive programming platform Practice was added in 2015
Large collection of computational math problems (i.e. not directly related to programming but often requiring programming skills for solving).
In most contests, the judging is done automatically by host machines, commonly known as judges. Every solution submitted by a contestant is run on the judge against a set of (usually secret) test cases. Normally, contest problems have an all-or-none marking system, meaning that a solution is Accepted only if it produces satisfactory results on all test cases run by the judge, and rejected otherwise. However, some contest problems may allow for partial scoring, depending on the number of test cases passed, the quality of the results, or some other specified criteria. Some other contests only require that the contestant submit the output corresponding to given input data, in which case the judge only has to analyze the submitted output data.
