----------------------------------- That Asian Guy Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:38 pm What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- For me, C#. ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:56 pm RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- The only language I would ever write a contest in, C++! ----------------------------------- konnetikut Thu Feb 25, 2010 6:11 pm RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- Wrote in Java last year. Tried to learn C++ last week; gave up and wrote in Java again. Will of course learn C++ if I make it to stage 2 ;P ----------------------------------- Shanethe13 Thu Feb 25, 2010 6:16 pm RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- Java. I wanted to do it in Haskell, but it doesn't seem like that's an option. ----------------------------------- TerranceN Thu Feb 25, 2010 6:45 pm RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- C++... I practiced on the past senior problems, which when taking more than one input from a file, it took input up to the next space or new line. I chickened out (as I can also write it next year) and took the junior competition, which requires console input, of which I only know cin.getLine(). I did not realize until j3 that more than one input would be placed on one line, so I had to learn, during the competition, how to tokenize a string in C++. Of course I made errors in pointer arithmetic, and it ended up taking me 45-60 minutes to make a tokenizer, which is why I only had 20 minutes to try and do j5, which I failed to do. I kinda wish I would have picked senior... ----------------------------------- DtY Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:44 pm RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- Python, I did a bunch of practise questions in C, but I had no idea how to do any of this set in C (without wasting needed time) #include int main(void) { int somenthing; cin >> something; return 0; } Will read a single integer, and then can be used again to get the next, not mattering if it's on the same line, or the next (ignores whitespace) ----------------------------------- That Asian Guy Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:39 pm Re: RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- C++...

I've never had an issue with them (well, I did once, but that was caused by me not knowing the order of operations with unary reference operator, and array indexing operator). I generally avoid pointer arithmetic though, in a loop I'll use change an integer, and use that to retrieve array indices, instead of storing a pointer to the array index I'm working with. According to Google, this is fast enough on a modern computer to warrant having no support for pointer arithmetic in Go, so that's good enough for me :) [edit] I guess there's very little relevancy in this post. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:56 pm RE:What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- I used Ruby. I had a lot of reviewing to do on it during the contest, looking up methods and such, so I only had time for S1 and S2. Was worth it though. First contest not in Turing or Java! ----------------------------------- SS1389 Sat Nov 27, 2010 3:06 pm Re: What Language Did You Write the CCC in? ----------------------------------- I haven't written it yet, but I plan to definitely use Java.
