Hi everyone!

I would like to invite you to participate in July Easy at HackerEarth. The contest is scheduled to start at 1st July, 2200 hrs IST.

There will be six tasks in the problemset, for beginners in competitive coding. This contest is a Rated contest and open for all.

I hope that everyone from beginners to experienced contestants will be able to find some problem that challenges and interests them.

flatline and arjundabra are the authors of this problemset. The testing was done by me(harshil). Editorials have been written by rick_c137.

As always, r3gz3n was a great help, and I would like to thank him for taking care of all the technical aspects of contest preparation.

While problem solving is rewarding enough on its own, there will be some added incentive for you to do well.

Top3 of leaderboard will receive some nice prizes:

  1. $100 Amazon gift card + HackerEarth T-shirt

  2. $75 Amazon gift card + HackerEarth T-shirt

Hi everyone!

I would like to invite you to participate in April Clash at HackerEarth. The contest is scheduled to start at April 22, 2300 hrs IST. The contest will last for 24 hours so everyone should be able to find some time to comfortably participate.

There will be six tasks in the problemset. Five of them are standard algorithmic problems with partial solutions allowed — you get points for every test that your solution passed. And the last task is an approximate problem — your score for this task depends on how good your solution is compared to the current best solution.

architrai, vedaanta, akshay_miterani, k_sudharsan,me (harshil) and Abhinav Gupta are the authors of this problemset. The testing was done by me (harshil), Xsquare and Arterm

I hope that everyone from beginners to experienced contestants will be able to find some problem that challenges and interests them. In case you find all problems too easy there is always the approximate challenge to tackle.
