ACMSolver :: Art of Programming Contest, Tips and Tricks for C, C++, Java

On Algolist.net you will find articles on the subjects of data structures, algorithms and programming concepts. Each and every article is supplemented with code snippets in both C++ and Java, so you can turn to the practice right after reading a tutorial. For the very beginners we developed articles about how to install a development environment and to write simple applications.

• Data StructuresData structures, ADT’s and implementations.
• Algorithms and programming conceptsSorting algorithms, algorithms on graphs, number-theory algorithms and programming concepts.
• C++: tools and code samplesHow to install a development environment and start programming with C++.
• Books: reviews and TOCsFind books you need for offline reading.
• SitemapLinks to all articles in alphabetical order.
• ForumAsk questions and discuss various programming issues.

“(…)In the spirit of Steven Halim’s World of Seven: Methods to Solve website, that posted the solutions to hundreds of problems for the University of Valladolid (UVa) Online Judge website, we have decided to not only tackle UVa problems in preparation of ACM ICPC competition, but also to post the answers that we find for each problem in the hope that our repository of solutions will be as great an informational resource to programmers everywhere as Steven’s was.

Who are we? Two students majoring in Computing Science from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.(…)”
