Google Code Jam 2022 Round 1C Screencast | Live-Coding & Commentary

This is my go at the three problems of Google Code Jam 2022 Round 1C.

Task A was quite easy to grasp but not that straight-forward to implement as it consists of a few edge cases. Task B was actually solvable in very few lines of code after realizing some neat math behind it. Problem C on the other hand was again brutally hard, with only 9 solves of the large test set. At the end of the video I give an overview of the solution to problem C from the analysis and I will record a separate video explaining in more depth the solution and implementation of this task.

If you like this kind of problem-solving and live coding, please leave a like or even a small comment, perhaps with some critical feedback. Also, if you wish some specific content, e.g. an explanation of a specific problem/algorithm you came across, please let me know and I'll do my best and give it a go.
If you do not want to miss future videos, ring the notification bell.
And of course, the YouTube algorithm will show you more of these videos of me and other creators, if you subscribe to this channel.

--CODE TEMPLATE--
For my solves, I created a code template that gets updated and is optimized for the Google Code Jam and Kick Start competition. You can check it out and use it. I created a video tutorial in order to showcase the most important features: https://bit.ly/32ET8z0 The code template itself can be found on GitHub: https://bit.ly/39oTspl

--ABOUT ME--
Hi! I am David Emmerichs and one of Germany's most skilled problem solvers and competitive programmers on algorithmic puzzles! I have represented Germany multiple times as part of a team of 6 students at different international competitions, the International Mathematical Olympiad, the International Physics Olympiad, and the PLANCKS competition.
I ranked also quite high in the Google Code Jam competition in the last years with one of my bests being 2017 and reaching rank 164 worldwide in the last online round.
