HackerEarth Data Structures and Algorithms Challenge April 2020
By RishabhKejariwal, history, 5 years ago, In English

Hello Community,

It gives me immense pleasure to invite you all to yet another coding contest by HackerEarth called Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). This is a 1.5 hour contest with 3 questions to solve.

The problems of April 2020 edition are classic and educational as against being creative and challenging. So, if you're learning new things, don't miss the DSA contests.

Problem setting panel includes Sparsh Sanchorawala spar5h, Robin Singh _fUncTiOn and Rishabh Kejariwal RishabhKejariwal.

Tester for the Contest is AmirReza PoorAkhavan Arpa.

The contest would go live on April 11th 4:00AM UTC

Link to the contest!!!

Good Luck & High Ratings!!!

PS:

This is a rated contest.

There are no prizes for this contest.

Why there is long queue issue on Hackerearth, during all short contests. It is too frustating. Also, if you have a correct solution, which is evaluated after the contest ended, due to long queues, the leaderboard isn't even updated. It has happened to me in my last 5-6 short contests. Hackerearth, please try to remove the problem of long queues. Also, please update the leaderboard in every short contest, after all submissions of the contest get evaluated. I had queried to the support team, but they told "it's updated", but the "rating delta" didn't change. I queried again, but "no reply". Also, in today's DSA July 2020 Contest, my positive score solutions were submitted in the last 1/2 hr of the contest (which got evaluated after the contest ended), so their score isn't updated in the Leaderboard yet. (My Actual Score: 193/300, My Curr. Rank: 659 (justifying "0" score), My Actual Rank should be: 30-50). Please, look into these issues, as soon as possible.

UPD: The leaderboard got updated (at 1:16 PM IST, after I queried the Support Team). But, still, "long queues" are an issue, please look into them, thanks!

    Arpa will destroy the career of Hackerearth in CP.

    Also, if there are many queries regarding "long queue" during the contest, they should try to resolve it (I believe, they try to do that), but if it doesn't get resolved, please try to make contest unrated (for everyone). I mean that is the basic gesture, followed by nearly all good CP websites, regarding long queues, so why not Hackerearth too. We certainly get it that issues may arise, which lead to long queues, but you can clear it by making the contest unrated. Arpa

    Here is the initial answer I got from the team: "It was reported internally. The Engineering team is looking at it."
