My solutions to challenges on Kattis

Kattis Solutions

What is this?

This repository contains my solutions to the programming challenges found on Kattis.

All the solutions are accepted by Kattis. I strive to make the solutions as readable as I can. But be aware that I'm using this project to learn Python and get better at solving algorithmic challenges so the solutions may not be the most Pythonic or optimal.

How to find the related problem?

The file name is the problem's name on Kattis. You can find the problem by substituting [filename] with the name of the file: https://open.kattis.com/problems/[filename]

Example: hello.py solves the problem of https://open.kattis.com/problems/hello

How to run?

All these solution are solved with Python 3.6+. You can run the solutions by passing the solution file to Python in a terminal like this:

> python hello.py

Most solutions need input. To provide the input, run the solution like before and paste the data into the buffer like this:

> python bestcompression.py
13 3

You can also store the data in a file and redirect it to the program. With a file named bestcompression-data.py containing "13 3", you can do it like this:

> python bestcompression.py < bestcompression-data.py

Support of Python 2

Notice that Python 2 is not able to run these solutions because Python 2 and 3 handle input() differently and all solutions use it (except hello.py).
