Silent, recalling the Three-Year competition of informatics in high school

Only when I was in the second year of high school, I attended a informatics competition. It was the first time that our school participated in the competition for Informatics. At that time, our computer teacher a called me and asked me if I was in a mood to participate. I learned that it was my first departure from the school. Of course I promised to go there. So I helped teacher a find several other contestants and finally attended about 6-7 training sessions. BB and QF are also in the column.

The first theoretical course is very simple. It is all about the preliminary round. At that time, we registered to participate in the first round of the popularity group, so the questions were relatively simple. But in the end, many people quit. After all, many people do not catch a cold in this thing. So that there are only three people in the end: me, BB and QF.

Next is the computer tutoring course. According to the competition rules, the contestant's language selection is divided into Pascal class and basic class, and the semi-finals are Pascal class and C class. But I felt quite depressed when I wrote the semi-finals without the C language on the notification at that time... Since I had VB and C at that time, I naturally reported basic. Finally, I heard from instructor a that the topic of the popularity group for the preliminary round is the same... Cold one, so we must follow them to use Pascal on the computer. In fact, before I started my computer class, I had already abandoned VB and indulged in C/C ++. I hated the basic syntax and became even more disgusted with Pascal's cumbersome syntax, however, my score is obviously the best. After all, the syntax follows the same principle.

At that time, the homework for the computer class was very simple. It basically belongs to the entry level of the syntax, that is, it exists in any basic PASCAL Language tutorial, And there is basically no difficult algorithm problem. Of course, I do not have to study hard. As for QF and BB, to be honest, BB has a high talent. As a girl, it was really rare to learn programming so quickly (this talent was also reflected when BB learned C ++ with my help ). It is probably related to my father being a math teacher. Unfortunately, she missed the semi-finals. But BB was so smart that he went to Zhejiang University.

Speaking of the preliminary round, it's really easy. After all, it is a universal group, and basically the computer knowledge of the test site. I still remember that there was a stack issue, which is very earthy, that is, the order of a parking lot in and out of the car... After the test, I felt a little defeated because I couldn't remember the names of Pascal's functions, and I knew how to write but what the function name was, so I entered Chinese... It feels like you are cheated. After the test room came out, I found a cat in a small shop on the side of the road. It was very beautiful. I played with it for a while. But I couldn't see the cat when I passed there this year... I don't know if it is still alive.

Finally, QF and I entered the semi-finals. I won't talk about QF anymore. To be honest, he hardly understood this. It was unimaginable that the preliminary round had made him pass. The semi-finals were held in Liuzhou High School. Liuzhou and Nanning have participated in the event for many years. Both teachers, facilities, teaching theory, contestant quality and competition experience are much better than ours. The organizing committee arranged for the competition operator to stay in a bad hotel. It was estimated that the competition was tricky. Teacher A was very annoyed by the problem of insufficient hotel beds.

I am very happy to have a meeting with the team lead teacher in the evening. But sadly, I was the only one of the hundreds of contestants in the semi-finals who used the C language... Pascal's crowd looked at me like a monster.

I was surprised to participate in the semi-finals the next day: the Organizing Committee of the Guangxi Division did not prepare a compilation environment for the C language contestants! Full Screen IDE is the original Turbo Pascal. The C language has a big face here... To this end, the Organizing Committee postponed the competition, so I sat in a group of Pascal followers and waited for my beloved C IDE. Finally, I finally saw my ide. Turbo C 2. 0, old to slag. At that time, I always used the mingw core Dev C ++ at home, which was quite uncomfortable. There were four questions in total. At that time, I did not do any algorithm training, and I felt very difficult. Make only one... Then I found out that no one allowed me to secretly watch the Pascal player's screen. Don't I understand Pascal as a C player? Ridiculous. But they did not understand the C code I wrote. I asked them after the game. So they began to secretly translate their Pascal code into C code... The person on the left seems to be writing a mess. The person on the right has different algorithms than me and the person on the left... Finally, write only one question-the first question.

When I returned to the bus in Guilin, instructor a's cell phone encountered three hands. Fortunately, it was detected in time that the three hands slipped away. However, Teacher A is heartbroken about his brand-name suit. Fortunately, he hasn't been scratched.

Of course, the awards are simple. I will not mention them, but the school has offered a scholarship with a very small number. This is the first or the last time, and the experience of the Informatics Olympics has ended. After I graduated, I asked instructor a if I had to organize the next student to join the competition. His answer is "no ". No more students are as interested as I was at that time.
