Teams awarded certificates at Armenian ICPC Quarterfinals
Teams that took part in the Armenian International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) quarterfinals, held at Yerevan State University, were presented with certificates in recognition of their participation.
In the Armenian ICPC quarterfinals, YSU team "Good Knight" (team members: Samvel Andreasyan, Robert Kocharyan, Hamlet Petrosyan, coach: Armen Andreasyan) secured first place by solving 10 out of the 13 tasks presented. YSU teams "Very Serious Round", "Improvis", and "Binary Bullets", each solving six tasks, took second, third, and fourth places respectively.
The winning teams from YSU, consisting of students from various faculties, demonstrated their strong preparation, quick thinking, and the ability to find correct solutions rapidly. They were not only familiar with programming languages, but also with approaches to solving tasks efficiently, which played a crucial role in their success.
According to the contest results, the university students have qualified for the semi-finals and will leave for Tbilisi tomorrow to continue their competition on the international stage.
YSU Professor and Advisor to the President of Armenia, Vahram Dumanyan, who is also the Armenian Regional Contents Director of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), congratulated all the teams after presenting them with certificates, wishing them further victories.
Following the awarding ceremony, representatives from JetBrains, one of the sponsors of the ICPC and a well-known international organization in the field of information technology, presented their company's activities to students from YSU Faculty of Informatics and Applied Mathematics. They shared insights into their projects, career opportunities, and innovations in programming that are being used by developers worldwide. During the visit, they also delivered a lecture titled "The Second Step of Being a Good Developer," discussing the features of programming languages, their applications, and the impact of modern technologies on the programming world.
The students were given the opportunity to ask questions and delve deeper into this important topic, which will help them improve their programming skills.
