Algorithmic problem tournament

A coding contest is a competition where programmers solve algorithmic problems under time pressure.

Participants write code to pass automated test cases, with rankings based on speed, correctness, or elegance of solutions.

Contests range from online platforms like Codeforces to prestigious events like the International Collegiate Programming Contest: She placed third in the coding contest.
