The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is an algorithmic programming contest, where the best brains compete annually. More than 60,000 student programmers from more than 3,000 universities from up to 115 countries participate in qualifying rounds each year, and only the best of them reach the finals. Participants go on to receive job offers from technology leaders or launch their own startups. Succesful winners include Adam DâAngelo (Quora Co-founder, former CTO of Facebook.), Nikolai Durov (VK and Telegram Co-founder), Matei Zaharia Professor at Stanford University, Databricks Co-founder. Every contest problem is presented in a real-life scenario. ICPC World Finals problem sets have contained problems to optimize subway schedules, model air traffic control, analyze logic circuits, optimize fence placement, track robot movements, map race courses, simulate airport luggage collection, estimate oil reserves, and so on. This format of the contest is considered to be one of the most challenging: the participants are required not only to solve the problems correctly and know the algorithms perfectly but also to distribute the roles in the team competently. ICPC World Finals supports only four languages, C/C++, Kotlin, Java, and Python. https://worldfinals.icpc.global/about/
