UO Community Coding Challenges

Private community challenges will be created and hosted on the CodeSignal platform every so often and this repository will serve as a place for the challenge solutions to be uploaded for reference 1 week after the challenge has been posted.

The platform provides an IDE for countless languages and the challenge creator will provide unit test cases for the challenge to run against. Once you are confident in your solution and the test cases are successful, first submit your solution to the challenge on CodeSignal, and then optionally submit them to this repository using the guidelines below.

If you do not have an account on CodeSignal, you can register at their website or login with your GitHub account.

Repository Submissions (optional)

Challenge solutions must be submitted as pull requests that will be approved by the repository owners.

For each challenge, a user's submission will be in a sub-directory using their UO username.

Example
My submission for challenge 1 on this repository would be in the file structure like...

code-challenges
  |- 1
  | |- Synxe
  |   |- solution.cpp
  |- ...
