    Yeah surely it will make a huge difference in rating but it will get more and more harder

    as each coding challenge passes.

    Not only 1000 points, we get the registration points along with the level acceleration points. So its a huge scoring mechanism.

    You are right to have a gr8 chances of getting high score in a programming contest , but you have to be aware of using that devsquare compiler , it will be new to maximum users . Do try the sample test b4 you start attempting the contest .

     

    So Best of Luck

    Also try to be as accurate as possible. Coz more you compile more you loose points.

    accuracy has nothing to do wid the no. of compilations u perform...but its ur program logic that matters when accuracy is evaluated...

    No. of compilation does affect your scoring

    Evaluation criteria for the Coding Challenge will be as follows:
    • Coding Accuracy:
      1. Does the solution give the expected result?
      2. Does your solution handle all possible valid inputs?
      3. How does your solution handle invalid inputs or exceptions?.
    • Coding Efficiency:
      1. How many lines of code does your solution consist of?
    • Coding Productivity:
      1. Was the solution arrived at by trial-and-error?
      2. DevSquare records each compilation request sent to the server. The more times the code is compiled the less the score on this parameter.
