Students were selected by their schools to compete because of their excellence in computer programming, said Mark Holliday, professor of computer science and contest co-director in WCU’s department of mathematics and computer science.
Each team will be given four problems to solve, and solutions must be programs written in the Java programming language, Holliday said. Java is the language used in the high school advanced placement computer science curriculum. Plaques will be awarded to the top three teams.
Sponsored by the department of mathematics and computer science, the competition will be held from 10 a.m. to noon in WCU’s electronic classrooms. Awards will be presented at 1:45 p.m. in Room of 434 of Stillwell Building.
Local schools entered in the contest, including faculty sponsors, are: Carolina Day School, sponsored by David Fortney; McDowell High School, sponsored by Richard Lindsey; Reynolds High School, sponsored by Jeff Wilson; The Asheville School, sponsored by Charles Long; and West Henderson High School, sponsored by Larry Ashcraft.
