Notes:
- Note that the cost for faculty sponsors has gone up to $10 (from $5 last
year).
Sponsors now receive T-shirts, as well as the team members.
- All T-shirts will be extra large size.
- Regarding Java: Students may need to know how to take console input (like
the
scanf( ) function in C). This is not as trivial in Java as in the other
languages,
but we feel that Java offers other features that more than make
up for this difficulty.
We will not be supplying teams with a standard
wrapper for Java I/O. We will accept
workarounds for the console input if
appropriate (like using the command line to pass
arguments to a batch
system) but there are no guarantees as to how many problems console
input
will not be necessary on.
- Regarding the AP classes: We have been told that the AP Computer Science
class has
a custom set of wrapper classes for common data types and that AP
teachers have been
discouraged from using the atomic data types. Since the
Java language has similar
wrappers built in and because we are told use of
the AP classes is mandatory for AP
students, we will allow these classes in
competition.
- There will be no Javabots competition with this year’s HSPC. We are sorry
for the
delay, but our Javabot server and SDK are being worked on.
Hopefully Javabots will return
next year.
