CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming, and programming contests. At CodeChef, our dedicated efforts are aimed at reviving the inner geek within you, as we proudly host a thrilling programming (coding) contest every Wednesday.<\/p>\n
CodeChef Starters is a short programming contest which takes place on every Wednesday\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our contests are open to all programmers across the globe.<\/p>\n
The idea behind these programming contests is that we want you to learn while competing. Also, we believe that it is alright to refer to tutorials, books, and other materials, learn a concept, and then apply the same to solve a problem during a contest. But it is not alright to copy other people's solutions or seek other people's help to solve a problem. <\/strong>All the participants are expected to abide to CodeChef's Code Of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note: You can now \"Code, Compile, and Run\" your codes on our Online IDE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, if you are using any other online development environment, make sure that other contestants don't have access to your code. As a contestant, you are responsible for making sure others don't access the code that you submit. If you use Ideone, make sure to mark your submission \"private\" (not secret)\".<\/p>","time":{"start":1761143400,"end":1761150600,"freezing":0,"current":1761370410},"ip":"2603:7000:3900:1358:3959:b692:6cf3:cb03","announcements":" CodeChef \u00d7 Coding Club League (2025-26)<\/strong> Benefits for Clubs:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","problemsstats":{"attempted":[],"partially_solved":[],"solved":[],"locked":[]},"todos":[],"stats":null,"partial_scores":[],"isRanklistFrozen":false,"rank_and_score":{"score":"NA","rank":"NA"},"is_a_parent_contest":true,"is_contest_elements_visible":true,"is_OTP_required":false,"is_linked_problems_contest":"0","custom_contest_page_title":"","custom_contest_page_meta_desc":"","contest_introduction":"https:\/\/discuss.codechef.com\/t\/invitation-to-codechef-starters-209-rated-upto-5-stars-22nd-october\/124401","contest_editorials":"https:\/\/discuss.codechef.com\/tag\/start209","contest_video_editorials":"","is_older_rating_based_division_system":false,"division_generation":3,"isAssessmentContest":false,"penalisedUsersCount":0,"ttl":60,"child_contests":{"div_1":{"div":{"div_number":"1","code":"div_1","min_rating":2000,"max_rating":50000,"name":"Division 1","description":"Users with rating above 2000"},"division_generation":3,"contest_code":"START209A","contest_link":"\/START209A"},"div_2":{"div":{"div_number":"2","code":"div_2","min_rating":1600,"max_rating":1999,"name":"Division 2","description":"Users with rating between 1600 and 1999"},"division_generation":3,"contest_code":"START209B","contest_link":"\/START209B"},"div_3":{"div":{"div_number":"3","code":"div_3","min_rating":1400,"max_rating":1599,"name":"Division 3","description":"Users with rating upto 1599"},"division_generation":3,"contest_code":"START209C","contest_link":"\/START209C"},"div_4":{"div":{"div_number":"4","code":"div_4","min_rating":0,"max_rating":1399,"name":"Division 4","description":"Users with rating upto 1399"},"division_generation":3,"contest_code":"START209D","contest_link":"\/START209D"}},"user_rating_div":{"rating":-1,"div":{"code":"all","min_rating":0,"max_rating":50000,"name":"All","description":"All the users"}},"user_contest_code":null,"show_div_based_contest":false,"is_registration_enabled_contest":false,"is_flexi_time_contest":false,"duration":"120","is_proctored":false,"autoRefresh":true,"visitedContests":[]}Rules and Regulations:<\/h4>\n
