Dyalog has announced the winners of the 2009 Worldwide Programming Contest.
First prize went to Ronald Chan. The judges commented:
Ronald’s submission showed impressive insight and analysis of the problems and the underlying mathematics, good use of classes. His submission ran considerably faster than any other entry. Ronald documented his solutions very well and many of his solutions were of a form to solve more general problems than the specific Project Euler problem presented. His efforts included error checking to capture invalid inputs.
Second place went to Chris King:
What set Chris’ entry apart was the brevity and compactness of his solutions. He made extensive use of operators, reduction, composition, power and limit. A good example of APL as a tool of thought.
Third place was taken by Maks Verver:
Maks had a commendable entry with good documentation, good use of APL, and good insight into the problems presented.
Vector congratulates the winners and looks forward to seeing Ronald in Princeton next month.
