The ACM ICPC (Association for Computing Machinery International Collegiate Programming Contest) is a prestigious competitive programming competition for university students worldwide. It challenges teams of three to solve complex algorithmic problems within a limited time frame, typically five hours. The contest promotes teamwork, problem-solving skills, and programming expertise.
Founded in 1970, the ACM ICPC has grown to include thousands of universities from over 100 countries. The competition consists of regional contests leading to a world finals event, where the best teams compete for the title. It serves as a platform for students to showcase their coding abilities and connect with industry professionals.
