CodeStar Contest is an online contest organized by AlphaStar Academy in association with HackerEarth. It is intended for pre-college students. This 3 hour individual contest consists of 8 problems, which are roughly arranged by difficulty. They are all algorithmic problems that vary in difficulty from very easy to hard. Easy problems can be done even with basic programming skills. Each problem is given the same weight, thus it is in your best interest to solve the easiest problems first.
