The Dyalog APL Problem Solving Competition.

The Dyalog APL Problem Solving Competition​ offers you the chance to compete for up to $6,500, plus an invitation to the annual Dyalog user meeting in Northern Ireland, UK!

Joining the competition is as easy as…

In Phase I of the competition you will be introduced to APL as you tackle 10 small problems that can each be solved using a single line of APL code.

Step 4: APL Phase II
Things start to heat up in Phase II. Here you will be challenged with a set of problems of varying complexity. You’ll code your solutions and upload a file containing the code.

You can choose to answer questions within one, or all, of the following categories:

● Cryptography
