Soutěž

„Soutěž“ is a Czech term that translates to „competition“ in English. In the context of computer science, it often refers to events where individuals or teams compete against each other to solve problems, develop software, or create algorithms within a specific timeframe. These competitions can take various forms, including coding contests, hackathons, and cybersecurity challenges.

Participants are usually tasked with completing a series of problems or projects which may involve writing code, optimizing algorithms, or developing creative software solutions. The outcomes are typically judged based on criteria such as correctness, efficiency, creativity, and presentation of the solutions.

Competitions serve to foster skills in programming, algorithmic thinking, and teamwork, and they often encourage innovation while providing networking opportunities for participants. Notable examples include competitions such as the ACM ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest), Google Code Jam, and various local or online hackathons.
