Overview
The APL Challenge is a quarterly event during which you can use APL to solve up to ten problems. It is aimed at newcomers to APL, although anyone is welcome to enter.
For each round, three prizes of USD 100 will be awarded, with chances of winning increasing based on the number of correct entries submitted.
Rounds begin in February, May, August, and November and last for three months. Winners will be announced within three weeks of the end of a round.
Anyone can win a prize except Dyalog employees/associates and problem set contributors/testers.
Details
APL is a programming language that will change the way you think about solving problems. You don’t need to know any APL or programming at all to participate in this challenge; the question texts will teach you everything you need to know to progress. To do this, we have kept what we teach very simple, even though APL is slightly more complicated than what we describe.
There are four rounds of the APL Challenge each year. You don’t need to participate in an earlier round to participate in the current one. Each round has ten problems and runs for three months, after which Dyalog Ltd awards three USD 100 prizes. You don’t have to answer every question, but your chance of winning increases as you answer more questions.
If you’re interested but don’t want to participate in this round, please register anyway (using the button at the top) so that we can notify you of updates and tell you about future rounds. You can ask us to stop sending you emails at any time.
