This is a special round for which we’ve joined forces with the world-famous ICPC, the International Collegiate Programming Contest. It’s a rare chance to test your skills and see how you compare to some of the brightest coding minds.
Kotlin Heroes is fun for everyone regardless of their level of programming experience, and every participant has an equal chance of winning a prize!
What is Kotlin Heroes
Kotlin Heroes is a Kotlin-only coding contest created and hosted by JetBrains and Codeforces, the most popular platform for coding competitions. The previous four rounds attracted more than 4000 participants, including tourist, Egor, Benq, eatmore, Golovanov399, Petr, ecnerwala, and other famous competitive programming champions.
This is a great opportunity to learn about Kotlin’s capabilities, as well as a chance to practice coding and adopt a powerful modern programming language.
