Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest 2023

About NCPC 2023 The Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest (NCPC) is an annual team-based programming competition aimed at university and college students from the Nordic and Baltic countries. NCPC is suitable for programmers of all skill levels, from beginner to expert. The contest features a well-rounded problem set with a mix of easy and challenging problems. Teams are allowed only one computer, and are not allowed to surf through the internet. Problems Solved Problem C: Converting Romans Statement of Problem C: Converting Romans Once I read this problem, I directly went to code it in the computer as it seemed easy. I coded the usual roman to decimal converter, but then I noticed that they asked for a simpler version of the problem: “we will subtract any digit written to the left of a larger digit, even if they are not directly adjacent.” making the problem easier. I had a couple of little issues with the slight modification of the problem, but eventually I managed to solve it. This was the first problem we managed to get it right.
