Syllabus of IOI
The syllabus for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) covers a range of topics related to algorithmic problem-solving and programming. The following is a general overview of the typical subjects covered in the IOI syllabus:
Category | Topics |
---|---|
Basic Programming | Variables, data types, input/output, conditional statements, loops, functions, recursion, basic standard template library (STL) usage. |
Mathematics | Number theory, basic combinatorics, modular arithmetic, prime numbers, basic geometry. |
Data Structures | Arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, hash tables, graphs, etc. |
Number Theory | Modular arithmetic, greatest common divisor (GCD), least common multiple (LCM), modular inverses, Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). |
Greedy Algorithms | Basic principles, applications in optimization problems, interval scheduling, Huffman coding. |
Dynamic Programming | Basic principles, memoization, tabulation, applications in optimization problems. |
Graph Algorithms | Depth-First Search (DFS), Breadth-First Search (BFS), Dijkstra’s algorithm, Floyd-Warshall algorithm, Kruskal’s algorithm, Prim’s algorithm, topological sorting. |
Combinatorics | Counting principles, permutations, combinations, inclusion-exclusion principle, generating functions. |
Geometry | Basic geometry concepts, convex hull, line-sweep algorithms. |
Game Theory | Introduction to game theory, minimax algorithm. |
Online Judge Practice | Problem-solving on online judges such as Codeforces, AtCoder, HackerRank, etc. |
It is important to note that the specific topics covered in the IOI syllabus may vary slightly from year to year. Additionally, the difficulty level increases with each IOI competition, so participants are expected to have a strong understanding of these topics and be able to apply their knowledge to solve challenging problems.
The syllabus gets updated, so it becomes important to regularly update yourself with the official website.
