CHINA dominate india in computer programming coding contest

[AerospaceEngineer]

CHINA dominated the NSA-Backing coding contest:



"With about 4,200 people participating in a US National Security Agency-supported international competition on everything from writing algorithms to designing components, 20 of the 70 finalists were from China , 10 from Russia, and 2 from the US. China's showing in the finals was helped by its large number of entrants, 894. India followed at 705, but none of its programmers was a finalist. Russia had 380 participants; the United States, 234; Poland, 214; Egypt, 145; and Ukraine, 128. Participants in the TopCoder Open was open to anyone, from student to professional; the contest proceeded through rounds of elimination that finished this month in Las Vegas. Rob Hughes, president and COO of TopCoder, says the strong finish by programmers from China, Russia, Eastern Europe and elsewhere is indicative of the importance those countries put on mathematics and science education. 'We do the same thing with athletics here that they do with mathematics and science there.'"

[JanjaWeed]

sounds more like one of those miss universe kinda contest.... the one which not many takes seriously!!

Apparently you don't know the difference between IT and real programming.

India is an IT powerhouse. Russia is a programming powerhouse.

Not surprising. American programmers are pretty bad.

Not surprising. American programmers are pretty bad.

Surely they can't be that bad. Perhaps you mean pretty bad at charity?
