本发明涉及到一种用于提供编码竞赛的方法和装置。在一个实施例中，一种用于提供编码竞赛的方法包括向竞赛者传递编码问题、接收由竞赛者所建立的计算机代码、确定计算机代码对测试数据的响应、以及评估计算机代码对测试数据的响应。在另一个实施例中，一种评估竞赛者技能水平的方法包括电子地将编码问题通信到竞赛者、电子地接收来自竞赛者之一的响应于编码问题的软件程序、评估所接收的软件程序、基于所接收的软件程序向竞赛者授予分数、以及基于授予竞赛者的分数值确定竞赛者的竞赛等级。 This invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a coding competition. In one embodiment, a method for providing a coding competition includes transmitting a coding problem to contestants, receiving computer code created by a contestant, determining a response of the computer code to test data, and evaluating the response of the computer code to the test data. In another embodiment, a method for evaluating a skill level of a contestant includes electronically communicating a coding problem to contestants, electronically receiving a software program in response to the coding problem from one of the contestants, evaluating the received software program, awarding points to the contestant based on the received software program, and determining a rating for the contestant for the competition based on the number of points awarded to the contestant.
