What is gfsscc-solutions?

This repository holds solution code for the 2023 Glenforest Christmas Invitational, a competitive programming contest hosted by the Glenforest Secondary School Computer Science Club on the DMOJ online judge platform. The contest took place on December 19, 2023, with teams from multiple schools in the Peel District School Board competing against each other. The author was part of the winning team. The contest consisted of four problems with festive names like "Fat Santa," "Candy Cane Catastrophe," "Reindeer Searching," and "Scenic Skiing." Each problem was worth 100 points, arranged in roughly increasing difficulty, and the repository provides working solutions in both Python and C++. The README links to screenshots or images of the problems themselves, so you can see what was being asked alongside the code that answers it. This would be useful for students learning competitive programming who want to study how others approached these specific problems. For example, if you are preparing for similar contests like the Canadian Computing Competition, reading through someone else's working solutions can help you understand problem-solving strategies and coding patterns. Teachers running coding clubs might also use it as reference material when coaching their own teams. The README does not go into detail about the reasoning behind each solution or how the code works internally, so you would need to read the code itself to understand the approaches used. It is straightforward reference material rather than a tutorial or teaching resource.
