But these factors are not unique to C++; what matters is its speed. A few milliseconds could be the difference between and accepted solution and time limit exceeded. Anyways, here's the code, about two weeks late, written in the "conventional" C++ style, as opposed to the condensed, macro-abusing style of competitive programmers. + + + + +| Factor | Rating | Description | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Speed | 3 | Very fast after compilation, nearly as fast as C, and faster than a lot of programming languages even counting compilation | +| Documentation | 3 | Not that I used any when writing this program, but there a lot of good resources out there, such as [cplusplus.com](www.cplusplus.com) | +| General | 3 | C++ has its flaws, but for some applications such as competitive programming, it's unbeatable | + + +Be on the lookout for Part 2, Python!
