## Introduction
In competitive programming contests, one must solve well-defined problems by writing computer programs under specified constraints ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_programming)). Typically, the most popular language is C++, followed by Java and Python.

A few reasons why choice of language matters significantly outside of bronze.
## Time Limit
Although both Python and Java receive two times the C++ time limit in USACO, this is not the case for most other websites (ex. CodeForces). Even with the extended time limits, Python and Java sometimes have trouble passing.
- Rewriting the C++ solution for [USACO Silver Wormsort](http://www.usaco.org/index.php?page=viewproblem2&cpid=992) in Python receives TLE (Time Limit Exceeded) on 2/10 cases.

## Other
- Python lacks a data structure that keeps its keys in sorted order (the equivalent of `set` in C++), which is required for some silver problems.
- Java lacks features such as `#define`, `typedef`, and `auto` that are present in C++ (which some contestants rely on extensively).
- Problemsetters don't always test Java solutions (and rarely Python) when setting the constraints.

# C++
## Command Line (Mac)
### Option 1
```
brew install gcc
```
According to [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30998890/installing-opencv-with-brew-never-finishes) if brew doesn't seem to finish for a long time then
```
brew install gcc --force-bottle
```
probably suffices.
### Option 2 (Old))
Follow the instructions [here](https://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/HUGG/GNU+compiler+install+on+Mac+OS+X?fbclid=IwAR3bnM6A_kTgXD2p5nOfVbxRRQ4nHMj89jllNy1-zdtfXfcq1czbSoXiWgE). Step 4 will give errors but it should still install.
### Confirmation
You should be able to compile with g++ or maybe g++-#, where # is the version number (currently 9). Running the following command:
```
g++-9 --version
```
should display something like this:
```
g++-9 (Homebrew GCC 9.2.0_2) 9.2.0
Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
```
## Shortcuts
Open your bash profile with a text editor such as gedit (or sublime text).
```
brew install gedit
gedit ~/.zshenv
```
You can add aliases and functions here, such as the following:
```
alias clr="clear"
alias ZES='source ~/.zshenv'
alias ZEO='subl ~/.zshenv'
alias IMPL='cd ~/Documents/GitHub/USACO/Implementations/'
co() {
g++-9 -std=c++11 -O2 -Wl,-stack_size -Wl,0x10000000 -Wall -Wextra -o $1 $1.cpp
}
run() {
co $1 && ./$1
}
```
Now you can easily run C++ from the command line by calling run.
```
run [prog name]
```
## Troubleshooting
Make sure you have installed XCode command line tools.
```
xcode-select --install # make sure x-code command line tools are installed
softwareupdate --list
softwareupdate -i -a # installs everything
```
### OS X Mojave
Navigate to your bash profile
```
gedit ~/.bash_profile
```
and add the following line:
```
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/include/c++/8.1.0/:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH"
```
