The 14th POSTECH Programming Contest (PPC) was held on May 26 from 1 PM to 7 PM in Room 501 of Tae-Joon Park Digital Library. It has been hosted by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering every first semester, and it aims to raise Postechians’ interest and ability in programming.

Some students from other departments, and even graduate students joined as well. The participants could choose between visual C++/C or Java as their primary language when they registered for PPC, and they solved eight to ten problems during the given time.
