Hash Code is a team-based programming competition, organized by Google, for students and professionals around the world. Participants pick their team and programming language and Google picks an engineering problem for them to solve.
Hash Code is open to university students and industry professionals from all around globe. Participants must compete in a group of two, three, or four members (each group referred to as a “Team”). Participants must form their team in the Judge System and each participant must be above 18 years old. The Judge System is an online platform where participants will form your team, join a hub, practice, and compete during the rounds. Participation is done through an online registration form.
Hubs are meetups where teams from the same university, office or local area can come together to compete in the Online Qualification Round side-by-side. Participating from a hub adds a bit more fun and excitement to the competition and is a great way to meet new people.
Tishk International University is involved since 2016 with opening its official hub, our hub is known as the first Hash code hub in Iraq and Kurdistan which is organized by Computer Engineering department.
Coders all over the world are given their first problem to tackle through an Online Qualification Round. Participants also get to watch a YouTube live-stream to be introduced to the problem, and the teams usually have four hours to solve an optimization problem using the programming language and tools of their choice. Teams can compete from a local hub or another location of their choice. The top teams from the Online Qualification Round will be invited to the Final Round at a Google office, where they’ll work together to solve another challenge and compete for cash prizes.
The 6th Hash code edition’s Online qualification round was conducted on February 28,2019 at 8:30 PM with the participation of four hubs from Iraq and Kurdistan including (University of Kurdistan Hawler hub, University of Human Development hub, Hash code Baghdad hub and Tishk International University hub).
Students and staff of Tishk International University’s Computer Engineering and IT department participated in the competition through the university hub. One of our hub’s participating teams named (“Optimal”) with three members (Rebin Mohammed ,Aso Othman, Satar Dawood Mirkhan), made yet another successful comeback and ranked first on Iraq and Kurdistan with a score of 707,583 beating the other 3 hubs in the region and coming in 863th place over 6670 participating teams from across the globe.
Another competing team from Tishk International University named (“Just us”) with three members (Ahmed Farhad, Bawan Abdulqadir, Islam Abdulaziz) ranked 19 on Iraq and Kurdistan with a score of 44,837.
The department of Computer Engineering extends its gratitude and appreciation to Tishk International University students and staff for their immense efforts and hard work and congratulates them on getting the highest rank on Kurdistan and Iraq.
