USACO Questions Collection

This folder is part of my computer science and engineering learning portfolio.

It contains solutions to algorithmic and programming contest problems, mostly from past USACO (USA Computing Olympiad) exams I learned at Alphastar Academy. The projects focus on efficient problem-solving, data structures, and algorithm design using Java.

Contents

• Multiple .java files each implementing a unique problem with clear logic and optimized performance.
• Demonstrated problem topics include array manipulation, search & sort routines, graph logic, and event simulation.
• Organized commit history showing steady progress and refinement of solutions.

Technologies and Tools

• Java (JDK)
• IDE: VS Code or IntelliJ IDEA
• Core data structures: arrays, lists, stacks, queues, sets
• Version control: Git & GitHub for tracking solution evolutions

Learning Outcomes

By working through these problems I achieved:

• Enhanced ability to break down larger problems into smaller functional units
• Improved speed and accuracy in problem interpretation and solution mapping
• Deeper understanding of algorithmic complexity and optimization trade-offs
• Better debugging discipline and modular code design

Feel free to explore each .java solution file and review the logic, comments, and performance considerations. I continue to expand this collection as I advance further in algorithmic programming.
