Programming competition quick reference.

Hi all.. i'm going to compete in a undergraduate programming competition this weekend. In this competition each team is allowed to bring a 25 pg pdf for use as a quick reference source.

So i'm curious what would you guys/gals put in it if you were going. The competition has no language restrictions (at least that i can recall of hand) and most of my teammates are familiar with both c[++] and Java so quick references for them is my main objective.

Here is a list of things that i've already included.

A quick listing of the methods of c' stdlib/io and STLs as well as a number of java classes in the form of <return type> methodname(<arg1 type>[<arg2 type>]+)
an ASCII Character Table,
Floyd's algo for shortest weighted path,
skeleton for a String Tokenizer in C and Java


Any other ideas? I'll check back tomorrow before we print up the pdf.

Thanks for you help and wish me luck
Morose.

Definitely write out a text file parser that you can easily adapt for any sort of input - I know the ACM programming contests will always give you the problem data in a text file, usually with one value per line, and if you have to write out a parser each time you'll be unhappy. Also, I would suggest picking a single language and sticking with it, just so you don't have to write everything twice if the same thing is applicable to both problems.

I hope im not too late in responding...

Take a very comprehensive list of all the header files that come with a base install of whatever language you are using in so you can easily find the prototypes for the methods you need

Good luck at the competition, they're fun

It was my first year and my team had a poor showing but i had alot of fun, and a great time..
Thanks for the suggestions Bingle and Artsemis, and i'm half proud that i had both those things in my pdf already.

Next year my team is going to practice (at least more then the one time which we did this year). And with luck we'll move on past the preliminaries.

thanks again.
