HHC 2018 Programming Contests

[Joe Horn]

FYI: The Programming Contest at HHC 2018 will be announced simultaneously on the morning of Saturday 29 September 2018 at the conference, and here, and on the official HHC mailing list.

Unlike usual, the winning programs will be the Most Elegant, not necessarily the fastest and/or smallest. "Most Elegant" is subjective, and will be decided by the Contest Judge at the conference early Sunday afternoon.

If you are planning on attending, you may wish to bring an HP-41CX, since there will be three categories, each with a Most Elegant winner: HP-41CX RPN, RPL (any model), and HP PPL (Prime). If your 41CX-type RPN program is submitted on something other than a 41CX, your program must be code compatible with the 41CX to win, so don't be tempted to use your Swiss model's bigger screen to impress the judge. ;-)
