Liu Aofan, a second-year student from XMUM Software Engineering Programme, has won third prize at the 13th Lan Qiao Cup Professional Computer Contest (Fujian province).

Hosted by the Talent Exchange Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, Lan Qiao Cup is the largest professional computer contest in China. More than 1,200 colleges and universities in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, participate in the competition.

For the C/C++ Programming category that Liu Aofan participated, participants were required to solve a few problems with computer programming in the given time. 

“This is my first trying in this contest,” said Liu Aofan. “Many thanks to Dr. Iftekhar Salam and Dr. Saif Kifah - I have done quite a few similar exercises in their classes. I used LeetCode for practice as well.” 

“I suggest future participants to be more detail-oriented, losing as few marks as possible.”
