what did you do in the competitive programming event? was it solving a problem or building something? how does it differ from hackathons?

Competitive Programming, at least here, you get a sort-of-gauntlet of Leetcode problems which get progressively harder. The problems are scored based on how many test cases you're able to pass and how fast your algorithm runs. You're assigned a team and whichever team gets the highest score by the end of the competition is the winner.

It's really fun, even if you don't win!
