Install software

1. VS Code
2. GIT (Install GIT optional unix tools if you use Windows without WSL.)
3. Mingw-Builds (Extract all and add ..mingw/bin to PATH.)
4. Python (for running automated tests)
5. (optional) Tkdiff

Prepare your local repo

git clone https://github.com/suwc/usaco_cpp
cd usaco_cp

Create a directory for a new problem

cp -R template newProblem

Run automated tests

All files ending with '.in' are treated as test input files. The output of each test is stored in '.out.actual' and compared with '.out' with three possible outcomes:

1. Passed: the actual output matches with the expected output.
2. Failed: the actual output does not match with the expected output.
3. Completed: the expected output file does not exist.

cd newProblem
python test.py

We expect to see something like:

.\00.in Passed

Debug in VS Code

1. Open problem/main.cpp in VS Code. (Note: the first time you do this, VS Code will prompt you to install "C/C++" and "C/C++ Extension Pack".)

2. Press F5 to debug; press Ctrl-F5 to run the code without attaching the debugger. (Note: if PowerShell in VS Code complains about '<', switch to cmd.exe )

3. To debug a different test than "00.in" or to use the terminal for input during debug, update or comment out the following line in .vscode\launch.json:

   "args": ["<", "00.in"],
