Solving a task

UI Overview

On the front page, you can see a list of tasks available for submission. They are ordered by a level of difficulty, so we recommend starting with the first ones and subsequently moving to more difficult tasks.

Let us use the first task as an example of the user interface.

On the left of the page, you can see the task description. Here you can see the task name, description, and the input and output format.

Your username is displayed in the brackets, your display name is displayed in displayed in front of it. If you click on the eye icon, you can see your submission source code.

Writing a solution to the task

The first task asks us to write a program, that loads a value 10 into register a1, and load a value 12 into a2. It then should add the values and store the result in a3.

One of the possible solutions to this task can for example be:

.globl _start

_start:

	li a1,10
	li a2,12
	add a3, a1, a2

	ebreak
