The International Olympiad in Informatics has two official competition days. On each competition day, candidates will take a 5-hour computer programming test and solve 3 problems with rich content. The results are automatically graded online by the system and the live scoreboard is announced throughout the two competition days (online).

This year's exam is highly difficult, requiring candidates to be able to apply knowledge flexibly and be creative. With the strong development of the digital technology industry, countries are increasingly investing heavily in their teams and the competition between countries is getting higher in this exam.

The Closing Ceremony and Awards Ceremony will take place at 7pm today Egypt time.
