Problemset.yaml

The problemset.yaml is a file that contains a list of problems.

File Layout

The list of problems defs in the problemset determines the number and order of the problems defined in a contest.

The section name for the problems in problemset.yaml is "problems".

Each problemset problem definition has a short-name which is also called the problem short name. The problem short name is the name of a directory where the rest of the problem settings are stored. For more information about those files and their contents see the article Problem Format.

The problem short name (short-name) directory is expected to be in the same directory as the problemset.yaml file.
