Kattio I/O (Template Rule Question)

#1

Hi,
Im taking a USACO Contest this December and was wondering if you can use the USACO I/O Template given here? cuz I was looking through the info page and found this rule (You may therefore NOT use pre-written code or “templates” to get a head start on your coding, and you may not consult resources other than those that provide information about basic functionality of your programming language (e.g., syntax, library functions, input / output, etc.)).

Thanks!

My interpretation (not necessarily correct) is that you shouldn’t copy-paste code from this module, but you can refer to this module during a contest since it provides information about basic functionality.
