Breaking into Competitive Coding

‘Programming isn’t about what you know; it’s about what you can figure out.’ — Chris Pine

Food is to a human, as coding is to a computer geek. No one can deny the importance of understanding languages, developing logic, and solving problems for a Computer student.

The Skillship Foundation has been operating Competitive Coding as Track 2 of the AATMANIRBHAR programme, with overzealous participants from all over the country. A purely competitive programming track designed to help students build them as they go further up. Starting from the basic Data Structure like Arrays, it then goes on to cover topics like strings, math, followed by Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, Graphs, and Trees.

Weekly assignments are given keeping in mind that the students understand the concepts well and Doubt Clearing Sessions for any further doubts from the provided learning resources. The problems are given from various coding platforms like LeetCode , GeeksforGeeks, and HackerRank. After a month of practicing the students would be entering competitions in CodeForces and LeetCode to get an idea of what real-time competitions are and to cultivate their time management skills as well.

This track is designed to help students solve various problems of varying difficulties so that they can have a taste of Competitive Coding in the real world.
