This repository hosts multiple challenges and gives away prizes for submitting solutions to the hosted challenges.
- A challenge series to encourage COLLEGE STUDENTS to solve problems using computers.
- Every week a challenge will be posted here and prizes for the challenge would be declared. Here's link to Challenge_1
- All of the challenges would be posting some problem statements that could be solved using a computer.
- Writing a novel computer program or using existing tools is okay to deliver the solution.
Only the challenge statement and details around the expected solution to it would be posted.
- Challenge statement
- Expected solution
- Challenge due DateTime
- Prizes
The following things will be left for participants to think and do on their own. e.g
- Formulation of the problem.
- Input and output format or user interaction in general.
- For each challenge an issue would be created in this repository, it would be having details of the challenge statement and expected solution.
- The created issue is to be used as a forum for the challenge and also track a challenge's state.
- Read and understand the requirements of the challenge.
- Formulate a problem on your own and come up with a working solution for it.
- Corresponding to the challenge a directory will also be created in this repository, e.g
/Challenge_1
. - Participants are expected to submit a solution and everything related to the solution as a subdirectory of the challenge directory.
The subdirectory should be named as the GitHub username of the participant. e.g/Challenge_1/moghya/solution.md
. Participants can add as many files as they want to the subdirectory to explain the approach taken to solve the problem. - Once the participant solves the problem, the participant needs to create a pull request for the addition of the subdirectory to the challenge directory.
- Post completion of the challenge, organizers will be judging each PR raised until the challenge due DateTime.
- Each PR will be provided with detailed comments on the solutions submitted.
- After 48-72 hours of challenge due DateTime, prize winners will be announced and contacted.
- Pull requests have a format to get sufficient details of participants to ensure regulation of participation of college students only.
