I have a doubt. What do I do?

You three options here:

• Open an issue detailing your doubt.
• Ask in the Official Community Group of Nexus SJCET.
• Send us a mail. (Slow)

How will this go down?

• Students will be asked to implement a specific algorithm in a language of their choice. The code should be submitted to this GitHub repository as a pull request along with their explanation of how their implementation works, in a folder with name every round.
• The submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their code quality, correctness, the quality of their explanation and their overall involvement in the contest. The submissions will be checked for plagiarism.
• There will be seven rounds in total (1 challenge a day).
• The students will be given 24 hours (4PM to 4PM) to solve the problem.
• We won't be doing code reviews. If your logic is flawed or if your code has syntax errors we will not suggest corrections. However you will still be evaluated for the same. In short Syntax Errors and Logic Errors won't prevent your submission from getting merged but you will loose points during evaluation. Just like in a regular competition.
• However if you do not place your submission in the right folder or move/edit the Submission Template.md or any other file other than yours, your PR will not be merged.
• Using libraries such as stdio.h (C/C++) ,os (Python), Math (JS) etc are totally fine as they are part of the standard library but the libraries that requires you do some form of installation (eg. numpy, num2words, number-to-words etc.) are not allowed.

Pre-requisites for the contest

• A Desktop PC/ Laptop.
• Basic knowledge in any one programming langugage.
• You should be able to use Git and GitHub.
