100 Days of Code Challenge with Scaler
Nearly 25 days are about to get over in this challenge so this blog is regarding what I have done in 25 days and what are my plans for the next 25 days
My name is Srivatsan Sreedaran, I am pursuing my Bachelor’s in Electrical and Electronics. I just got interested in coding and wanted to learn Data Structures and Algorithms. But there was always a question on will I be consistent and at the right time Scaler introduced the 100 Days of Code Challenge on their discord server.
- Highlights of my learnings
I learned a lot of stuff during these 25 days. I was not so good with coding but now I have started understanding the concepts a little bit
I started with the basics of C++ and started tweeting when I learned from heaps and stack implementation.
I learned about bit manipulation, some basic algorithms like Sieve of Eratosthenes, and I have come to OOP’s Concepts
Now I have started solving questions on websites like Codechef, Hackerrank, and HackerEarth.
2. Problems faced
While solving questions I’ll be happy since I got it, but sometimes I don’t get some questions, I try a lot and get demotivated at that time I don't put myself down I take a small break and try the question again if I still don't get it that is when I got to the editorial section and learn how I should be solving a question. I hope that on learning for some more time I will be able to solve questions easily
3. How did I manage time?
I am an electrical student so I just tried to meet ends with my college studies and the coding part
I would like to put it out that the scaler challenge goodies are the motivating factors(P.S.Idk if I will get them)
Keeping the goodies in mind I made sure that I at least code 1–2 hours per day.
4.What will I do for the next 25 days?
I am planning to go ahead with data structures like linked list, queues, binary trees and do problems based on them in Hackerrank, HackerEarth
I am also planning to start doing Interview bit simultaneously thereby it will be helpful for my placements
I always keep posting my updates on Twitter regarding this challenge
Follow me there @Srivatsan_S18
I would like to thank @scaler_official for giving me the boost everyday to code
Last but not least I would like to complete this challenge and complete the dream of cracking a good company
Thank you for your valuable time... Have a great day!
