Day 7 of “Xtreme 101: A 10-Day Bootcamp to Think\, Solve and Code like an Engineer” was conducted by Ms. Tasmiya Fathima\, MSCS Graduate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Research Scholar a t MIT.\n\nThe session started with Ms. Tasmiya talking about how competiti ve programming helps in building strong logic and analytical thinking. She explained how to break down problems\, identify patterns used in contests and avoid common coding mistakes. Using simple examples\, she showed how to approach a problem - starting from understanding the question\, writing a basic solution\, optimizing it and then testing it with different cases .\n\nMs. Tasmiya also shared the importance of learning Data Structures an d Algorithms (DSA) for improving problem-solving skills. She discussed why C++ and Java are popular choices for competitive programming because of t heir speed and efficiency and encouraged participants to practice using th ese languages regularly.\n\nA total of 32 students joined the session via Webex\, making it a lively and engaging experience. The session was helpfu l and interactive\, with participants asking questions and sharing their t houghts throughout. Towards the end\, a short quiz was held to test their understanding of the topics covered\, followed by a Q&A session\, where st udents asked questions about coding\, optimization and learning strategies .\n\nOutcomes: Participants learned how to approach competitive programmin g problems step by step and gained a clearer idea of how DSA\, C++ and Jav a can help them perform better in contests. The quiz and Q&A made the sess ion engaging and helped reinforce key ideas in a fun and practical way.\n\ nAgenda: \nTo strengthen participant’s competitive programming approach by teaching them how to deconstruct problems\, recognize recurring pattern s\, and avoid common contest errors while developing effective problem-sol ving strategies.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508701 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508701 ORGANIZER:bms.ieeesb@gmail.com SEQUENCE:9 SUMMARY:IEEE DAY - BMSCE IEEE SB - Day 7 - Xtreme 101: A 10-Day Bootcamp to Think\, Solve and Code like an Engineer URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508701 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr">BMSCE IEEE SB on account of IEEE Day conducted Xtreme 101: A 10-Day Bootcamp to Think\, Solve and Code lik e an Engineer as a prelude of IEEEXtreme 19.0.
