RETRACER
A no-nonsense coding event without the frills of inventing stories for justifying the problem. the problems will simply be a set of inputs and corresponding outputs. the participant is to recognise the pattern inherent in the test cases shown, and write code that produces output that fits the pattern seen for the given inputs. there will be no ‘lily’ who ‘george’ is supposed to help with homework. let’s hunker down to the code!
About Event
Round 1:
Round will consist of a number of problems, where input and
output will be given. Participants have to recognise the pattern, and write code which will satisfy
given test cases along with other cases which will fit in the same pattern. Emphasis is on speed (of
writing programs, besides the time complexity).
Round 2:
Again, this round will consist of programming problems just like
round 1. Problems will be less in number than round 1, but harder. Emphasis is on problem difficulty and
in some problems, time complexity.
TEAM AND FEE STRUCTURE:
Team Size : Max 2 participants per team.
Registration Fee : ₹ 50 per team.
