Programming

Hello friends,

I'm really sorry for not posting anything for past 2 months.... I was mentally busy with my studies and physically with my paper and project works.....

So i thought i wud come back with a new topic which im very passionate about......

Yes it is programming..... Programming means not just coding a program.... I'm interested in Algorithmic programming....

Initially it started for me when i was in the last month of my 11th standard (+1)... When i got selected for the regionals INOI (Indian National Olympiad for Informatics)....

It was conducted by IARCS ( Indian Association for Research in Computing Science )....

And out of suprise i got cleared it eventhough i didnt know anything of algorithms and time complexity....

I know wat were they as one of my school senior and my inspiration Prasanna gave me some ideas about Dynamic Programming and solving stratergies... Still i owe him my performance.

Lets come to the olympiad thing.. Its first round is a Zonal Informatics in Olympiad round where u get about 5 questions in various topics inside Algorithms & programming... And u wont beleive u get about 3 hours to solve it... Then think of the toughness of the problems......

The second round it INOI u get 2 problems to solve in the GNU compilers ( it is quite intresting to read abt GNU )...

After this around 30 students are called to the final training camp which will be held at TISB (The International School Bangalore)....

There you get training from various universities like CMI, IISc,... And every day a programming test section. Together all the marks are totalled and they are evaluated on the final to select 4 students who will be going to IOI ( International Olympiad in Informatics) ....

They are sponsored by SASKEN for travelling and etc.....

So nice of this contest no....

And i forgot to say this is onli for school students....

I ll come in the later blogs about the programming events for college students and professionals
