IEEE Xtreme 14.0 Practice Coding Session 3
10 October, 2020
Hello everyone,
Thanks for expressing interest to participate in the IEEE programming workshops.
The IEEE Unimelb Student Branch, in collaboration with the IEEE Women in Engineering Victoria and the IEEE Women in Engineering University of Melbourne Affinity Group, is pleased to announce that the third workshop of IEEE Unlock Xtreme 14.0 on Python Algorithms for Basic Data Analysis is scheduled on October 1st from 4:15 to 6:15 PM.
In case you haven’t attended the previous sessions, each tutorial (4:15 PM to 5:00 PM) will be followed by a live coding contest (5:00 PM to 6:15 PM) to help you become familiar with the IEEEXtreme contest by simulating the competition environment. The organizing committee is awarding coupons as well as certificates to the winning teams of each live coding session. Please note that you do not need to have Python installed on your system to participate. However, if you wish to install Python, this is a good installation guide.
The third session will focus on Python algorithms and coding challenges, including Add String, Simple Array Sum, Valid Palindrome, Monotonic arrays, Picking Numbers, Word matching, Between two Sets, and Rotate Left. Sorting algorithms will also be discussed.
Top engaging individuals and the quiz winner will be awarded gift vouchers (valued respectively at 10 and 25 AUD).
The live coding session and the programming contest will be held using the hackerrank service. You can create an account and get familiarized with HackerRank prior to the contest: https://www.hackerrank.com/We recommend you to learn and get acquainted with Python as we have an upcoming Data Analytics workshop being taught in this language every Thursday in October where you get to do advanced projects and receive a participation certificate. The workshops are offered as part of the IEEE Symposium on Data Analytics and Internet of Things (ISDAIOT), which is co-organized by the IEEE Victorian Section. More details can be found here.
For now, we are looking forward to seeing you at the Xtreme workshop this Thursday:
