Algo Sprint

Event Overview Algo Race is a high-intensity competitive coding event designed to test participants' speed, accuracy, and depth of algorithmic understanding under strict time constraints. Participants will be challenged to implement multiple algorithms in real time, pushing their ability to think logically, code efficiently, and perform under pressure. Unlike typical coding contests that allow extended time, this event emphasizes rapid problem-solving and execution, simulating real-world scenarios where quick decision-making is critical. Important Rules: Use of AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or any generative AI platform) is strictly prohibited during the event. Participants must rely solely on their own knowledge and understanding. Any form of malpractice or external assistance will lead to immediate disqualification. Participation Details: Team Size: Solo Participation Event Mode: Offline Event Format: Problem Structure Participants will be given a total of 10 algorithm-based problems, categorized by difficulty: Easy: 5 questions → 5 minutes each Medium: 3 questions → 7 minutes each Hard: 2 questions → 10 minutes each Execution Flow: Problems will be presented sequentially. Each problem must be solved within its allotted time. Participants must write fully functional code for each algorithm. Task Requirements: Participants must: Have working knowledge of at least one programming language: Python / Java / C / C++ Be comfortable with core algorithmic concepts such as: Sorting & Searching Recursion Basic Data Structures Time Complexity awareness Evaluation Criteria: Primary Factor: First participant to submit the correct solution within the given time Secondary Factors: Code correctness Efficiency Completion rate Objective of the Event: This event is designed to: Develop fast logical reasoning and algorithmic thinking Improve coding speed and real-time problem-solving ability Train participants to perform under strict time pressure Strengthen understanding of core computer science fundamentals Prepare students for technical interviews and competitive programming environments
