IEEE Xtreme Bootcamp: Co(m)pile
As part of the IEEE Day and the preparations for IEEE Xtreme 18.0, the IEEE FISAT Student Branch held a two-day online boot camp called “Co(m)pile” on October 5th and 6th, 2024, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The boot camp covered key topics in Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), including time and space complexity, arrays, strings, stacks, queues, recursion, hashmaps, linked lists, binary trees, graph algorithms, and bit manipulation. It also introduced optional topics like combinatorics, greedy algorithms, and dynamic programming. The event helped participants build confidence and get ready for the upcoming IEEE Xtreme 18.0 coding competition.
The boot camp attracted 57 attendees, making it a successful gathering for participants eager to enhance their coding skills.
The first session was conducted by Joel Bobby, a Program Analyst Trainee at Cognizant, who introduced participants to core DSA concepts and their practical applications. The second session was led by Samanuai, the immediate past chair of IEEE FISAT SB, who took participants through advanced DSA topics and optimization techniques.
The event was hosted by Theresa Jane, with the welcome speech delivered by Ansa Antoo and the vote of thanks given by Kavya. The event was coordinated by Asiya Jannah and Advaith G. Menon. Both sessions were well-received, providing attendees with valuable insights into competitive programming ahead of IEEE Xtreme 18.0.
