Back in Action !

"Sometimes a break is all you need" . My mid semester exams are over and now, I am totally free as I  have holidays . I am not going to my home . Instead I've planned to add new data structures and algorithms in my arsenal . These 15 days will going to be a lot more exciting and adventurous as for past 14 odd days I wasn't coding .

After the break I am back and ready to give my 100% .

Let the code begin !

Ups and downs again .

This week was not very good but still I learned a lot . Not very good because I didn't rise up in terms of ratings and scores but good as I still learned may new things , things which can only be learnt through failures after all a monotonously increasing graph is really 'monotonous' .

1. I couldn't solve a single question in the Codechef's long contest .(I just can't believe it,I think I didn't try much harder).
2. My last 2 matches on codeforces were not so good as my rating decreased heavily .
But at the end of the week.
My team got selected for Codesprint contest (National contest) and we solved all the questions given and in that I played a major role in solving 2 toughest questions(only 1 was a little bit trickier the other was easy).

Life is so much funny, sometimes you fall down sometimes you rise like anything.

I care less for results and more for actual learning because results are the outputs and if you don't give some input how will you get output ?

My mid semester Examinations are coming next week . So, I'll be taking a short break from programming because academics are also necessary .

Thanks for reading . Keep learning . Keep coding .

Another amazing week !

These days I am learning concepts related to number theory . As said by C.F. Gauss "Mathematics is the queen of sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics" I learned a lot this week some of the things which I learned includes Fermat's Primality Test,Goldbach's conjecture, finding primitive root of a prime,etc,.

This week I participated in Topcoder SRM also and solved 2 problems out of three . In the beginning of the contest I was messing with the 250 pt problems and I took a lot of time to get it correct I was at the 18 or 19 th position in my room of around 25-30 contestants but I solved the 2nd problem slightly fast and ended up with 7th position and added some positive points in my rating :) .

Thanks for reading .
