Programming students put their theoretical knowledge to the test in problem-solving competition
Four teams of students from the School of Computer Science and Technology at Algoma University put their problem solving skills to the test during a programming competition held at the school Saturday.
“They’ll have some complicated wording and tricks — you kind of have to read through what the actual problem is to figure out, ‘what is the underlying algorithm that I need to implement?’ Then, you'll be given a set of input data and a set of output data, and you have to try to make the input data match the output data,” said Pagnotta, who is also a sessional instructor at Algoma University.
“It gets students thinking and practicing writing real-world code that they would write on the job, where they have to start thinking about, my end users are going to do some weird things, so I have to account for those as well,” he said. “It’s really good practical practice, and rounds out the student’s education.”
