Session on "C+ DS+ALGO" for GATE Preparation

29th June 2021

Department of Computer Science and Engineering Department, Gurgaon organized a session on C+DS+ALGO for GATE preparation. Prof. Yashvardhan Soni (Faculty, DCE) was the trainer of the session. 50 students attended the session.

 The session provided students with a comprehensive understanding of core topics essential for cracking the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). The session typically begins with an introduction to C Programming, focusing on key concepts such as loops, arrays, pointers, and memory management, which are foundational for understanding data structures and algorithms. The importance of efficient problem-solving skills is emphasized, teaching students how to optimize their code and solve complex problems under time constraints. By mastering these programming fundamentals, students gained the ability to develop scalable and effective solutions to GATE-level problems.

Moving forward, the session dives into Data Structures (DS) and Algorithms (ALGO), where the core concepts such as arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees, graphs, and hashing are covered in depth. Students are introduced to the importance of algorithm design and analysis techniques like Big-O notation to evaluate the efficiency of algorithms. Sorting, searching, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms are some of the critical topics explored in the session, providing students with the tools to solve a wide range of GATE problems. Overall, the session helps students build a strong foundation in C programming and algorithmic problem- solving, enabling them to perform confidently in the GATE exam.
