FLIP IT

• To test participants knowledge of different programming languages.

• To test the ability of the participants to convert the code written in one language to other without changing its outcome

I. ELIMINATION ROUND : QUIZ

Top ten teams will qualify for the Final Round.

Two problem statements will be given on the spot

• This round will be based on programming language syntax, algorithms and data structures. The marking scheme and time limit will be announced on the spot.

• Only top 10 teams will qualify for Final Round.

• This round consists of two parts. Each team will be given two problem statements.

• Participants can select any one set of Programming Languages from below:

SET 1 : C/C++AND JAVA

SET 2 : C/C++ AND PYTHON

• So, if one team member selects one language from the Set then the other member has to go with other language from the same Set.

• CODE>EXCHANGE>FLIP

CODE IT : Solve the given problem in your chosen language.

EXCHANGE IT: Exchange your codes with your partner.

FLIP IT : Now “flip” (convert) your partner’s code into your programming language code (without knowing the problem statement).

• The output of the converted code must match with the output of the original code. Both the codes will be tested against various cases.

• If either member fails to finish the program in the first half, then that team is disqualified.

Extra points will be given for the efficiency of code, all input cases, error and exception handling and proper execution of code, meeting each and every requirement as stated in the problem statement, before and after code conversion.

• The environment will be any 64-bit Linux variant OS (Ubuntu, Debian, Kubuntu,.. etc).

• No IDE will be allowed for programming. Only the use of text editors like gedit, vim, emacs, atom, sublime text is allowed. GNU debugger is allowed to test the program.

• Participants must strictly adhere to the allotted time slots.
