Suggestion: Advent of Code

Written on 02.12.2021 20:27 by Sven Rahmann

If you would like to expand your experience in coding, you can do the "advent of code" challenges. Every day in December (1 to 25), you receive a two-part problem embedded in a story. Given some (individualized) input file, you have to compute a solution of the problem. It starts out quite simple, and the first few problems can always be solved with a few lines of code. Later, it becomes more and more challenging. The first part of the problem on any day is usually simpler than the second part, which is only unlocked after you have solved the first part.

Best of all: it's free (but you can make a donation to the maintainer/inventor if you want to, or buy merchandise).

Note: The coding challenges are typically not related to this course (i.e., there are almost never any probability-related tasks), but it is good coding experience in general!

Have fun!
