Dear friends,

NU ACM-W Student Chapter is happy to announce that THIS SUNDAY we’re organizing a workshop “DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS IN PRACTICE”!

We assume that you have a little knowledge in data structures (at least theoretical), since the main focus will be on problem solving and differences between data structures.

The tentative topics for the workshop:
• stack
• queue
• hash tables
• sorting
• binary search

Where? – 7E.429
When? – September 15, 2019
Time? – 2 pm – 3.30 pm
Language? – Russian
For whom?
– Participants of upcoming Coding Marathon, which is held by NU ACM-W SC each semester
– Those preparing for interviews
– Everyone interested in this topic

The tasks and their solutions will be sent to your emails, so please don’t forget to REGISTER and don’t forget to bring your laptops!

P.S. There will be a series of similar workshops from ACM-W, so stay tuned!
У тебя мог возникнуть вопрос: "Зачем мне воркшоп по теории на практике, если есть ICPC SIG, где я могу сразу начать писать код?"

Так что ниже мы привели важные различия между ICPC SIG и воркшопом, который организует студентка третьего курса CS, Данекер Нургалиева:
1. Для ICPC вы уже должны уметь программировать, знать структуры данных и алгоритмы и уметь применять их на практике.
Для воркшопа вам хватит только базовых теоретических знаний.

2. На ICPC вам будут объяснять преимущественно решения задач. В воркшопе вам дадут краткий обзор, объяснят разницу и дадут примеры, прежде чем давать задачи для практики.

На ICPC SIG сейчас очень мало девушек, и мы хотим это изменить, так что быстрее регистрируйся по ссылке и приходи на воркшоп завтра в 14.00 в 7е.429!
Dear girls, our Leetcode Marathon for Women organized by ACM-W has come to an end. Hope it was useful for you! We will announce the winners of the marathon by the end of the week. Thank you for your participation!🌟
