About the Event

CODE-DECODE was a competitive programming event designed to challenge participants' logical thinking and code debugging abilities. The event provided a platform for students to showcase their problem-solving skills in a time-constrained environment using the popular HackerRank platform.

Participants worked in teams to solve carefully curated problem statements in their preferred programming languages (C, C++, Java, Python). The competition emphasized not only coding proficiency but also teamwork, strategic thinking, and efficient debugging techniques.
