#Code Wednesday Challenge

The document outlines the rules and guidelines for a weekly coding challenge called CodeWednesdayChallenge where participants work on Python projects or tasks within a deadline and submit their solutions which are then evaluated based on correctness, code quality, and adherence to the rules to determine winners who will receive recognition. Sample challenges are provided ranging from generating passwords and solving mazes to analyzing stock data and creating visualizations using techniques like markov chains and genetic algorithms.

#CodeWednesdayChallenge

The Code Challenge is where you get to work on certain projects or tasks to complete them
within given time/duration.

Join the discord server to communicate and share the code after the challenge:

Rules:

1. Each Individual taking part Should have a Github account and name your folder
according to the challenge you are working on. (e.g challenge1-password-generator)
2. Eligibility: The challenge is open to participants of all skill levels who are familiar with
Python programming.
3. Submission: Participants should submit their solution as a Python script or Jupyter
Notebook file.
4. Deadline: The challenge will have a specific deadline for submission. 8PM(SA & EAT).
5. Original Work: Participants must create their solutions from scratch specifically for this
challenge.
6. Code Quality: Solutions should follow Python best practices, including proper
indentation, variable naming conventions, and appropriate use of comments to explain
the code's functionality.
7. Functionality: Solutions should adhere to the provided problem statement and produce
the expected outputs.
8. Testing: Participants are encouraged to test their solutions with different input scenarios
to ensure their code is working correctly.
9. Documentation: Participants should include a brief explanation of their approach or
algorithm, as well as any additional notes or assumptions made during the solution
development.(One Page) or README.md
10. Code Readability: Solutions should be clear, concise, and well-structured, allowing other
developers to understand and follow the code easily.
11. Respect and Sportsmanship: Participants should demonstrate respect and good
sportsmanship throughout the challenge, promoting a friendly and inclusive coding
environment.
12. Judging: Solutions will be evaluated based on correctness, code quality, efficiency, and
adherence to the challenge rules.
13. Results and Recognition: Participants with the most innovative, efficient, and well-
implemented solutions will be acknowledged and may receive recognition based on their
performance.(Special Prizes)

Starting off with Python:

1. Create a program that generates a random password. The password should be at least 8
characters long and contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers,
and symbols.
2. Create a program that reads in a text file and counts the number of occurrences of each
word in the file. The program should then print out a list of the top 10 most frequent
words, along with their counts.
3. Create a program that simulates a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The program should
prompt the user to enter their choice, then randomly generate the computer's choice.
The program should then determine the winner based on the standard rules of the game.
4. Create a program that reads in a CSV file containing data on a set of stocks. The program
should then calculate the average daily return for each stock and print out a list of the
top 10 performing stocks.
5. Create a program that generates a random maze and solves it using the depth-first search
algorithm. The program should display the maze, show the path from the start to the
finish, and calculate the time taken to solve the maze.
6. Create a program that generates a set of random coordinates on a 2D plane and
calculates the shortest path that visits each point exactly once. The program should use
a genetic algorithm to find an optimal solution.
7. Create a program that reads in a text file and creates a word cloud, where the size of each
word is proportional to its frequency in the text. The program should then display the
word cloud as an image.
8. Create a program that scrapes a website for data on a particular topic and creates a
visualization of the data. For example, the program could scrape a news website for data
on the most common topics in the news, then create a pie chart showing the distribution
of topics.
9. Create a program that generates a set of random numbers and sorts them using the
quicksort algorithm. The program should then calculate the time taken to sort the
numbers.
10. Create a program that reads in a text file and creates a markov chain model of the text.
The program should then use the model to generate a random sentence that is similar in
style to the original text.
NB: Examples of the challenges will be uploaded after the challenge with different types of
methods.
