On February 2, 2019, we five members of the Mozilla ASCOL club met at the Kathmandu Living Labs ( KLL ) at around 10:30 AM. The topic for this day was the Importance of Algorithms and Data Structure.

Basically, this session was informal and there were not any slides on the topics. We have decided to take some algorithm and discuss accordingly. So we started with the Caesar cipher algorithm. First, we discussed what approaches we can take to encrypt the message and looked into the algorithm code written in JavaScript which you can find here. And then we discussed how can we decrypt the encrypted message.

The second algorithm that we discussed was to take a string as input and provide an output a string in which the consecutive repeated character was replaced with that character followed by the total number of times the character was repeated. Here we also discussed how we can JavaScript array and object to ease the work for solving this problem. We also solved this problem by writing code there which you can find here.

After further discussion about how we can use platforms like Codewars to improve our coding problem-solving skills we closed our session and left for the home.

On the second talk Mozilla ASCOL Club Captain, myself Nirmal Rijal was taking about how to get involved in Mozilla ASCOL. I also told the participants how they can create a learning environment on college and do projects on collaboration with their peer. I was also talking about future plans of our club to conduct workshops and work on project by Mozilla ASCOL.

And the last talk was of Mozilla Campus Community Regional Coordinator, Roshan Gautam. He told everyone how the Campus Club program by Mozilla Community was established and how he became a Regional Coordinator.
