DailyByte 🚀

Welcome to DailyByte - A daily coding challenge repository for the MSA RIU community! This platform is designed to help students enhance their problem-solving skills through consistent practice and collaborative learning.

📚 About

DailyByte is a community-driven initiative where students solve daily coding challenges and submit their solutions via pull requests. Each day, a new problem is posted, and students are encouraged to solve it independently, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

📋 Rules and Guidelines

1. Independent Work: All solutions must be your own work. No copying from others or online sources.
2. No AI Tools: Do not use AI-powered coding assistants (like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to generate solutions. The goal is to develop YOUR problem-solving skills.
3. Fair Learning: Collaboration in understanding concepts is encouraged, but the final code must be written by you.
4. One Solution Per Day: Submit one solution per problem. You can update your solution before the deadline.
5. Clean Code: Write readable, well-commented code following best practices.
6. Respect Deadlines: Submit your solutions before the specified deadline for each problem.
7. Learning First: Focus on understanding the problem and learning from the process, not just getting the "right" answer.
