Arkadium conducts Hackathons/Jamming sessions twice a year so as to empower innovation and problem solving skills This year's 2-day Hackathon was aimed at improving the product experience of Arkadum through cross functional collaboration My team included people from sales/business development, people ops, marketing, and myself from analytics. We came up with bunch of ideas , one such idea being :

Randomized_lunches

Aim of the project was to build cross functional relationships through lunch outings. I was given about 8 sets of names with each set being a particular team (for example: Analytics, sales etc.). Desired outcome was to create set of 4 random names making sure the names do not belong to the same set/team and are not repeated in the next outcome. I used a simple random() from Math library to generate random name iterating it over a loop with length=4 and conitional statement to make sure the name does not generate again.

For example: We have A(Adi,John) B(Sam,Vivian,Remi) C(Adrian,Johnathan,Lee,Sunny), D(Jessica, Kenny) The function randomEl(list) generates --> Adi, Vivian, Lee, Jessica Also to avoid confusion, I have included last names as well in the program. You can view the output on the website mentioned above.
