FAQ
--------------------------------

1) What is a programming challenge?

These contests are usually time based, and involve problems across categories like Data Structures, Algorithms, Bot Challenges, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning etc.

2) What is a hackathon? How is it different from a coding challenge?

A hackathon is a gathering where programmers code collaboratively over a time period ranging from a few hours to a few days, as part of a competitive programming contest. The idea of a hackathon is usually to build something from scratch that can solve or assist the problems mentioned in the theme.

A coding challenge usually has a set problem statement with a fixed solution, whereas a hackathon is theme based. Participants are required to create a solution that best fits the theme, and there is no straight-forward answer to a question.
