Scaler Academy- How to Avoid Common Coding Mistakes

Coding is not a simple task and there are fair chances that you can make mistakes whether you are a beginner or you are an experienced professional.

1. Slow and steady wins the race!

In these times of the fast-paced technological world, it is fairly normal that you are expected to write the codes fast but that should not be at the cost of quality. Delivering high-quality codes in a short period of time is highly appreciated but it is not always possible to do so. Even experienced programmers, sometimes, take hours of intense focus, time, and patience to deliver good results. In simpler words, it is better to reduce your speed, if this results in error-free code. Slowing down the speed reduces syntax errors and improves the code quality.


2. Do you test your code often?

One common mistake coders often do is that they go on writing code worth multiple pages without testing if the code works or not. This is not a safe way because if you don't test the code often, you will not be able to know where your bugs are located.

3. Practice results in perfection!

The bitter truth is that errors are unavoidable in coding, no matter your expertise. However, if you spend more time doing programming, you will significantly reduce the errors. To become a more diligent programmer, you need to increase the duration of practice.


Scaler Academy suggests that with the help of these tips and tricks given by Scaler Academy’s tutors, students were able to avoid common programming mistakes and you can also actually save hours of time and frustration while improving your coding performance.

I credit Scaler Academy for where I am at today: Review by Software Engineer at Google

Scaler Academy Learner, Anshul Jain shares her learning experience with us: "During my BTech and MTech years at Delhi’s Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology (BPIT) and Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) respectively, I particularly enjoyed working on problems and learning more about Data Structures and Algorithms. In fact, I have been extremely interested in DS and Algo since high school. However, as much as I enjoyed my classes in college, I always felt the syllabus was too theoretical and that the teaching could have been more industry-specific. Later, while working at CaaStle in my first job as a front-end developer, I saw an ad for Scaler on Facebook and I immediately registered for the program. I used to attend DS and Algo coaching classes in college as well, hence, I knew that additional training would really hone my skills. In addition to DS and Algo training, I wanted to learn more about System Design as well at Scaler Academy. Check out the complete Review

Introduction to Pointers in C

What are Pointers in C?  A pointer is a variable that holds the address of another variable. A pointer is a derived data type in C. All the computers have addressable memory locations. The value of these variables is stored in these memories only. We can access these values of the variable in 2 ways: (i) By using the name of the variable. (ii) By using the address of a variable. The use of pointers are made in the second method Values stored in pointers are addresses, where data is stored in memory. Example:           int i = 8;           i → name of the variable           8 → value at address           65599 → address in the memory. How to Use Pointers in C? If we declare a variable i of type int, it will store a value.  int i = 0 The value of i is 0 now However, each variable, apart from value, also has its own address (or the address of the location where the value is saved in memory). The address can be retrieved by putting an ampersand (&) before the name of the variable. &

Through Interviewbit, an interview preparation platform that was established in 2014, we have helped over 4000 software engineers land their dream job in leading tech companies.  Gradually over time, most of these companies drove their hirings through our Platform.  Upon interacting with the folks on the platform, we came to realize that the ones getting placed had one thing in common: a mentor-like figure be it their siblings, seniors.. to guide them through the process.  That brought about the birth of the program Scaler Academy back in April 2019. The objective of  the Scaler Academy Program:  To help shape software engineers who can create a massive impact. Scaler Academy Curriculum : Structured, Industry-Relevant Curriculum [ Download PDF ] We have reverse engineered Scaler's curriculum by talking to the top product companies and understanding what skills the software industry needs the most right now and arrived at a conclusion that there are two fundamental skills required:
