Vivekananda College of Engineering & Technology  Puttur

The program commenced with a formal inaugural session, graced by distinguished guests including Dr.Sunil Kumar B L, Associate Professor from the CSE Department of CEC Benjanapadavu, Dr. Nischaykumar Hegde, Head of the Computer Science and Engineering Department, and Prof. Pramod Kumar P M. The event was eloquently hosted by Ashwith K, Vice President of ACES, who set the tone for the proceedings with his engaging emceeing skills. The event began with a heartfelt welcome speech by A R Sachith, who expressed gratitude to the guests and attendees for their presence. Krithik took thecontributions in the field of computer science.

The highlight of the event was the technical session conducted by Dr. Sunil Kumar B L, who delivered an enriching talk on effective strategies for tracing and debugging complex programs. The session was designed to provide students with practical insights into handling intricate code structures. Dr. Sunil Kumar B L shared a variety of techniques and best practices, supported by real-life code snippets, to enhance the participants' debugging skills. His session was both interactive and highly informative, focusing on problem-solving approaches that are essential for aspiring software engineers.

Dr. Sunil Kumar B L emphasized the importance of understanding program flow and logic rather than relying solely on tools for debugging. He discussed the significance of breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts to identify errors more efficiently. He also introduced students to advanced debugging techniques, such as the use of conditional breakpoints, logging, and code review strategies, which are commonly used in the industry to improve code reliability and maintainability.

Furthermore, Dr. Sunil Kumar B L highlighted the common pitfalls and mistakes programmers often encounter while tracing complex code. He encouraged students to develop a systematic approach to debugging, including the use of pseudocode and flowcharts, to visualize the logic before diving into actual code tracing.

The technical talk on "Tips for Tracing Complex Programs" was a remarkable success, offering students an opportunity to learn from experts in the field and equipping them with practical skills that are essential in the software industry. The event served as a platform for knowledge exchange, fostering a deeper understanding of programming concepts among the participants.
