Hired by Twitter for 80 lakhs per annum, IITian from Madhya Pradesh heads to California



It's a dream come true for 22-year-old Swapnil Jain, a computer science graduate from IIT-Delhi. Swapnil, who hails from Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh, has been offered a job by micro-blogging website Twitter - at a whopping package of R
s. 80 lakh per annum.

He is moving to California in October to start his new job.

"Twitter has offered me a software engineer's job during the placement in IIT-Delhi. It was my dream to work for companies like Twitter or Facebook. I have worked very hard and my efforts have paid off," he said.

Swapnil says this is the first time in the last two years that Twitter has hired someone from India. And he is thrilled.

"I want to represent my country and hope that I'm able to make my family and city proud," he said.

Swapnil credits his success to his family, especially his parents. His grandfather, Babu Lal Jain, is a well-known lawyer in Vidisha and his father has a jewellery showroom.

"I am very happy. He made this possible through his hard work and dedication," said Swapnil's father Sanjay Jain.

C Graph implementation with adjacency list representation using structures: Data Structure Tutorial 1

Image
This is a quick tutorial for implementing graph data structure with adjacency list representation. Once I was  looking on the web to have a simple introductory tutorial on graphs, but unfortunately couldn’t find one  simple enough. So I decided to write this. In the adjacency list representation, è All the vertices are stored in an array of structure containing ‘data’ and ‘link’ fields. è The linked chains represent the edges of a vertex with its neighbors. In the figure, there are 6 vertices, represented by the array of length 6, and the chains represent the edges. Below is another example: Let us first define the structure of a vertex in a graph. struct vertex {     int vertexKey;     struct edge *edgePtr; }vertex; The vertexKey is the data field of the vertex, and edgePtr is the edge pointer, declared next. The graph can be declared as: struct vertex graph[10]; int vertexCount=0; Here...

Interview Of An Indian Top Coder : Rudradev Basak

When I (Anil Kishore) started taking part in algorithmic programming contests, for more than two years, it was just me, lot of problems, very few algorithms, my ideas and my Java codes. With that, I would have probably been still a green rated coder, working for a software company in Bangalore after moving between two or three places, still in search of the right things to do. But why ? Problems, Algorithms, my Ideas and my Codes.. what else I need ? This is where many Indian coders make mistake. Almost two years after joining TopCoder (TC), I started interacting with fellow coders, knowing more about them, reading lots of others codes, being active in forums and part of the wonderful community. That was the crucial part of my career so far. TC has some interviews of foreign coders and they are very interesting to read. Knowing more about our own Indian coders will be more fun, especially for beginners to get inspired. This is the least I can contribute to the wonderful community tha...
