Session Goal

The session aimed to optimize a store placement algorithm for minimizing distance and to customize Markdown styling in Visual Studio Code using CSS.

Key Activities

  • Algorithm Optimization: Analyzed code to minimize accumulated distance when placing stores at specific positions, exploring mathematical equivalences and memoization techniques.
  • Function Naming: Suggested improvements for function names to enhance code readability.
  • VS Code Customization: Customized Markdown cell styles in Visual Studio Code by integrating Primer CSS, extracting CSS styles from various sources, and troubleshooting SCSS compilation issues.
  • Administrative Privileges: Provided guidance on running Visual Studio Code with administrative privileges across different operating systems.

Achievements

  • Clarified the functions involved in the store placement algorithm and their mathematical equivalence.
  • Improved function name readability for better code understanding.
  • Successfully integrated Primer CSS into Visual Studio Code, enhancing the development environment’s appearance.
  • Resolved SCSS compilation and import issues related to Primer CSS.

Pending Tasks

  • Further explore alternative solutions for any remaining SCSS import issues.
  • Continue refining the store placement algorithm for optimal performance.
