so I decided to write a blog that has all important information about how to use Codeforces in a single place. I will update it with time, so feel free to write your suggestions/questions in case I missed something and I will be glad to add it to the post!
Hello codeforces. It is my pleasure to be a part of this awesome community.I didn't want to write this but i thought that i can get some awesome suggestions from some awesome people.I am a high school student and doing competitive programming for about a year..I started my cp journey ...
It therefore stands to reason that highly rated competitors will demonstrate proficiency in technical creativity—a sought-after trait in professional engineers. If you’re a programmer, make yourself easy to find by showcasing your rating in the Honors and Awards section of your résumé. And if...
Well, recent codeforces problems do a decently good job of introducing a large variety of concepts, particularly in the 2000+ rating range. Thanks to the large standards of wanting non-standard problems each contests, many small math tricks and greedy techniques are introduced, along with standard...
Eliminating that possibility is a huge boost to efficiency, debugging time. It's true that it has some negative side-effects but they are very minor. If you get TLE or MLE just remove it and gg, not a big deal People who don't accept this enlightened truth can be categorized like ...
Errichto, Aman Dhattarwal and Love Babbar (in hindi) playlist if you want to step into CP or you're a beginner. If you want to be rated X, then you must be able to solve problem with rating X+200. And try to solve every problem within a short time as you're in competing. Whe...
Or because of any other reason, but still, don't solve the easiest problems on Codeforces and expect to become good. Do you want to participate in a virtual round? Sure, go and do this. Don't do this if you are sure that you'd solve them. Do this if you want to check if you...
And as absurd as it may sound, I believe that SOLVE and FAST are very different and almost independent parts, and you need to practice them separately. Let’s look at some contest, like a CodeForces round. For the sake of simplicity let’s assume that every problem has some difficulty, ...
I really liked the solution to this problem:https://codeforces.com/problemset/problem/1517/C Spoiler I think interactives are inherently constructives:https://codeforces.com/contest/1698/problem/D Spoiler These were all the problems I could think of right now. ...
As long as you aren't specifically looking for easy problems to inflate your count I think it's a reasonable stat since it's hard to know if a problem is at the right level before solving it. → Reply ac_97 4 years ago, # ^ | 0 did you practice only on codeforces? → ...
