I recently started participating in CodeForces contest and am a complete beginner. I currently have a basic knowledge of C++. I can write C++ code for basic problems and programs. Please tell me the rating that I should aim for and how much time it could take on average to reach that rat...
I currently have a basic knowledge of C++. I can write C++ code for basic problems and programs. Please tell me the rating that I should aim for and how much time it could take on average to reach that rating on CodeForces for clearing ZCO and INOI and getting into the IOITC. Please...
As far as i know Codeforces uses the ELO rating system To calculate the performance of a problem we need to see how many participants of which rating it defeated during a contest(participants that failed to solve it), then you use the ELO performance formula to calculate its rating. Now we...
Hi Guys,- I am only 2 contests old on codeforces but the way the competition is organized and the level of participation impresses me a lot. I thought therefore to write my views over the benefits of using codeforces CODEFORCES A very good ELO rating system . Quite balanced and relative ...

Enter your Codeforces handle. Select a calculation mode: either "Fast" or "Slow". The fast mode is incredibly fast because it fetches only the necessary data, which includes your rating changes in every contest, in a single API call. ...
problemsetting is cool, but it is incredibly hard to make it your main way of living, I do not have a level for that teaching and coaching are cool, but I do not want to make it my main way of living. That contradicts my own view that a great teacher must be a good professional...
N-1 N-2 N-3 ... etc The main observation being that the smallest multiple of x that isn't x is 2x. Trivial observations are easy to miss and I didn't think of that until finding the construction. The second seems to be a mix of greedy thinking (use big numbers to escape the ...
Anyway, I think it is equally important (for cf contests) to be able to solve easy problems very quickly and also be able to solve harder problems. Solving easy problems faster gives a little bit more score but also it gives you more time to do those harder problems. But it doesn't ...
I was looking for a nickname for myself and I thought that eatmore is a good choice. Both my former team mates already used different nicknames, so I thought that they wouldn't have a claim on eatmore nickname. That's it about my nickname. For me, it is interesting why team Bu...
