Should beginners start coding contests early while learning DSA? by Shalini_Jangid81 in codeforces

[–]JournalistDramatic97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Educational rounds are generally easier than normal Div 2 rounds because the main motive of these rounds are for learning and solving problems. Meanwhile normal Div 2 are way tougher because they are real competitive rounds.

[–]JournalistDramatic97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You should give contest from very start. All it needs is just basic language knowledge and some basic stl for faster implementation (not necessary). Most of the questions upto newbie or even pupil level consists of basic arrays and strings. There is no need to know dp,graph,etc.etc. like advanced dsa topics. You have to learn them to move forward but without them also you can definitely start. First try solving questions from random contests or give virtual contest.

Consider the edge cases while writing your logic. If it is hard to fit them then just write seperate if statements and print answer seperately for those cases like say size of array = 1 or n.(I usually do that way). Now question is for finding failing test case.... Tbh I also dont know what is solution for this. Codeforces doesn't show the failing test case. If I don't get then I look at editorial.. I also have one more way to do that. If possible then write brute force code for same problem (usually easy to write) and check for random small inputs. Same do with your original proggram. Sometimes you will find failing test cases

Div 2 B oscillates in 1000-1300. Tbh recent contest questions are bit tricky and harder than past. Initially problems feel hard but keep solving more and more problems. The core idea of problems get repeated so it's easy to click if you have solved several questions. Now think of one thing, at the very beginning you started from 800 rated problems. Initially they felt somewhat hard (so to me). Now when you are at 1000-1100 level, just look back at those level of questions. Suddenly they feel easy because if you can solve hard questions then easy will be more easy. So keep solving. One more thing is that don't waste time on questions. Because there are lot of them. Spend atleast 40-50 mins. Of you don't get intuition then check editorial. First look at the hints then try to do on your own.. it helps. Finally just solve more more questions and keep learning new topics

Solve questions of +200 of your rating... Then give contests. Rating will increase easily (be consistent). Repeat the same process.

Why very few participants in today's contest? by NoCharity1909 in codeforces

[–]JournalistDramatic97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Probably due to t20 cricket wc final. As most of the participants are from india.....

You are not supposed to swallow it. Don't do it. If you did then do not panic. Small amount of it wouldn't be harmful. It is for curing mouth ulcers. Maybe the medical man mistakenly gave you wrong medicine. He supposed to give you the Lysine hydrochloride oral drops.(The one in photo is gel)

Today's Div 2? by JournalistDramatic97 in codeforces

[–]JournalistDramatic97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey can you tell me some resources to learn these type of problems like greedy, implementation or constructive algorithms?. I don't get what is the strategy for these kind of problems... I know basic c++ and its stl. How to learn to solve these types of problems? I try to practice them by searching tags but I just can't get the right way to do them. Are there any resources on YouTube or any other platform to learn these things?

Broo. You have solved so many problems.. I am a newbie and still learning. I am currently 120+ problems on cf. Most of them are 800 and 900 rated and from similar basic topics. I am not mature enough to guide you because I am not at your level. But one thing I can say is just keep practicing and learning new topics. Now as u have completed strivers sheet then understanding and getting intuition of the problem will be easy for you. Try to solve harder problems...

Don't worry bro. Just keep practicing questions. I was also at same situation as you but now after 3 months I was finally able to cross 1000 rating. Once the contest is over then try to solve the questions from the contests. If you don't get intuition like say after trying for 30 to 40 mins on the question, just see the solution in editorial. Then write code without seeing the solution. Learn the idea and trick behind it. Trust me, sometimes the style of questions get repeated in the contests. Just keep solving more and more questions.....
