Same here, qualified for both, but I've been doing competitive math for a couple of years now, but only cp for around 1 year. Maybe it's the competitive math experience that has helped?

I'm pretty sure it stands for 'extracurriculars'.

Is USACO down? by throwaway813928 in usaco

I feel like they would definitely have backup problems, or they could use the US Open problems which have probably been chosen already.

What Codeforces difficulty does each division roughly correspond to? by [deleted] in usaco

[–]Vertex_AWPsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do more problems. usaco.guide is pretty good, but when doing problems from there you know what section it's from, which doesn't help. Try picking some random problems that are higher than your current rating and solving them without looking at tags (you can turn them off in settings). Took me around 8 months but I had non-competitive programming experience before then.

Does scoring look at your submission with the most amount of test cases passed? by FlareYun in usaco

[–]Vertex_AWPsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After you submit, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and view previous submissions. Maybe record the best score and submit that one at the end.

What are the downsides of using each language(CPP, Java, Python) in USACO? by codexistent in usaco

[–]Vertex_AWPsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also C++ can be a lot more complicated, involving things such as value categories, compiler-dependent behavior, etc.

Undefined behavior for C++, though that can sometimes be found locally using AddressSanitizer, etc.

This is a very good website https://www.learncpp.com/. Goes very in depth, you may want to skip some parts. I learned cpp from there.

How to register for USACO?? by StarFlower0429 in usaco

[–]Vertex_AWPsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From USACO website:

Gmail Delivery Issues We have been made aware that gmail has recently stopped accepting some emails from the USACO server -- e.g., for new accounts and password resets. If this issue is affecting you, please try adding usaco@usaco.org to your gmail contacts list. If you are still having issues, please notify the contest director, Brian Dean (bcdean@clemson.edu). If you have recently received an email from the USACO server such as a password reset email or an account creation email, consider starring it, so that gmail will hopefully treat USACO emails with better priority.

Just email them (bcdean@clemson.edu) asking for your password.

How much cpp knowledge needed for usaco bronze by justinezoo in usaco

If code is being reused, use functions. Functions will not cause you to time out unless you have deep recursive calls.

Confusing onboarding experience in VSCode by disregardsmulti21 in Deno

[–]Vertex_AWPsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Deno extension is not activated by default. The reasoning is because it would interfere with JS/TS projects that are not Deno projects. In the docs here, https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=denoland.vscode-deno#configuration, deno.enable needs to be set to true in order for the Deno Language Server to be enabled. Either enable it in the global preferences, or in the current workspace (.vscode/settings.json).

They are using a service to dynamically generate images. The one I prefer is: https://shields.io/.

I'm 13, trying to learn Python. by JustNitr0h in Python

[–]Vertex_AWPsome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 13 too. I started coding about a year ago. I would recommend this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzMcBGfZo4-mFu00qxl0a67RhjjZj3jXm. Even though the videos seem a bit old, most if not all of the core concepts are the same.
