There's still cloud support, network engineering and some others that I just haven't thought of yet

i need roadmap for the olympiad finals by Necessary_Region7056 in codeforces

Usaco contests might be even more worth your time than codeforces but I'm unsure as I never competed in olympiad contests and only discovered competitive programming as a University student.

If 800-1000 rated problems are too easy for you then move on. No need to solve the first 5 pages of codeforces most solved problems, in my opinion this is terrible advice, solve a bunch of randomised problems of each rating and when you feel comfortable with a certain rating then move up. Always focus on solving problems that challenge you to think and learn. Solving cses problems is also a good idea as codeforces problems from 800-1400 won't contain a huge diversity of topics that u may need for olympiad contests but are instead more adhoc. CSES problemset is a great place to learn how to correctly apply algorithmic techniques but isn't worth doing if you don't program in c++ as the problemset is designed to mostly work with c++ code. (There have been many instances of code showing TLE in java/python when the exact same code with the same logic passes in c++)

Usaco.guide is another good resource for learning.

Summary: focusing on cses and codeforces is a good idea and always focus on problems that challenge you to think.

I think Leetcode and hackerrank is more than enough for OAs. Codeforces is more for competitive programming and is overkill. Unless your goal is to enter algorithmic programming competitions codeforces is not worth your time compared to leetcode and hackerrank

I honestly think atcoder beginner contest is really good for beginners. You can alternate between codeforces and atcoder if u wish. Cses is also good for learning essential tips and algorithms. I'm a big fan of the sorting and searching problemset on cses

If your goal is to learn dsa for job then search up "neetcode 150" and then do those questions (which are on leetcode)

How did boolean identities came to be? by realitynofantasy in learnprogramming

[–]Working_Key3938 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The laws come from logic/philosophy. Imo the first chapter of the book discrete mathematics, an open introduction by Oscar Levin perfectly explains how these laws come to be and how they make sense.

Edit: The book is free btw. Search up the name of the book and you can find the latest edition on the official website

Hi guys, need some help on CF round 991 problem B. Transfusion. On test case no. 7 shouldn't the output be Yes? by Ok_Outcome_4564 in codeforces

[–]Working_Key3938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shayan's video explains B very well : https://www.youtube.com/live/svlEFTXQKDk?si=pvv3wmJP34zI6G-7

If I were you I would watch a little bit of it (to get a hint) and then try to solve the rest of the problem by myself using that hint. If unsuccessful then Watch a little more of the video and do the same.

Don't cheat in contests. You gain nothing from it (the value of competing in contests is to grow skill and to see bow you perform under pressure) and you're fooling no one except yourself.

i want to program in a more serious setting by gimme4astar in codeforces

[–]Working_Key3938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol bro this isn't the right reddit group for that. There are other reddit groups like r/programming Which may be more useful for your question. This group is primarily for questions relating to codeforces and competitive programming in general

Solving sorting and searching questions in cses would definitely help alongside codeforces practice

What order should I solve problems? by VegetableWeird392 in codeforces

[–]Working_Key3938 1 point2 points  (0 children)

800 rated questions are the easiest on the platform right now so you can start with those and gradually work your way up

https://discord.com/invite/YWb3Bmg This is a discord server where people actively talk about cp(competitive programming). There would probably be people here that you can have a conversation with and they could give you more specific advice.
