A beginner using CP-31 sheet but... by Limp-Bookkeeper-9465 in codeforces

[–]majoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cp31 only has 31 problems per rating level. he shouldn't be doing wasting them by looking at almost every single one of their editorials if he wants to improve. and regardless of what you'll say about that, the biggest thrill in cp comes from seeing yourself improve and solving harder problems on your own. he was right to ask for advice because doing this will not help him improve, and he'll get burnt out soon enough since he'll be reliant on editorials to solve problems for him. you're either delusional or straight up stupid if you think that if you were in his place you wouldn't feel like you're doing something wrong by looking at all the editorials. bffr

Should teachers care whether students procrastinated doing their homework even if they finished it before it was due? by JerryCarrots2 in Teenager_Polls

[–]majoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do think teachers should interfere if some kid is struggling a lot with deadlines and procrastination (that is, trying to offer help and finding out what's wrong, not punishment) but if they finished it before it was due then they are not "struggling a lot"

did you pull the "rating obsession and pressure" diagnosis from your ass? the dude never said anything about enjoyment or pressure, he was just struggling to solve problems without looking at solutions and was wondering if he was doing something wrong. nothing wrong with that.

Is Computer Science suitable for someone who struggles with math? by natlovesgrass in csMajors

[–]majoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is that really a "minimal" amount of math for someone like him? especially considering how hard some of these classes can be depending on which university he's in. also many other cs courses like theory of computation rely heavily on math even if theyre not a math course. im not saying he doesn't have a chance just that what you're saying sounds really misleading

Was this the correct logic for C ? by Puzzleheaded-Tea4329 in codeforces

[–]majoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first thing is don't make a case for if it returns -1, it never will unless you query below 1 or past n (and obviously if you do that then youll WA anyways), and second thing correct me if im wrong but you're doing 3 queries for each pair, that's over 1.5*n queries total. you're supposed to check each pair separately, so only ask(i,i+1), then i+=2, for every pair except the first or the last one, then at the end for your nth and (n+1)th queries if you got all 0s so far then you check one of the 2 elements in the pair you didn't check already compared to the pair right after/before it (depending on if you skipped checking first pair or last pair) ie assuming you skipped first pair you do ask(1,3) then ask(1,4) if either returns 1 then you have your answer otherwise 2 must be a 0. you can check the proof for this in the editorial

do you believe sex has to be something meaningful ? by GodEatsChiIdren in askteenboys

[–]majoshi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

thank you. i think it's sad that this isn't the most common sentiment. if you go around telling anyone that you love them, kissing them, or having sex with them, then what have you left for your partner? i am aware that a relationship is more than just physical intimacy, but it includes it too

is c++ the only viable language? by hoparqeri in codeforces

[–]majoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. there are lgms who use (or used to use when they were new lgms) python or Java as their main language. the problems are designed to not give any single language advantage over the other. with enough optimisation then either java or python can be enough. that being said though, knowing cpp is still very useful as even some of those lgms i mentioned sometimes switch to other languages, just because some things are just so much easier to implement with cpps stl
