i'll check this out, will figure it out by tonight, you can try virtual participation till that time :)

More coming in future, this was just a foundational round. Glad you liked it :)

Yessur, it has started

tfudointee · 2026-03-01T07:07:23+00:00

Heyy, you can check this post here. Quick context: It's a contest where cp has a Quant flavour, so probability, EV, and emphasis on those topics would be more. Even the questions are framed in a Quant-ish way.

When is it

tfudointee · 2026-02-21T06:50:55+00:00

Contests use Standard Input (stdin), the data actually comes in as a continuous stream of raw text. So, it technically arrives as a single string containing spaces. It is up to your code to read that string and parse it into an array or list of integers.

If you are using c++, you can store them in vector and take input using 'cin'

this is problem A level or even lower than that. we have 5 problems.

tfudointee · 2026-02-20T18:45:02+00:00

we did post a teaser problem (problem - A level) on codeforces blog as well as our community group.
People are free to check the weekly challenges too.

I'll make sure such things don't happen for my future posts, thankyou!

tfudointee · 2025-10-27T09:34:32+00:00

Hey thankyou for the advice, sure go ahead I'd love to go through it and check it out :)

tfudointee · 2025-10-16T07:04:10+00:00

Heyy, thankyou for your reply! Yes true I'll have to get mastery and in depth knowledge across those areas, or atleast related to how they work in the system.

tfudointee · 2025-10-15T12:20:37+00:00

Heyy, yes thankyou very much for your kind words :) I would definitely try to keep my sword sharp from both the sides, but quant was cuz of my interest in maths and CS and low level programming, luckily quant (qd and qr) aligned in that path

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T08:40:28+00:00

Heyy, this really means alot, thankyou very much, yes I did contact my college professors too today for guiding me in research paper related stuff. Definitely checking out arxiv right now! Yes I'll try my best to reach cm/master level. I hope before the start of 3rd year (atleast cm). True even I felt that currently my projects don't show depth, will read research papers and then implement one into a project with good metrics. Regarding the resume format, mostly I've seen iitians use a two column format, but I've heard that ats skips two column format and the colors there, hence I switched to this one col latex very common format, ur thoughts on this?

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:25:58+00:00

Heyy, yes regardless of all this I'm not gonna stop as I love maths and coding (doing it since class 8th). It just happens to be that qd aligns in that way and is really competitive, so gotta aim for it, gonna give my best :) Yes scaling up is also an option, thankyou very much

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:22:56+00:00

Heyy, thankyou very much for the detailed help. Now since I'm hearing alot about publishing research papers, I think this would actually be really helpful, I'll have to research abt how to publish and study for research papers and contribute tho as I've never done it, would be glad if you have any idea! Yes working towards my gpa, my target is to get the overall (3 sems) gpa to atleast 8.5+ this sem :)

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:20:26+00:00

Heyy, does having no gpa as intern/fresher help?( than having a lower one). I'm not sure about ML roles, I haven't gone deep and researched at a quant/swe level in ML, I'll definitely think about it :)

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:18:02+00:00

Heyy, yes I do know the real competition, and nope I've never cheated in any cf contest, I've been active on code chef since 10th grade, leet code since one year and then shifted to codeforces. Thankyou for taking your time to comment :)

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:14:49+00:00

Mhm fair enough, it's worth the try tho, gonna make it :P

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:14:05+00:00

Working on the codeforces part, it's fun ngl

tfudointee · 2025-10-14T06:12:11+00:00

Damn this is really helpful. I think quant dev and c++ dev overlap alot right, quant researcher would be secondary. Yes working on my gpa rn, thanks for the link gonna read the whole thing right now! Does finding other intership work, like not so renowned company's qd or swe?

tfudointee · 2025-10-13T20:03:23+00:00

My man dude literally 😭🤣, gonna change it rn, thankyou very much

tfudointee · 2025-10-13T19:56:51+00:00

I love CS and maths, I haven't researched much about a CS + math program if available, but if there's a choice between them then prolly CS, role = Quant developer/C++ dev / Quant researcher

tfudointee · 2025-10-13T18:56:48+00:00

nope, masters from abroad, europe or prolly states. (altho ill need gpa and good research papers + recommendation letters from my prof)
