man my acc j got recognised by a schoolmate of mine… oops

this morning i had a talk in school about how to communicate effectively to get what i want. it was rather interesting and especially entertaining when we got to watch our schoolmates roleplay some of the scenarios hehe

i attempted to revise the classic techniques of competitive programming which included greedy, binary search and sliding window. i’m still unsure on how to apply the sliding window algorithm on problems that don’t specify the window size but i’ll figure it out i hope… the hint provided was to binary search the window size but i’m lost as hell

4h of coding

finally set up my github acc and added a readme file to better document my progress

Any facts about competitive programming?

There's a scene in The Social Network where the Facebook founders find a new hire by having students compete to finish a program while getting drunker and drunker. There's a scene in Swordfish where the villain tests a new hire by having him hack into a government site while getting a blow job with a gun to his head. For years I confused these scenes and thought Mark Zuckerberg had some funky hiring practices.

Little did I know...

competitive programming isnt about "studying to get a job" or "learning new algorithms"

competitive programming is writing the worst code you've ever written in your life but its fine because you're only going to use this once

Anyone have experience with Codeforces or competitive programming in general? I’m very curious about that whole world and would love some insight on it (advice, opinion, resources, etc.)

Hey how to get well versed in programming?I learnt C++ but when it comes to competitive programming I find it hard to solve the problems

hi, thanks for asking! i don’t have a lot of experience with competitive programming, but i think i can point you to the right direction.

you can only get better at programming with practice, but i’m sure we all know that. competitive programming is a great way to practice, but it can be frustrating when you can’t solve an exercise. that’s why i’d start looking into solved examples of competitive programming exercises, where you don’t have the time constraint that most challenge websites do. take your time analyzing and understanding each part of the code.

of course that won’t do you any good if you lack the knowledge to understand it. make sure you become familiar with data structures and algorithms, as some programming courses fail to teach those. i myself am only learning it right now! and a lot of the exercises/challenges demand you to have that knowledge.

here are a few websites that can help you more than i can!

there are a lot of links i know, it can be quite overwhelming! but they’re there mostly as guidelines for you to choose your own path while learning ds&algorithms/competitive programming. good luck!

and yes most are from geeksforgeeks but i love that website what can i do
