Competitive Programming: Ramp-up

This is to give you a ramp up towards CP from scratch and platforms for init_mains(). More resources for advanced level will be provided for Winter of Code after init_mains().

init_mains()

Language — C++ (preferred)

Note: Don't waste much time learning the language and getting into tiny details.

After init_mains()

What after init_mains()?

  • We will start with Winter of Code in December. Its Resources will be shared here soon!
    • But if you want to get started earlier, you can:
  • For CP, start following the USACO Guide (it’s good):
  • Start giving div3/div4 contests on Codeforces; after progress, start div2 as well. codeforces.com
  • Practice from the TLE Eliminator's CP-31 sheet (Follow it for question practice. It has very nice set of questions).
  • You can refer to Striver A2Z for DSA: Striver A2Z Playlist
  • Practice from the TLE sheet and start giving regular contests.
