Codeforces

Participated on codeforces in rated contest, tried my hands on first problem i.e. level A yeah I got the logic on time and then I spent my 2 hours on the same problem but at the end failed to implement it. So, yeah I didn't solved even a single problem in today's contest. Yes,yes,yes....I am feeling little bad but its okay! I got to learn lots of new concepts during that 2 hours of searching & solving and ofcourse got to know it demands lots of practice, time, dedication, passion and most important patience.

Here is the problem link of first problem of the contest: Level-A Omkar and Bad Story

AtCoder

First time participated in rated contest at AtCoder Total 6 questions was there in the contest of which I have solved 2 problems and I guess both of them are of easy level. Just I was about to solve the third problem but the clock stuck 07:10 pm and then what..??...Contest ends😅. Actually, my bad I had participated in the contest 45min late.

Ok!!! So here are the 2 problems which I have solved today!

ps: Although I didn't understand their rating system but after participating in first contest at Atcoder my results are like this:

  • Rank : 75836th---😅
  • Rating: 2(provisional)---😅

After giving contest I am not happy though but I am satisfied that atleast I participated.

So here ends the complete summary of today's contests 😅😅😅😅!

GeeksForGeeks

Today I have started learning & revising Linked List data structure from gfg.

📋Topics:

  • ✔️Problems With Array Data Structures
  • ✔️Introduction to Linked List
  • ✔️Simple Linked List Implementation in C++.
  • ✔️Traversing a Linked List in C++
  • ✔️Recursive Traversal of Singly Linked List
  • ✔️Insert at Begin of Singly Linked List
  • ✔️Insert at the end of Singly Linked List
  • ✔️Delete First Node of Singly Linked List
  • ✔️Delete Last Node of Singly Linked List
  • ✔️Insert at given position in Singly Linked List

And last but not the least prepared some notes on Linked List from gfg and.... Yeah here ends the Day 06 of #360DaysOfCoding.😋

Don't feel bad . In the beginning everyone faced the same problem. I also faced the same problem 6 months ago , but now I am Expert on codeforces (Rating 1647)

If you don't feel comfortable while solving problem A. Then do solve around 30-40 (rated range 800-1000) problems on codeforces. Most of the time we have to think of O(1) (Time complexity ) solution in problem A but sometimes we have to solve in brute force way.

If you feel stuck while solving problems , then read editorials.

For solving Problem A: You have the knowledge of basic Maths and sometime greedy solutions. Always try to think the solution in 4 to 5 minutes

For Problem B : Prefix Sums , Greedy(Multiset lower_bound function is important ). Do solve around 80-90 problems (rated range <=1400). Always try to think the solution in less than 40 minutes

For Problem C : DP, DFS,Graphs, Trees,Strings .

Give virtual contests thrice a week.

If you have a friend who is good in CP , take his/her advice and discuss problems that you are facing during contests with him/her . This will help you a lot and day by day you feel comfortable in solving problems A,B,C.

Solve as much problems as you can , give all the contests on codeforces and codechef.

Give at least 3 hours a day for CP. Solve at least 5 problems a day.

Be consistent for 2 to 3 months and then you will see a huge change in your problem solving skills.

Always stay motivated . I hope this will help you , I am new at hashnode , I joined it today

Hello👋 Abhishek, Welcome to Hashnode! 😊 Thankyou so much for the helpful advice! This is really very helpful, from now I'll practice and will participate in contests by keeping all these points in mind. And I am glad that you liked my post and you have shared your knowledge with me.
