Prod Based Companies and to do well in Coding Sites and
Competitions)

All the following questions have been answered in this video ->

1. What does the CP list primarily focus on ?
2. How have the problems been selected ?
3. How many problems do you need to do in order to get concepts required for coding
rounds ?
4. What apart from the CP list do we need to do?
Pre-requisites: Point 1 and Point 2
1. Before starting off CP, make sure you know one language, which means you how to
take an input, print something, run for loops, snd STL/Collection for the language you
are using, these things are more than enough to start, just don’t think you need
everything in place to start, so just start.
2. At first make sure your constructive algorithms are good, which means you can solve
simple story line problems. For that my suggestion will be to do A2OJ
ladder(alternative: https://a2oj.herokuapp.com/), 50 A problems and 50 B level
problems to start off with.
3. Next I will be giving you the algorithms name you need to know and 5-10 problems
on each of them. These problems will help you to understand the concept of the
algorithm, and will help you to understand how we can tweak the algorithms to solve
given problems. Even after this you don’t feel comfortable with the Algorithm, my
suggestion will be to google some more problems and solve. To reach an expert level
at Codeforces, you just need to solve A, B and C problems at quick succession and
on a constant basis. There are very few chances that you will be encountering an
algorithmic problem on Codeforces unless and until its the D level problem or
beyond. So you need to do as many algorithmic problems as you can, which will help
you during your coding rounds.
Note: The Algorithmic Problems might require a mixture of Algorithms in order to be
solved, so be careful while you think, just don’t think on a particular algo only.
Disclaimer: If you feel it's getting tough, I will suggest to do SDE sheet as well as
you can, and take the concepts as properly as you can!!
