Is there any feature in codeforces wherein I can see the list of all virtual contests(not just the recent ones) given by me. Or if there exists any plugin that would also be helpful.

Hello everyone, I wanted to know that how should one revise previously solved question on codeforces. Is it necessary to revise previously solved problems or one should keep on solving new problems? What is the best way to improve?

Hello coders, recently I came across this thing that many people who are new to CP often find it difficult to reduce the time complexity of their algorithm. They know the O(n^2) or any higher complexity algorithm but find it hard to reduce it to better time complexity. I request my fellow coders who are now comfortable in reducing the time complexity of their algorithms, to share their approaches and thought processes. This will help many people to think along those lines and eventually get better. Thanks and hope this post may help many.

Can anyone share their approach for the problem https://atcoder.jp/contests/arc101/tasks/arc101_a?

How many problems should one practice in atcoder beginner's past contests to become specialist in codeforces ? In other words in every past beginner contest how many problems should one practice to become specialist at codeforces?

Hello peeps, I'm doing codeforces for some time now. But I'm not able to rise the ladder. What should be my strategy to rise the ladder efficiently? Right now I only do codeforces problems. Should I practice from some other online judge as well.I'm struggling. Please help. Thanks in advance

In the editorial for the question https://codeforces.me/contest/1361/problem/A What is being stored by "last" and "ans" arrays ?

}

Here is pair structure pair<long long , pair<long, long>> I want the pair with largest first element on the top of the priority queue, if first element is same the check for the smallest first element in the second pair. But my code is doing the reverse.

I'm working out this code for the question https://codeforces.me/contest/1353/problem/D

Please help

Hello everyone, as we all know that codeforces problemset has the feature to filter problems by topics. I wish it should also have tags for a particular type of problems such as div2/C or div2/D, so that people can practice using this filter. I believe this feature could help all those who are stuck at a particular problem each time they give a contest, to overcome this barrier.

Thanks !!

Can anyone help whats wrong in my code. https://codeforces.me/contest/1055/submission/75341727

Btw it works fine on ideone.

Can someone give me a detailed solution for the problem https://codeforces.me/contest/1167/problem/C. Please don't refer the tutorial, I have already gone through it.

include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

const int N = 1000043; vector g[N];

int color{n int siz[N]; int n, m; int cc = 0;

int dfs(int x) { if(color[x]) return 0; color[x] = cc; int ans = (x < n ? 1 : 0); for(auto y : g[x]) ans += dfs(y); return ans; }

int main() { scanf("%d %d", &n, &m); for(int i = 0; i < m; i++) { int k; scanf("%d", &k); for(int j = 0; j < k; j++) { int x; scanf("%d", &x); --x; g[x].push_back(i + n); g[i + n].push_back(x); } } for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { if(!color[i]) { cc++; siz[cc] = dfs(i); } printf("%d ", siz[color[i]]); } }

What's the use of color[N], siz[N] and cc?
