How to self learn and solve problems?

If you visit my profile you will see that I'm not that good at problem solving. I solve only A type problems I have 1 year left to complete my college. I didn't do well in ICPC regional contest. I want a good CodeForce profile within this one year and a good problem solver as well. Is it even possible to do so??!!!

Things I know till now

  1. Basic Data structures and Algorithm;
  2. C++ STL;
  3. Binary Tree;
  4. Graph's Traversal, Dijkstra, Bellman, coloring and Bipartite, TopoSort, Cycle Detect, Minimum Spanning Tree
  5. Some Number theory topics.
  6. Backtracking and Recursion, Greedy;

at your level, I would advise you to solve more problems of level 800-1100

      try to read the editorial or watch some online videos that are explaining the solution. looking at the code is not good as u should implement sol on your own.

Solve this problem by yourself in O(N) and see the change:
