My First Experience on Codeforces
My journey on Codeforces has started on a great note! I recently participated in a Div. 3 contest and found the problems really interesting and engaging. The structured difficulty progression in the contest kept me hooked, making the problem-solving experience both fun and challenging.
One thing I noticed is that Codeforces covers a vast range of topics, making it an excellent platform for sharpening competitive programming skills. Exploring different problem types and learning new techniques has been an exciting experience.
I'm happy to share that in my first Div. 3 contest, I secured an 8th rank! This achievement has motivated me to keep pushing forward and tackle even more challenging problems in upcoming contests.
A huge thanks to Codeforces for providing such an amazing platform for competitive programmers. Looking forward to solving more interesting problems and improving my skills!
See you all in the next contest!

so, you are saying a newbie can solve problem F in div3 in just 8 mins with no prior coding experience? man, atleast be true to yourself, you wont get anyting from cheating, focus on problem solving.
Haha, no, there's no such official rule on Codeforces that says a "newbie" can't solve an F problem. But in reality, F problems are usually quite challenging—often requiring advanced algorithms, data structures, and strong problem-solving skills.
However, if a so-called "newbie" manages to solve F, they probably aren't a newbie anymore!
please reply to my other comment and prove that you have not cheated in yesterday's contest

using namespace std;
int main(){ ios::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(nullptr);
int t; cin >> t; while(t--){ int n; cin >> n; vector<int> a(n); for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){ cin >> a[i]; } int bestDelta = 0; int bestL = 0, bestR = 0; for (int l = 0; l < n; l++){ int delta = 0; for (int r = l + 1; r < n; r++){ if(a[r] > a[l]) delta++; else if(a[r] < a[l]) delta--; if(delta < bestDelta){ bestDelta = delta; bestL = l; bestR = r; } } } if(bestDelta < 0) cout << bestL + 1 << " " << bestR + 1 << "\n"; else cout << 1 << " " << 1 << "\n"; } return 0;}
this was the leaked code for yesterday's div3 problem D and your submission matches with this submission even the variables are matching, now im starting to think that codeforces doesn't really check for plagiarism.
bro thinks we don't know what he did
rating are just number focus on yourself buddy
