Hello Codeforces team and problem setters,
I would like to share a request that many competitive programmers on Codeforces likely feel but do not often say.
Most users on codeforces are beginners or below Pupil level. Many of us participate mainly in Div3 and Div4 contests because these contests are more suitable for our current skill level. They help us learn problem solving step by step and gain confidence.
However, these contests do not happen very frequently. Sometimes we have to wait many weeks for the next Div3 or Div4 contest. If possible, I would like to request the codeforces team to increase the frequency of Div3 and Div4 contests.
It would be very helpful if at least one Div3 or Div4 contest could be organized every week.
This will give beginners more chances to practice in real contests and improve their rating as they progress through the ranks.
Codeforces is one of the best platforms for learning competitive programming, and many students depend on it to improve their problem solving skills.
Thank you for all the effort you put into organizing contests and maintaining the platform. I hope you will consider this request.
Yeah I agree :)
Honestly I think the reason is that its difficult for codeforces to arrange a div.3/div.4 contest every week, especially since contests take some time to make and that they're thoroughly revised. Having div.3 and div.2 almost every week is pretty difficult for the codeforces team in my opinion. It'd still be nice to have it though.
cf problems don't grow on trees (though trees often grow in cf problems :p). they're written by people and those people need time to make them.
yeah but it depends on quality of problems (like atcoder now with weekday contests has 6 a week)
every week there is atcoder's Beginners contest, you may also do it.
i think codechef is better for a beginner than atcoder
try atcoder beginner and codechef starter contest. to improve problem solving
