How to practice algorithm for newbie?
By HGGMco15, history, 4 weeks ago, In English

Hi everyone, I just created a new account on Codeforces to practice competitive programming. I am currently a Newbie I am comfortable with basic programming syntax, but I want to improve my problem-solving skills systematically. I can usually solve problems A and B in Div. 3 or Div. 4 contests, but I often get stuck on problem C or when a problem requires specific algorithmic thinking. I would appreciate any advice on the following questions:

  1. What core algorithms or mathematical topics should a Newbie master first to consistently solve Div. 3/Div. 4 C problems?What is the most effective way to practice?

  2. Should I solve problems by specific tags (like greedy or math) or just pick random problems from the problemset within a specific rating range (e.g., 1100–1200)?

  3. Are there any specific training sheets, ladders, or groups you recommend for someone at my level? Thank you for your time and guidance!

go to a website called TLE Eliminators and follow its CP-31 sheet, it has every sort of problems (greedy , constructive algo, math, implementations) at every level from 800 — 1900. you can follow it if you want, i have been following that and i have also seen changes too...
