Hi, I'm Ethen, currently a Newbie and I wish to be Candidate Master ASAP by learning to think clearly under pressure. I'm following TLE Eliminators and some other resources to prepare myself.
I started my CP journey a while ago but didn't think much of it. But now, over the past 15–30 days, I'm thinking of taking it seriously. I have decided that I'm going to keep at for some time.
If you have experience in competitive programming, could you give me some advice and links to additional resources that will be useful for learning fast? I heard upsolving is a great way to level up. But I don't know much about it. I'm doing it all by myself as I'm not an engineering major. So any advice will be helpful and I'd really appreciate it.
First of all, I would recommend that you visit the blogs in the catalog on CF, especially the how to practice and how to think about solutions sections.
Secondly, A major constraint in CP is your implementation ability. So the way to go is to learn how to debug and write code better. It can be done by talking with people who are better than you and seeing how they implement things.
Good luck on your journey!.
