Everule's blog

I found a website https://recommender.codedrills.io where you can see your strong and weak topics. I'm curious to know what topics others find easy. Here's mine.

    Screenshot-169.png Looks Like everybody here is strong and weak in almost the same topics

      Ok I checked how the topics are calculated, and it seems that it uses the number of users who have solved a problem to estimate it's difficulty.

      The problem is that certain topics have fewer submissions, despite being similar in difficulty, because some problems are easier to solve after reading the tutorial, and some topics may require more implementation, turning away potential solvers.

      Not actually, it shows that my strong areas are Flows, Geometry, Games, Bitmasks, and Probabilities :D

I don't think that this is 100% accurate because I've rarely solved problems through binary search

Although its spot on when it comes to my weak areas

    Because there are problems solvable with various techniques. Maybe there were several binary-search problems which you solved with other techniques, so it won't know which one you used

Thats cool but cfviz is better i think to show the plots! But the website you put the link was good too.

it's showing greedy as one of my strong areas..But fact is i am very poor at this type of problem...any suggestion to increase my logics in this type of problems.

I don't know how this thing works. But for me, it sounds unrealistic. It tells me that I am weakest in Ad-hoc problems. Although, I am usually good at it. It tells me I am strong in graphs and trees. Although I am weak in it. Also, for most of the people results are pretty near to each other.

    If you are bad at some topic, you'll do more questions based on that topic, and I think this thing judges your skills by the number of submissions for a particular topic.Thus,the discrepancy.

Now help me in my weak areas :-)

i'm still trying to get good at just basic implementation it's a really underrated skill to be able to solve problems completely logically w/o using advanced data structures or anything. so like anything math, greedy, brute force, combo, etc.

      Proportionally speaking, still a shitter in thinking relative to all the random ds and techniques i know :(

That page is not accurate, it shows that I have Strong Areas but I'm weak in pretty much everthing.

I am not good at DP. No nee Jo aye laa nein nahi. But it gives practice recommendations. That seems cool.

The site says I am weak at brute force. Someone plz give me tips on how to be good at brute force lol..

    below your weak section, it gives practice problems. Practice brute force problems from there. XD

I personally find my weakest topic to be DP and here it goes on to show that it's my strong topic :\

Edit :- Anyway, nice tool, I guess I can find some use in it's " Practice Recommendations " section.

Does anyone have strong math? Everyone seem to be weak in math.

    It says I have strong Math and Number Theory but I highly doubt it

      It says I have strong data structures.....I don't even know anything besides segment tree

Check this codeforces visualizer

It's lot more informative, as compared to codedrill, It also lets you compare two codeforces accounts.

It works, the strong points and weak points make sense! Congratulations!

I am not sure if it takes into account the correlation between the topics and complexity of the problems. It says that my weak topic is math and number theory, and these are literally the only things that keep me afloat in CP :)

For me, it showed that i like DS and Graph correctly, and i Hate Geometry, but i would say that i kinda hate Number Theory.
Overall cool tool.

Any alternative for this nowadays? The former site seems to be taken down
