So recently I was asked a question? Why this code compile and does not give RTE, it had to do something with virtual memory if you use a vector array instead it will provide bad_alloc as RTE. So what is the reason behind it or is it compiler dependent?

But the hint was to think about how virtual memory can be used here.

So I had my interview scheduled for Goldman Sachs and they rejected me after 3 rounds of interviews i.e after all rounds That's fine until a girl from my department with approximately 7 cgpa got an offer from Goldman. For people who don't know, a rank of 1000 for me equals a rank of 4000 for a girl in jee advance for getting the same department. I am not an expert in CP I can improve, I want to but.......... At this point please don't shortlist boys if you don't want to be fair, I missed an interview with a company because of Goldman, and for every Indian university student (male). Don't try hard, nothing is going to change.(At least for a job)

Edited: I got an offer from NVIDIA. Some good after all.

So in the recent contests and tests, I felt that I lost more points by making silly mistakes. I feel that increasing my ability to focus will help me improve.

But how to do so???

• I tried high-intensity exercises before 1-1.5 hrs of a contest (doesn't seem to help at all).
• I have tried to follow a good sleep schedule (helps but I failed miserably to follow it for more than 2 days).

So I wanted to ask about the practices you people use while practicing and before a contest.

Thanks!!
