to all the people who just downvote for no reason. please dont downvote others comments and blogs. people downvote only because they dont want to see other people succeed. so just a gentle and a genuine concern i am raising here about the mental wellbeing of the people on codeforces. love others, try to see positive of others. dont downvote others. be happy always :)

Hello everyone,

I am practicing on CF since some months and I am facing two problems again and again.

  1. Problem statements are sometimes confusing

Many times the idea of the problem is easy, but I waste a lot of time just to understand what the statement is asking. It would be good if testers also check the wording of the statement, and not only the solution.

  1. Many old problems have no editorial

When I get stuck in older problems, there is no editorial or only a one-line comment like “use DP”. For beginners it is very difficult to understand the logic like this.

Maybe a community editorial option can be added, or at least a note that the editorial is not available.

Did anyone else face the same thing? If you know good resources for old problems, please share in comments, it will help everyone.

Thanks for reading
