Do you plan on uploading the recordings on youtube maybe?

Hey, how can I access the recording?

You piece of shit. Look into the mirror and ask yourself what have you gained from cheating. You are a disgrace. Your parents will be ashamed of you.

Yes, I would love it! Upvoted.

How do the students who become LGM at a very young age in China study? I mean how do they find so much time for it. I am just curious.

LMFAO Is this some troll account??

How old is Um_nik? If anyone could tell me please. Also, Is there an age limit for participating in ICPC or we just have to be university students?

What the fuck will you do after knowing his journey to LGM? Reach cyan or blue first.

Bro you are annoying as fuck!

Hi, I am not able to update my competition profile. Whenever I click on the "Save" button, it shows a message — "Error performing query". Can you help?

Nothing will work for you. You know why? Because I have been seeing you comment stupid shit on youtube and codeforces for more than a year. How many problems you have solved on codeforces? 125! I want to say a lot more but cf will ban me.

You yourself are Indian or Bangladeshi bro lmao. Just by adding California to your location, you don't become American.

Hi, Sorry for being ignorant but Is Google available in China? I thought they are banned in China.

This is such a well written article. Thank you.

Good idea! However, account creation and solving practice problems should be free but if someone wants to compete in a contest, then charge a small fee.

Russian cunt

If you, rotavirus or any other guy has to make racist joke and still not get called for it, do it among your real life friends. Codeforces is not a place for that. Be respectful or get banned. There are other ways to joke around without hurting people's sentiments.

It also has to do with how they are pushed (by parents or their education system idk) to study subjects like Maths from a very young age in comparison to other countries.

he was being sarcastic ig and so are you

Bro stfu, KAN already told you it will take few weeks. Can't you be patient?

Downvote this guy!

Not really true if you've seen JEE Advanced physics problems. Mains, yes. But isn't it true in cp aswell? I mean upto 2100 rating you don't have to that smart or something, just solve lots of problems till that level and you will start seeing same patterns in contests aswell. After that, the top people keep on going, same for top rankers in JEE. So, it is just other competitions like JEE. It might be that you are better at cp that pcm so you hate it which is understandable.

I agree with the fact that there should be alternative for guys who are privileged enough to know cp from a young age but because of our population, it is very difficult.

And you first line is incorrect, apart from chemistry there isn't any rote learning and memorization involved. In fact, Physics is a very very good means to judge someone's understanding capabilty (even more than cp) if you are getting admission in a supposedly "Engineering" colleges. CP has nothing to do with someone being good at CS research.

True.

8/11 active reds are IITians.

But almost everyone who get CS in top IITs(of course the general quota) have done tremendously well if you look at the alumni. How are you going to judge then who should get the CS seats when the majority of the bright students don't have resources or know anything about CS.

CP is also very very different from actual CS so its not an indicator aswell if someone will do well in CS research etc. Its all about testing analytical skills same as JEE(maybe chemistry is an exception).

It is not just for computer science though. It is for whatever field of Engineering you want to study in the best universities of India. Computer Science just seem to be the most popular choice for obvious reasons.

It is one of the toughest. Definitely not the toughest.

I know you were not able to qualify for it. No need to be salty about it.

Yes, if you do cp with the motivation of getting a job you won't go far. Because once Indian students reach like CM or Master, they start getting interview calls from google,facebook and other really high paying companies and once you receive the offer letter, the motivation to push yourself even more kind of dies.

You are right.

When we are in school, we only care about JEE exams(around 1.5 mil students appear for some 10k seats(around 1k in CS ig) which is a route to the best universities of India. So, we focus on Physics, Chemistry and Maths until the age of 18. So,when the very best students of India(let's say the top 500 in the JEE exams) are introduced to CS, around 90% of them go for research route instead of starting another rat race for some other competition as they have already proved themselves. I'd say 90% of students didn't even know what programming was before 18 but its definitely changing now a days. Still, as long as the JEE exam is there, I don't think cp is going to be that popular among high schoolers.

And very few best students from India take up cp as in the students who were ranked top 100 in India in JEE exams. I don't think even 5% of them take up cp because they already have proved themselves by becoming top in such a difficult exam. They take the research route during university when they are introduced to CS and don't care about going for another stupid(maybe) competition.

How to solve D using recursive dp? Is it possible? I wrote the recursive function to compute the number of twos but it is very confusing how to extract the solution out of it.

It does actually. Lots of really high paying software developer jobs ask really tough problems in their online coding round like div 2 D/E/F level and interview prep sites contain mostly classical or easy problems so Codeforces helps in general.

I am not arguing. Just providing you some insights.

Omg yes, I didn't know about it. Thank you

I think Codeforces should include an option to hide the recent sections because I'm sick of it. Almost everyone on this platform is racist and/or toxic be it Russians/Indians/Chinese/Polish/Red Coders/LGMs/Grays in equal proportion. More abuse than problem/question or contest discussion now a days.

May your Uncle rest in peace.

Pretty bold from someone whose country brought Coronavirus in this world. If we are playing this racist game, let's do it openly.

"Problem" and "Question" has multiple meaning. Problem is not only used for cp or related problems. If someone says he's facing some problems in his life doesn't implies codeforces problems. It can have multiple meaning and both can be correct aswell.

Why did you reply with the link (leetcode.com/problemset/all) ?

"Enjoy solving questions then".

People also say to use problem/task instead of questions. Task-solving isn't appropriate either.

True haha.

I just gave that reference because that's an American company while Radewoosh is trying to make fun of or trigger a bunch of Indian teenagers by claiming "question" is incorrect. (He has done this too many times so ignoring it is not an option sadly)

They use phrases like "Top Google Questions" , "Top interview questions" for their algorithmic "problems". So, I don't see how it is wrong even though I admit "problem" suits more.

Surely you are not 100% correct when not a single individual but a certain part of the community is taking offense. Not that hard to understand. Leetcode is an American company and it use phrases like "Top Google interview questions", "Top Amazon interview questions" for the algorithmic problems on their website. So, using "question" is not incorrect either.

Read point 2 and explain why I shouldn't use the word "question" for codeforces "problems". I'm just curious.

Click on the link you gave and look at the right side of the page.

Calm down lmao. How is being good at cp has any correlation with it? Does it mean that if tourist makes fun of Indians, you will let it slide because he's tourist??

Pretty conveniently you decided to ignore the fact that a popular american company uses the word "question" for algorithmic problems. Have a nice day.

I actually saw your yt vid ICPC Swiss Subregional with radewoosh and he was struggling to speak a complete sentence in English. Embarrassing from him if that's how we are going to judge. I am not sure whether I should make fun of him or not.

Of course, I meant it between "problem" and "question" you genius.

And Leetcode is literally an American company.

We have always used the word "question" from our early age so we're used to saying "question". In fact, apart from cf, I have never said "problem" elsewhere. Also if you go to leetcode, they have so many sections like "Top interview quesions", "Top Amazon questions" etc. Are they wrong too? Neither are wrong, Say whatever you like.

Why? Just because he's LGM, does it give him free pass to be partly racist and make fun of Indians?? Or he should stop being ignorant and understand that if most of the Indians write the word "question" instead of "problem", it means that that's what they have been taught in school? 99.9% of Indian students aren't introduced to cp before age 18.

Ratioed

why are the problems showing in russian for me?

Ratio

My rating has been fluctuating from 1750 to 1850 for last 6 months so I asked for it. Why such negativity? Are you 2300 on cf? Lol

This went over my head. Please make some lectures for guys with rating range 1600-1900. Thanks. By the way, you explain very well, I have watched your previous videos.

FEED ME MORE!!

waiting for this be like(

Errichto requesting you to explain problem C if there's a codeforces stream today.

It's a technical product manager which involves something related to cp. Hackerrank also have Product Manager intern role on their careers portal so of course it's related imo.

Hi, the job descriptions says it requires 4+ years of experience. Can fresh grads apply for it? Thanks
