Hi Codeforces! I'm Ahnaf, a beginner in competitive programming aiming to reach pupil within the next month. I’ve been solving about 5 problems daily, mainly 800–900 rated, by filtering recent problems by rating.↵
↵
My current routine is: think about the problem for 30 minutes, then read the editorial if I get stuck, and finally implement it on my own. I use C++ and feel a bit comfortable with basic STL like vector, map, set, sort(), and unique().↵
↵
I’d love feedback on whether this is a solid strategy to improve. Should I keep this approach? Also, what beginner-level topics should I focus on next to solve more problems and improve faster?↵
↵
So far, I’ve practiced basic C++, math, brute-force, and implementation problems. Any suggestions, topic lists, or schedules from experienced folks would really help!↵

Thanks in advanceey Codeforces! I'm Ahnaf, a beginner in CP and aiming to reach pupil in a month. I’m solving about 5 problems a day, mostly rated 800–900, and plan to solve around 100–120 problems at each rating before moving up (like 900–1000 next), by filtering recent problems by rating.↵

I’d love to know if this is a good way to improve. Should I keep doing this? Also, what beginner topics should I focus on next to solve more and get better faster?↵

So far, I’ve practiced basics of C++, math, brute force, and implementation. Any advice, topic lists, or practice plans from you guys would be awesome!↵

Thanks a lot!↵
