Hello all,

The editorials of ALL problems are now uploaded. I will appreciate any feedback regarding them. Nobody seems to tell if they liked it or not xD. I need it as I keep experimenting with stuff.

Each editorial has a TEST CASE BANK which is currently EMPTY . I will try to add the smaller test cases used in contest in them. Aside from that, any new test case added will be based on solutions getting WA. Users are requested to add test cases which they found tricky. It is a community contribution, lets try to make it a success.

I need feedback on ideas, hence please give that to guide my experimentation. Hope you enjoyed the problems and contest. Hope you enjoy the editorials even more.

EDIT-

Some things I experimented this time were-

  • Integrating implementation with approach/explanation
  • Focusing more on best implementation for the 2 easy problems.
  • Test case bank (will add test cases in an hr or so).

Please give your feedback about these 3 things as well, so I can know which things to modify, which to keep and which to remove :slight_smile:

EDIT2- The links and tags are fixed. All test cases for problems (except GOODPERM and NUMCOMP) were huge. Will request setter if he can make any small test cases for you guys.

Regards

Such detailed and enthralling editorials are the highlights of this contest!!
The Test Case Bank, may prove to be a great idea as it lays middle ground between making test cases public after the contest and not revealing anything at all.
Good Work @vijju123 !!
