How to develop speed and accuracy while solving Ad Hoc Problems

Hi CC Community !

I wanted to ask you all something, I’m facing trouble developing speed and accuracy while solving Ad-Hoc Problems like the Codeforces Div 2 A,B.

I am able to solve them eventually but It’s not good in terms of time taken and WAs received

How do you you all suggest to improve on speed and accuracy part? :slightly_smiling_face:

There is nothing special about those special people. They have practiced enough questions and they are able to see patterns fast enough which generally Specialists are not able to see

What I meant was to develop any skill, you need to practice those kind of questions. Some people understand things quickly, someone else might need to practice more questions to get an intuition for those kind of questions. If suppose you are weak in Ad-hoc problems then practice those on CC/CF.

Do you test your code in a local environment before submitting it?

Yes testing on several corner Test cases makes the situation more clear in most of the cases.

Yea, that might help with the accuracy. :slightly_smiling_face:
