From the time being i started CP i am learning many new algorithms and different ways to approach a problem. But i still don’t Know much about Data Structures to be precise i don’t know tree’s, graph, etc.
In the very small time i am doing CP, i noticed that most of the questions in Division 2 is more based on implementation on optimized solution rather than data structures.
Well i am in 1st year write now and i have lot of time to do practice so i was in confusion what should i start next Dynamic programming or tree and their standard algorithms.
I am also working on STL.
So What should i do keep practicing for more harder problem for time being and then move on to data structures when i feel i am comfortable.
Whatever according to you is best pls suggest me because in my college it couldn’t get help.
Thank You in advance.

focus on the logic behind the questions for now,you’ll have plenty of time to master the data structures later
How to be good in cp? Plz help.
practice easy problems then move your way up to harder ones,make sure to think your way through problems for at least 20-30 mins before looking at the solutions if you’re stuck.after a while you’ll be well off
