What are credits and how can get more of them?

what are credits exactly? it asked to me verify my phone number and i’ll be able to access the pro sub-modules. I verified, those modules still say PRO but now i have an option that says ‘access now’, and it says this when i click it, “You currently have 2 credits, unlocking this submodule will cost you 1 credit. Do you want to continue?”.
someone please explain this credits concept and how do i get more credits?

Ah, I see! You’re referring to CodeChef’s credit system, which is used to unlock access to additional resources beyond the free content.

CodeChef provides a mix of free and premium content for users. Here’s a breakdown of how the credit system works on CodeChef:

  • Free Material: CodeChef offers a selection of problems and materials that are available for free. These are usually basic problems or older content.
  • Pro Package: To access more advanced content, such as exclusive problems, tutorials, or premium challenges, you’ll need the Pro subscription.
  • Credits: CodeChef gives out credits as part of their system. You can use these credits to unlock premium content. The number of credits you get depends on factors like:
    • Signing up for the platform.
    • Completing certain activities.
    • Sometimes they offer bonus credits for promotional events or challenges.

So, in your case:

  • You have 2 credits right now.
  • If you want to unlock premium content, each premium problem or module might cost a certain number of credits (in your example, 1 credit to unlock a submodule).
  • If you run out of credits, you can either wait for more to be given or you may need to purchase additional credits (if that’s an option on CodeChef).
