I noticed you upgraded your comment to a new thread, Here is my reply to that comment in this thread.

first one item you probably missed: IO
One important one you missed is algorithmic design paradigms. These are some “default” methods to solve a problem. These include Brute Force, Backtracking, Greedy, Divide and Conquer, and most importantly Dynamic Programming.

With regards to pointers: the concept of a pointer is important in understanding data-structures. But in practice I rarely use them in competitions because most data-structures are already pre-defined in the standard library.
