Hey, is cp-3 or cp-4 by steven halim a nice book to start with competitive programming?

first_semester · October 23, 2020, 4:17am

it is really good, but I don’t recommend it to beginners, you will get demotivated by it

leo_valdez · October 25, 2020, 1:37am

Thanks a lot, @first_semester finding the book useful already. Hopefully , I will get through most of it before the lunchtime contest.

cormenn [ clrs ]

ameybhavsar · October 25, 2020, 5:18am

CLRS is good from a academic view.
Not so good for competitive programming.

first_semester · October 25, 2020, 4:40pm

exactly not from cp’s view

first_semester · October 25, 2020, 4:41pm

welcome, I really enjoyed this book and why not as this is written by an Orange Coder of Codeforces

@first_semester pllk is red now

vishwas_10 · October 25, 2020, 6:07pm

can u suggest me something I am an absolute beginner (started with C++ about 3-4 days)(covered till oop from geeks for geeks , did 5-6 questions on CodeChef ,SPOJ and practice problems of C++ on HackerRank .
can u please suggest me some resources ( I have around 2 months before I join college (I want to be proficient in at least one lang before that)
please help

first_semester · October 25, 2020, 6:19pm

my bad

first_semester · October 25, 2020, 6:23pm

ofcourse Hackerrank C++ section is really good for having a strong grab at implementation of C++, I will suggest to do it 1 month with very high dedication so that you will be comfortable with all type of implementations in C++. After that start with Codechef long challenge, and also upsolve those problems which you would not be able to solve in contest. After this, I guess you will have good taste of how CP works so now you can participate in each and every contest organized by every website. Give all short and long challenges and upsolve them. This is the key, go for it and All the best for your future

vishwas_10 · October 25, 2020, 6:31pm

long challenge aren’t they hard considering I just have basic knowledge (and 3 days experience)
I will be trying the lunchtime on this 31st can you suggest me something that I study before that
