Hi everyone,

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

I want to know if creating my own code snippets for Data Structures (DSU, Trie, etc.) or Common Algorithms (KMP, Kruskal, etc.) and using them during a contest is against the rules.

If it is allowed, should I upload them to a public GitHub repository to establish "ownership"? I am worried about my solution being flagged by the plagiarism detector if the code looks similar to other submissions or standard implementations.

Thanks in advance!
