Hello guys, I am currently a newbie on Codeforces. I wanna give NOI next year and will start preparing from February 2026. I wanna know how to get good most efficiently, like I know just solve problems, but still, how to? Do I sort the problem set by difficulty, then if I see a new algorithm, how much do I learn about it, like the very advanced stuff about it, or just the basics and also what would be a good estimate of questions to practice daily? Any strategy or guidance would be greatly appreciated Thanks

I have decided to use CSES introductory problems understand every concept presented in them and then move onto codeforces 800 rated problems as the easiest are doable but the upper echelon of 800 rated problems are still difficult to figure on my own It has been 2 weeks since I have started competitive programming after tackling 800 I'm thinking to start CPH is the approach right? any guidance or correction in my approach would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for taking time to read this
