What it takes to get to expert ?
By Xbalanque, history, 4 months ago, In English

I am doing ABC in div2 consistently, sometimes i can do till D/E depends on situation.

Can I reach expert if I keep doing this or what change in plan do I need to adapt ?

Any guidance would be helpful.

    What about the submission times on your last contest? A: 1:59, B: 1:57, C: 1:51. First of all, if you're wanting to reach expert, nobody would solve in the order of C -> A. Second, this just looks completely unreal. Third, solve the problems faster than the times of when they get posted on telegram.

        Honestly all it took for me to reach expert was getting more familiar with basic STD data structures such as sets and familiarizing myself with binary search as well as improving my basic math skills. You also want to get very good at recognizing+solving greedy problems. Sometimes other algorithms like two-pointers, ternary search etc can also improve your contest results.

        Also you got this bro.

Here are some of the tips for u:

1) Code in only one Language during contest period. 2) Throw off your dirty Indian-ness (Mass Cheating Sickness).
