Can someone help me by giving me feedback on how to improve my rating? I am feeling stuck, I am unable to improve myslef, which results in making me stuck in Grey. This is also making me a bit frustrated.
What I do for practice -> I am solving this Sheet currently. I am currently practicing 1000-110 rated problems. I have solved the 800-900 rated problems from this. What I do while solving a problem is --> I first try to implement the intuition that first comes up, then I am either able to implement it or while implementing I realize my intuition is not correct, and after this, I just get stuck on one intuition, I am unable to think of any other intuition, I still try to come with an intuition which is very similar to I previously thought of. if I am unable to solve a problem after thinking for 30-60 mins, I look at the solution.
There are many times, when I am unable to think of any intuition and then I right away look at the solution within 20-30 mins
Like in the last Contest 969, I was unable to solve any problem, I started solving A and got frustrated when I thought my logic of finding coprime triplet, was giving WA. Then after feeling disappointed, I was unable to solve B, even though solving B required just a bit of observation
do more 1000-1300 problems. And once you solved try to see the editorial to see how to solve it in a different way. If u were unable to solve one see editorial or watch a video tutorial and try to understand the concept by yourself rather than jump into the next problem. also upsolve after a contest.
+1 for upsolving
And maybe try VC-ing more div 4s and div 3s
what do you mean by VC-ing?
vc = virtual contest
ohk
Learn ftt and other simple algorithms. That way you can become Green like me
What's FTT?
I saw your graph, and saw that you just started CP in July. Don't stress too much about becoming green or anything as you are still new at it. Try solving the questions from 1000 to 1200 on the TLE sheet, and instead of just looking straight up at the solutions. Try to understand the reasoning behind the solution. That will help you improve for sure.
Cute Dog, bhai ye tera kutta hai ?
solve problems by urself , dont ask to much, solve more n more problems, everyones neuron development is not same, maybe be it can take twice much effort than others, Sometimes u know how to solve the problems but u lack confidence in building solution beacuse u never tried, note how u model problems little observations where u started thinking from,like what concept it could be.
Note most hard problems are lengthy so make urself comfortable for writing long codes, one start can be is to find minimal sufficent observations to begin with solving hard problems
Its all about what comes in your when u read something, start with constrainsts, test cases always think what is coming to ur mind on reading problems, if nothing come in ur head then problem is either simple problem with guesses and checks and derivation, maths, constructive one all which is useless u cant do anything about them u may get them sometimes or it could be a new idea that can be used in other problems
