I have completed my icpc regional contest this season, silver medal. And in 2025-2026 season, I will be a year 4 student, preparing for graduation.
It's time for me to leave. Codeforces is a nice website. Goodbye, Codeforces.
My 2-year competition history:
- Nov 2022, campus contest, bronze medal.
- Mar 2023, campus freshman contest, gold medal, admitted to college icpc team.
- Nov 2023, regional contest, bronze medal.
- Nov 2024, regional contest, silver medal.
what were your main platform?
Here, I think.
how can you solve this few number and became master ?
IDK. I don't think 600 problems is 'few' to become master. In stories, people solve 500 problems and advance to world final. (It's not the case nowadays, but early icpc. But my point is that 500 problems is a lot.)
How come I solved more than 550 problems and still a newbie?
:(
maybe IQ wait the blue guy may come
I am stupid then ig
You get stronger with more effort
the blue guy he's talking about- 123gjweq2
It depends on how you solve them, how hard they are, ...
I think you need to study more algorithms, constructive structures, tricks, ... and have a good tutor. It's great if you follow courses
Indeed, I need specific recommendations for YouTube channels. I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I would love to help you but unfortunately we are not from the same country, we do not share the same language. So it is better to ask the experts,CM, Masters,... in your country for advice.
Thank you for your time.
no
Emotional Damage for blues and grays. I'm gonna touch grass and give up..
Goodbye and Good Luck.
U will Stop Solving problems, Participating in contests.... But still I guarantees u will open codeforces to see what's happening , Bcz CF is Love Anyways..Good Bye Sir
True. CF is love.
In your algorithm competition career, may I ask how many problems you have solved? I would like to reference this for my understanding.
I estimate
Don't leave it ,just take a break:)
You have solved 232+ problems in rated contests, I wonder excluding upsolving how much did you practice? Not sure if becoming a master with this much problems is easy!
No one needs to solve thousands of problems, just the right ones.
How do you choose the right problems?
First step would probably be to close codeforces in this search.
atcoder?
Can you please elaborate more on the "right problems"? Any platform to practice on specifically?
One really should find their own. But I think these help greatly.
recently cf has been changed to gf(greedy forces)

Best wishes!
Good luck!
Welcome to the club, buddy.
What do you do nowadays?
Study CS at university.
Learned anything new?
Yes, a lot.
Once a competitive programmer, always a competitive programmer...
Good Luck and Have Fun in your college life. Goodbye.
