    I see. Is this your only account? You reached 1550 in 6 months. That's impressive. Do have any math background?

I gave my first contest on codeforces on 13th October 2024 and reached Specialist title on 12th Jan 2025, i.e., in around 3 months. For topics and tutorials, I followed LUV CP Playlist on YT and my college's CP wing classes. I upgrade rating of problems I solve after solving 20-30 questions of that rating, getting comfortable at solving problems of that particular rating. Baki to I was a serious JEE Advanced Aspirant, so those problem-solving skills developed in math and physics help a lot.

My approach for attempting any problem: Reading->Understanding->Observations->Patterns Finding->Logic Development->Logic Feasibility Testing (this step is usually skipped in really easy problems)->Writing Code in C++ on VS Code
