those problems are pretty difficult even if they are low rated.
higher rated ones are looking very crazy, with I can't imagine what type of person even solves this. (above 2000)
who is even using that website, those people who go to math olimpiads? what is the target audience?
16 year old prodigies, what whole personality is math and coding?
this website really has this vibe, be very smart or get lost.
Best of the best of the best, sir! With honors.
Makes me feel dumb
same, bro
You cannot imagine how many times this has been asked, but I understand your frustration. Neither is this hardcore, nor is the problem you. It just takes grinding of two sciences, very frustrating, difficult, painful, but in the end rewarding sciences: maths, and coding. You have to be able to do both whatever division you are looking at. Sometimes maths will be more important, sometimes coding will.
By being able to do maths I mean you should be willing to think about new ideas. You should be willing to try new, unknown problems, for considerable amount of time. You should ideally try a problem you really like for several evenings, and a problem you don't like for at least half an hour (but uninterrupted). This is the maths part.
In the end, after you run out of ideas, you should be willing to read the editorial, and then try to implement whatever is in the editorial. This is the coding part.
This is the answer to your main question, but there is another one you asked: "what whole personality is math and coding?" Look at my answer above and tell me :) On a serious note, the vibe of "be very smart or get lost" will vanish once you discover your inner curiousity and start enjoying the littlest bits you get right, and the littlest bits of solution you can come up on your own with.
Its only hard because you just started.
Grind hard or die trying
lmao see my profile :)
you have a lot of experience
I started on this website having a hard time even understanding what some of the problems meant.
all problems are trivial now stop spamming blogs and go and solve some problems :D
At the beginning, it seems like learning a new language when you suddenly migrate to an island, talking in that language. You see even a small kid talking in their language, but you can't understand anything, you can't speak anything.
But you need to keep calm. Watch people who are talking. Learn easy words: water, fire, I, you, he, she. Then start understanding words. After a few months, you can start speaking. That's how you learned your native language when you were a newborn, with your tiny brain at that time.
Learning competitive programming is a very gentle process. Keep calm and solve problems.
its all practice
we all are retard in one way or other
