We will hold Next DP Contest on AtCoder.

• Contest URL: https://atcoder.jp/contests/ndpc
• Start Time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20260505T1300&p1=248
• Duration: 300 minutes
• Number of Problems: 20 problems

This contest is a collection of practice problems on dynamic programming (DP). DP is one of the most important algorithms in competitive programming because of its high versatility and wide variety of applications. Therefore, studying DP is essential for gaining a deeper understanding of competitive programming. In the past, contests such as TDPC(Japanese language only) and EDPC were held for the purpose of practicing DP.

On the other hand, as time goes by, techniques become more diverse and more widely used. Now, 12 years after TDPC and 7 years after EDPC, DP techniques that did not appear in those contests have started to show up in contests, especially in ABC and ARC. This contest focuses mainly on techniques that were not covered in TDPC or EDPC. We hope you will use it both to test your skills during the contest and to review afterward.

We are looking forward to your participation!
