Is Java a disadvantage at IOI?

This is a 100+ part playbook that takes you from basic C++ programming to a Gold medal at IOI. It has tutorials on 30+ algorithms and data structures, and 75+ problems based on those topics, sorted by increasing difficulty.

So as you may/may not know I am preparing for INOI and I don't pay a bit of attention in the bad place called school. Can some one give me a doct file or something that I can print out and then read in the school.

This playlist covers the required amount of C++ / Java / Python knowledge you need for programming contests such as Olympiad in Informatics, CodeChef, Codeforces, etc.

Expected time to completion: 5-10 sessions.

The programming language topics covered are input-ou...

I just started learning C++

I am a quick learner, but I am unable to find good resources for self-learning.

Therefore, I am looking for a good mentor for guiding me.

This discussion is for expanding your array of maneuvers needed to code quickly and efficiently.

STL:

The first and most important thing that I'd like to discuss about is the C++ STL. Learning it would enable you to code up an assortment of algorithms and complicated data structures in a matter of seconds.

You can learn to use the C++ STL from the following amazing sites:

Studytonight : Contains syntax and examples for most of the STL containers and algorithms.

Sanfoundry : Shows how to implement what you've learnt in complete programs

Topcoder(Highly recommended) : This place teaches yo...
