Hello! I have been coding in c++ for a year. I am studying A-level and I want to prepare for IOI. But I realised that i have to take part in NOI(national olympiad of informatics). So, how to prepare for regional and national level?

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...

Hey there! I’m Sumeet Varma. I am extremely interested in Algorithms and Data Structures and so I do a lot of competitive programming. I am also a big fan of Counter-Strike, Politics and reading random answers on Quora.

My team (FruitSalad) came 1st in ACM ICPC ‘17 Kharagpur Regionals, 2nd in Kolkata Regionals and 7th in India Finals and we have qualified for World Finals. Also, I have been Red on Codeforces and the highest rated Indian programmer on Codeforces, Hackerrank and Topcoder in the past.

Currently, I am doing an internship at Directi (Bangalore) as a part of my project for final semester at DA-IICT, Gandhinagar.

Ask me anything!

Moderator note: We are very excited to host Sumeet for a Q&A session! He has a max rating of 2515 on Codeforces and 2173 on TopCoder, and you can see the graph going up consistently over the last 2.5 years. It's time to find out more about the person behind ...

Can I give 2022 indian computing olympiad if i am studying in 12th std during 2021-2022 academic year

Hello everyone,

I am Suyash Purwar and I belong from Etawah, U.P. I am currently in the 11th standard. I started programming in 8th standard and since then I'm indulged in learning programming (but not competitive programming). I have 3 years of experience in full-stack web app development and also mobile app development. I'm also quite a blogger and I have published blogs on JavaScript and web app development tools in the past.

Recently, I've got an interest in AI, ML and especially Computational Neuroscience. I am willing to pursue a bachelor's degree in Computational Neuroscience in the following years. My ambition is to solve the mysteries of the world's most complex machinery, our brain and to develop a system that mimics the functioning of our brain. In short, my ambition is to develop AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and as Demis Hassabis and other AI and Neuroscience practitioners have said unlocking the mysteries of our brain is a way to do that.

I am here not with the sole motive of winning Gold M...

I am looking for a good discrete mathematics course. I know of ArsDigita's course #02 Discrete Mathematics and CS70 by UCB only.

Which is the best course for a beginner?
