Hi , My Son is in 5th Std . He is really good in Maths also can solve small programs available on coding sites for kids . Based on his interest I would like him to go for IOI in future . How should we start about same ? Whether he should learn C or Python ? Whether there are any sites which can help kids to understand algorithms ? Please help . Your guidance on same is highly appreciable

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...

This is a playbook that takes you from basic C++ programming to a Gold medal at IOI. Popular features of the playlist are as follows:

• Tutorials use intuitive videos and animations to explain the main idea, and thereafter go into further depth.
• All problems have been taken from previous...

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...

The syllabus has been changed now I guess. I give the link to the new syllabus; Strings and Graphs have had additions I guess.
