What is your favourite question that u have ever solved uptil now?

TOP 10 ALGORITHMS that are your all-time favourites?And which define "SUMEET VARMA"?

TOP 10 ALGORITHMS ACCORDING TO YOU WITHOUT WHICH,IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXCEL IN CP?

If I want to make it to ACM-ICPC ,What are the top 10 "MUST-KNOW-THINGS" in Competitive Programming?

Thanks for the Q&A. And my heartiest congratulations for the World Finals!!!

My question to you is-

I am not able to perform in any of the contests. and in CF DIV-2 Problems It is difficult for me to get beyond B,C seems difficult,I am unaware of the necessary algorithms that would take me to the purple,

I AM LOSING FAITH IN MYSELF BECAUSE OF MY PERFORMANCE..YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME THE WAY AS TO HOW TO PRACTICE? WHAT ARE THE "MUST-KNOW-IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE CF" ALGORITHMS???WHAT SHOULD MY PATTERN OF CODING TO REACH DIV-2 C WHICH MANY PEOPLE FIND UTTERLY EASY TO SOLVE?

I am not going to give up this easily and I request you to show me any way because right now I am clueless.

Thanks for the Q&A. And my heartiest congratulations for the World Finals!!!

My question to you is -

If I ask you what are the top 5 algorithms that I need to master on in-order to be the purple in CF, what would those be?

I mean what are top 5 most important algorithms?

Thanks for the Q&A first of all...And also Congrats for all your achievements so far.

My question to you is ---While solving any problem,I see the type of question and Once I see that I haven't solved this sort of problem before,I jump on to the solution and see the whole code.

Many friends have criticized me for doing it.And even I think this to be evil sometimes but I take it some other way.I believe that I am still at a learning stage And so I have to see different types of codes to enhance my skills, and after all I am the one who will solve the problem if I meet the same type of problem again on the way.

Is it a good habit??(I am not sure if I should ask that silly ques).

Are all the algorithms important like Centroid decomposition,Mo's..etc or

May be I am not aware of them just because I do not solve much harder problems...Seriously Is every algo important to master?

If not, what are the most important ones?

I Can't solve problems on DP+Bitmasking and also I can't find any suitable article to help me out.What do i do?I really need some article ,I mean explanation of any solved problem.How did you go about dynamic programming problems at first..did u stumble?How do you overcome the difficulties you face?

I really am a big fan of yours and can't wait to get an answer from you on a question that is troubling me for the last few weeks.I am very much fond of CP but I think i am slower than most of the guys out there.I spend much time in problem solving in maths(i.e paper and pen on topics like P&C,Probability etc and totally love it).I am into coding and so I want to pursue M.Tech in a good college like any of the I.I.T's.And keep this CP alive in me.That way,I ll get more time so as to showcase my Coding skills in interviews.Currently ,I am in my 4th sem,Comp Sci. and Engg.I really want answers .............Please answer my question.
