Hey CodeForces,
27th July 2024 that's yesterday marked another exciting contest for me, Codeforces Round 962 (Div. 3). I later found out that it was unrated, but I remained determined to give it my best. I managed to solve three problems: A — Legs, B — Scale, and C — Sort.
For each problem, I made sure to thoroughly think through the solution and read the problem statement carefully, aiming to avoid the need to re-read. This strategy helped streamline my approach. However, I encountered a Time Limit Exceeded (TLE) issue with problem C — Sort when using a map approach. To overcome this, I switched to a prefix sum approach, which worked and allowed me to solve the problem successfully.
The contest was an enjoyable experience, and I had a lot of fun tackling the problems and finding solutions. It gave me a boost of confidence to solve more quality questions and participate in future contests. I'm eager to continue improving and honing my skills in competitive programming.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
Sincerely,
Mickeey
Don't worry. It is rated. For Div. 4, Div. 3 and edu rounds, all submissions are rejudged after a 12-hour open hacking phase, then the ratings will be updated.
Thank you for clarifying! I wasn't aware of the rejudging process for these rounds. I'll keep that in mind for future contests. Looking forward to seeing the final results!
Congratulations.I am sure that this competition is rated.
Thankyou so much
