Questions and answers:

  1. What is Codeforces? What kind of a site/resource is it?
    Codeforces is a project joining people interested in and taking part in programming contests. On one hand, Codeforces is a social network dedicated to programming and programming contests. On the other hand, it is a platform where contests are held regularly, the participant's skills are reflected by their rating and the former contests can be used to prepare. Codeforces constantly develops and we plan to improve the platform to give the participants the opportunity to organize their own contests, filling the project with learning content, developing Codeforces as a training and learning platform.
  2. What should I do to participate in contests? Is preliminary registration required?
    Contests are regularly held on Codeforces. Participating in them is free and open to everybody. Every month we organize approximately six contests. To participate, you have to be registered on the site (if you have an OpenID or a Gmail account, then you won't even have to memorize the password) and register for the oncoming contest. Make sure that you are present in the list of the users, registered for the contest, before the registration ends. Usually, if you can't take part in the contest officially (e.g. if it's the contest for the second division and you are in the first one), then you can register for the contest to participate out of competition.
  3. What are the rules of the contests?
    They are usually held according to the original Codeforces rules. If it is specially stated, then the International Collegiate Programming Contest rules ACM-ICPC or some other modifications can be used. In brief, on the contests held by Codeforces rules you write solutions to the problems that are tested during the contest on a very small number of tests. Those who have passed that set of solution tests, their authors can block (refuse to resend the solutions of this task in future even if they find a mistake). Such authors receive the opportunity to look through the sources of other contestants, look for mistakes there and suggest the tests on which these solutions do not work. Thus, you can hack somebody else's solution and earn points through it.
    After the contest all the solutions that have passed the pretests and haven't been hacked are tested on the final set of tests. The value of a task decreases during the contest (the faster you solve the problem, the more points you receive), unsuccessful hacks take off the points and the successful ones add them. Please take a look at the detailed version of the rules before participating in the contest.
  4. What languages can I use to solve problems here? Are there any problem solving examples?
  5. I would like to organize a Codeforces round with my problems. What should I do to achieve that? Are the authors entitled to get any reward?
    Do you want to organize a round? That's great! We are very pleased to hear that. Please, read the post.
  6. What other rules are on Codeforces?
    We don't have a clear Great Codeforces Code of Conduct. However, of course, here you should behave in accordance with traditional rules of behavior in public places and theme groups. The following rules are, of course, necessary to follow:
    • Don't create more than one account, if you have forgotten the password, use the password reminding system.
    • Do not use harsh, rude or misleading handle.
    • Do not use anybody photo except yours. It is uncultured and could confuse Codeforces users.
    • Don't be rude, don't insult other participants and administration, try to be polite and pleasant to communicate with.
    • When you take part in individual contests, don't talk about the problems with other contestants, don't use somebody else's code or insert it into your solutions. If the contest is a team one, discuss the tasks only with the teammates.
    • Don't try to destabilize the site's and the checking system's work. Your programs should only interact with the console (for the problems with the standard input and output) or the input and output data files.
    • Don't publish or spread your solutions and solution ideas during the contest.
  7. Which technical details are useful to know about the Codeforces' testing system?
    The Codeforces system resembles classical Online Judges. The solutions are tested on the tests prepared beforehand (or the hacks suggested by other participants). As a result, you receive verdicts, the meaning of which is clear from the title. It should be specially noted that Codeforces does not have the "Presentation Error" verdict, this situation is regarded as "Wrong Answer". All the suspicious verdicts (testing error etc.) are not considered while evaluating the results. That is also true for the solutions that had fallen on test 1 (in the problems containing more than one test).
  8. What are the rating and the divisions?
    When the contesters take part in Codeforces contest, they raise or lower their rating that reflects their ability to solve the tasks. The rating is a modification of Elo rating, several details can be read in a fuller form. According to the rating, the contestants are split into two divisions: the second one (the weaker one, amateurs) and the first one (the stronger one, pros). The contestants who don't take part in contests and those whose rating is below 1900 belong to the second division. The 1900+ rating means that you're part of the first division. Usually two types of contests are held on Codeforces: for the second division contestants (the first division contestants can take part there out of competition) and for both divisions. The first contest type contains simpler and learning-oriented tasks.
  9. What is contribution?
    The votes for the posts and comments of a user change his/her contribution. The contribution is intended to show the usefulness of the community user. The contribution counting system is imperfect; in future the rules for its calculation will be changed.
  10. What blog posts are useful to take a look at?
  11. I've noticed that the site contains the solutions of all the contestants and the previous contests' tests. How is it allowed to use them?
    In fact, we publish materials from the past contests and they can be used, for example, for individual lessons. Using the materials on other Online Judges, public contests, etc. is prohibited. Be sure to
    read the license before using the materials.
    In order to view someone else's solution, just click on his id on the page "Status". From the page with the list of tasks you can go to the list of correct decisions for the given task. At the bottom of the "Status" pages (and others with the lists of decisions) there is an option of sorting the solutions on different criteria.

Why is registration required?
I would like to register about 2-3 weeks ago, and I clicked on the register button, but I wasn't logged in, so Login window appeared and I logged in and after that I forgot to register, I thought I registered..Few hours later I started to solving the problems and after the first solved problem I realized I didn't register.. I know it's my problem, and my mistake.. So I just would like to know, any reason why registration is required? (example participate limit )

I have two problems. The first is where to complain about the problems with the site in general? Since I could not find a forum or a place to file my complaints I am writing it here in the FAQs. I don't know whether this has been brought up before or not, but those tags in the problems virtually make this site unusable for practice purposes. Most often knowing what method to use to solve a problem is half the solution and it is clearly right there for everyone to see! Can we make them hidden by default please (it should be shown only after a 'user action' like clicking an 'expand' button)?

    All your code must be in one .cpp file.

    It must read data from standart input (stdin).
    It must write data to standrat output (stdout).

    For example:


    #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    int a, b;
    cin >> a >> b;

    cout << a * b << endl;
}

    In your program you allocate an array b of length p, but then in b[(a[i]%t)] you access it as if it was an array of length t. This can fail if t > p.

Please let me know if this is not the right place to ask questions.

I have a question about virtual contests. Me and some of my friends are planning to compete on the previous div 2 rounds. As I understand, each of us will have to simulate the virtual contest individually and then compare our results. Is there a better way for this? I mean can we create a room or group and compete there such that leaderboard or scoreboard gets updated as would happen in a real contest? I hope I made my point clear.

Help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I am using C# but when I submit an answer that write a double value it is printed by using comma (,) instead of dot (.), resulting in WRONG_ANSWER. I use Console.WriteLine( a_double_var );

Any idea? For example, I got this when submitting #14827895:

Output
0,666666666666667
Answer
0.666667
Checker Log
wrong output format Expected double, but "0,666666666666667" found

    My submission finally got accepted after I changed the output statement to:

    Console.WriteLine ( my_double_var.ToString ( "F9", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture ) );

    It would be better if we don't have to specify the CultureInfo explicitly though.

I would like to see all the tests inputs for problem 608B (Hamming Distance Sum). I've just submitted a solution that fails on test number 9. However, when I inspect the statistics of my submission, input data for test 9 is incomplete (truncated).

Please, is there any option to get the testing data?

    Solution doesn't fit in an int. Use long long instead. You could have figured that out by looking at any other submission or by simply noticing that the correct answer for that case has 10 digits.

Do you think it should have passed the pretests? That created confusion. If the at that time the contest would have said that it is wrong on testcase 1. I might have corrected it.

i am requesting you to roll back my handle to previous one ' sirearsh '.

thankyou very much.

Problem B: String LCM (Round 102)

Need help in understanding the time complexity of this Algorithm which I applied. Please check this submission and help me in analyzing its time complexity. It would matter to me a lot.

    n=initial length of s

    m=initial length of t

    for each query, time complexity will be O(n*m)

    because loop will run till n and m become lcm(n,m) which in worst case will be n*m

      Thanks for replying!

      But I still have doubt.

      Lets consider this e.g. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, n = 20 bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, m = 19 LCM(s, t) = 20 * 19 = 380

      For this example. the while loop runs 37 times. After 37 iterations, it got n = m = 380. So I am wondering how running time is n*m. As we have seen that the while loop is running only 37 times so what can be generalized?

        You are not counting the time of concatenation of 2 strings.

        In each iteration you are adding two strings

Since this is the main FAQ in the website, it should probably be updated to reflect that people in the [1900-2100] range will be rated when participating in Div.2 contests and also mention Div.3 contests.

Also, it might be a good idea to provide that information to participants when they are registering for a contest ("this contest will be rated for you, as you have a rating < x").

    Well, MS C++ 2017 on Codeforces doesn't have that library.

    If you want to use it you have to change your submission languages to GNU C++11 or GNU C++14 or GNU C++17 or GNU C++17(64)

    Your submission were skipped by authore. because your solution matched with other's solution. (you and other user submited same source code) .This called cheating. That's why your rating didn't change.

Mr. MikeMirzayanov, good evening! It's only my personal opinion, I think problem analysis is essential part of each contest, since sometimes you can't figure out a problem, cause you don't know some algorithm or technique that could possibly be very useful. I suggest to make filter on GYM section — does contest include problem analysis or not. It would be much better than just clicking at every contest and checking it manually.

Is it possible to create a contest for the members of my team with level of problems B and C in them.

It is important for the members to not be able to see the solutions during the test.

Please help here or if there is some sort of FAQ, it will also be helpful.

    You can make a mash-up contest where you combine different problems from past codeforces rounds. If you want your problems to be truly original, in that case you can prepare them in polygon and add them to the contest.

To ask for clarification about ambiguities in contest statements or any specific rules, here are some steps you can try on platforms like Codeforces:

Check Contest Rules: Some contests have specific rules regarding clarification. Make sure you review the contest's instructions to see if there's an official way to ask questions. Use the Contest Clarification System: If the platform provides a built-in clarification request or chat option, use it to reach out to the contest administrators. Official Forum/Blog: Platforms like Codeforces often have blog posts or comment sections dedicated to each contest. Sometimes organizers or experienced users provide insights there. Profile Picture Guidelines: While platforms may suggest guidelines (e.g., a clear view of the user's face), the enforcement can vary. To avoid issues, follow the platform's recommendations closely. Search for Editorials and Resources: For editorials or guides, search using blog tags or categories specific to the platform, as many experienced users share resources through these posts. Following these guidelines can help you get the clarifications you need while staying within the platform’s norms and etiquette.
