Online judge with best editorials?
By mug, history, 8 years ago, In English

Maybe it's just me but sometimes codeforces editorials aren't the best they could be at times, especially in some of the older contest. As a beginner, this makes it slightly difficult to practice. I haven't tried any other cp websites like code chef or topcoder. Are their editorials any better?

You can comment on the editorial of CodeForces.. asking for some other approaches to a problem :) Maybe someone will give better approach that the editorial.

It's just you! :v Most of the editorials seem to be well worked out by problem setters with quite an effort. Personally, I feel CF has better editorials then other CP sites.

    Other CP sites? Oh dear... I hope you don't mean what I'm afraid you mean... (hint, it's illegal)

Some old Topcoder editorials were quite detailed, especially the ones written by vexorian. There are also forums, https://apps.topcoder.com/forums/?module=Category&categoryID=14, which used to be quite active in the distant past, so it is possible to find good info for old matches there. Sadly, topcoder has become somewhat challenging to use, and sometimes a few months pass before an editorial appears.

Editorials on codechef are pretty good. The most detailed i think .

I recommend you to try a relatively new computer science platform — https://csacademy.com. I find their editorials really useful. Moreover, they are published immediately after the contest is over. Just give it a try :)
