robell's blog

By robell, history, 3 years ago, In English

Wishlist from a newbie (Please excuse my ignorance if any of them are already available and I'm not aware of it — would be great if you can point it out in comments), Here it goes in no particular order of preference:

  1. Ability to get to my submissions for a particular problem on the problem page While looking at the problem. This would be helpful to quickly get to my previous submissions for a problem especially useful if I have lost any Local copy I had. I know I can wade through all my submissions to find it but it is Much faster this way.

  2. Tags for Blog entries seem to be available can we have the ability to search the blog entries by tags. Might be really easy to wade through the previous blog entries (Eg. for tutorials).

  3. Ability to Create Lists of problems. Particularly helpful for a newbie like me To revisit certain problems which I might have found interesting or for veterans To group and curate some problems which they could reference in their blog entry.

  4. Ability to attach notes to submissions (Must be editable even after the submission). This is particularly useful In detailing the approach that I took on a particular problem. While this could be put as comments in the code during a contest this is not feasible.

  5. Editorials button directly on the problem page (If they do exist). I know that editorials are exist after contest, But Post contest People would usually land on the problems directly and not via a contest.

  6. From the Problem Page the ability to view submissions from others (and sort it by speed and memory). This would be particularly helpful to see the approaches by others after you have submitted your solution to a problem.

  7. ITMO Academy: pilot course under EDU — Can this please be expanded to include more topics? Excellent content!

1st is there. 3rd, you can mark problems or blog in favorites. 5th, the editorial is present on the same page as the problem.

  1. Open the problem page, I believe that the last 10 submissions made by you are visible there (there's also an option to compare against previous submissions, something like showing differences in some version-control-like-format. Other than this, there's one more way, which will be covered in point 6.

  2. Not sure how well this works, but you could try a google search, filtering only for entries from "codeforces.com" and searching for the specific keywords. I've heard some people do this.

  3. We can mark problems/contests as favourites, in which case, they can be found in the favourites section.

  4. -

  5. I think they're available for most new problems (called 'Tutorial') on the lower right side of the page.

  6. This, this is gold. When you see the x12210 x113 x1320 etc, next to a problem, in the problem-set page or in contests, when you click it, you can see all the submissions for that problem, including TLEs, WAs, ACs, you can filter them by language, user, status (AC/WA etc) you can even mark which WA submissions you want to see, for example, if your submission failed on TestCase-13, you could check for others that also failed on it, then look for AC-submissions by those users to find the flaws. As a continuation of point 1, you can also apply your username as the filter to see all of your submissions for the problem. There are options to sort by execution time/ submission time(recent/old) and submission size as well.

For the 7th point, I thought nowadays pashka mainly uploads his lecture videos on youtube, you can check the videos via his blog entries.

In continuation to 4th point, hope to have a notes option while adding a problem to favourite.

This will be helpful to know why the problem was marked, for eg. precision errors, too many corner cases, many approaches for that problem and many more.
