First time!

I was reminiscing my first submissions on Codeforces and how much my coding style has changed since the last year. I am interested in hearing your stories about your coding style or the time when you started Codeforces!

I abandoned my whole template and now I write fully clean code.

    Have you observed any personal benefits or any improvement during problem solving after adopting a cleaner coding style?

      yeah, It is good for interviews. And I don't see any major benefits using templates other than just some seconds of time.

from clean code to ugly code.

from solving problem A in 1 hour 50 minutes to solve it in less than 5 minutes(my typing speed is not very fast so i dont solve it in less than 1-2 minutes)

From clean small codes to Ugly confusing code using multiple 100-200 line templates.

Instead of thinking about cases on paper,I now just write ugly if-else ladders. Speedforces whoooosh.

And as I am implementing my if-else ladders I come across 2-3 observations that would have saved me a lot of code.

I remember getting intimidated by variations of C++ submission languages.

      Yeah C++ Clang, GCC, G++ etc, I didn't know which one to pick.

        It happened to me too! I got compilation error by submitting my c++ solution in GCC. And it indeed took me a while to understand what was wrong.

my coding style sucks. Doesn't differ if it is from 2 years ago or from today.

    Do you obfuscate your code or do you actually code with that style?

      I actually code with that style. It is now easier for my eyes to read that code(I am not used to a lot of spaces. I've got used to compact mode)

        Wow, lol, what is your coding enviroment since a lot of the editors/IDE have auto-ident so I am guessing you either change your settings or code somewhere else?

        Have you stopped here or do you have plans of removing new line also?
