Having a hard time to understand the editorials.
Автор jedi21, история, 3 года назад, По-английски

I've been doing CP for the past few months now. As soon as I felt comfortable in solving A, B problems from div3 and div2 categories, I shifted to C, D problems. While solving A, B I never read editorials as those problems were quite easy. But now I started reading them and never quite understand the approach followed and the solution code. What should I do?

You can go in the comments and look for someone asking for help with the problem you're struggling with. If you don't find an answer in the comments and it's a recent round, you can post a comment yourself asking for a more detailed explanation regarding a certain problem. Make sure to be as specific as possible regarding your doubts and what you understand so that its easier for someone to answer your question.

I also used to be like this. Editorials were too much complicated to understand. I asked some of my friends and got some advice.

Whenever you practice problems, even if you solve the problem try to look at the editorials of those problems too. It is useful because

  1. You already know the possible way to solve it. So even if the editorial is slightly different you'll understand

  2. Sometimes the method we solve the problems are may not be optimal, in editorials you can even get better methods.

  3. And in the comment section there are so many people like us, who share their idea, so you might also understand from that.
