• Let me first introduce to our coders group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1146117648755598/?fref=nf

Here, we share our doubts,problems.

Recently, Our group members had a chat and we made up a nice idea that would help every newbie to push up his preparation for ACM-ICPC.

We made list of all important topics for ACM-ICPC,and this is how it works:-

• Either 1 or 2 members of the group make contest on a particular topic(problems may be from different websites) which is divided into 2 days.
• First day problem set would be with easy,medium problems..
• Second day,it would be tough.
• Later after the contest,we discuss them in the group.

Fine,

This is how it is going to work.So,we would like to invite you for our first contest on the concept of binary search

Here is the link(day 1):- — https://www.hackerrank.com/codeforces-training-series-1-day-1-binary-search-tree

Here is the link(day-2): https://www.hackerrank.com/codeforces-training-series-1-day-2-binary-search-tree

Thanks, Happy coding.

Regards, codeforces training series.

Hi Coders :)-_

I wanna help all aspiring coders through this  "TRAINING SERIES" blog post.I will be posting problems from various sources topic wise along with clear cut hints,so that it would be easy for those who couldn't come up with AC solution.

         Also,Important resources,blogs would updated frequently in this post.Also,any kind of doubts to the problems which are to be posted in this post would be cleared with in 1-2 days.

        I hope this would help many coders.So,i want your support to continue updating this post with your UPVOTES.

         Thanks,,

        Hope you will support our work which is useful for many.

        "We will start updating this blog from this week."

Recently,I solved a problem.

This is one of my step in my solution:

ans=ans-(2*b*c[n]);

ans is double variable,b is integer,c[n] is double; my answer was judged wrong.

when i changed the step to

double p=2*b*c[i];
ans=ans-p;

My solution got ACCEPTED.Could anyone say,why this occur,so that it would be very helpful for future problems of this kind.

Thanks.

could any one post code for the followong question.

Hello sir/mam,

i am an aspirant for being a RED coder.i work hard.i just solve problems every day and learn concepts if needed.

          But,i want to know from successful coders,what are the resourses that are very useful to become RED coder,

         i mean,resoures like:

         1.Books
         2.Online courses.
         3.Any online resourses.

          Thank you,

          YOUR'S SINCERELY
          SANJAY.

hello, Recently i was solving this problem below: http://codeforces.net/contest/540/problem/E

I made a survey in my college.Many couldn't do it.I have shown them EDITORIAL too.But many couldn't understand how to solve that finally.Many were confused in a lot ways.

So,Today i request GUYS who solved this problem,to spare some time on this QUERY which would be useful for many students who are breaking their heads on this problem's logic.

Please spare time and post nice explaination with example,so that it would be more clear.

AND i REQUEST not to give DOWNVOTE this post,Because this post is REALLY USEFUL for many CODERS....Many get stuck in this kind of problems,,and due to (some not better explaination)..they skip that problem having good concept...

SO,GUYS PLEASE POST NICE EXPLAINATION FOR THIS PROBLEM,,,

NOTE:IT IS NOT NEEDED THAT YOU UPVOTE THIS POST(BUT DONT DOWN VOTE).......WE NEED TO LEARN CONCEPT...

THANKS IN ADVANCE....HOPE I WOULD SEE MANY REPLIES HELPING MANY CODERS WHO FEEL THIS CONCEPT HARD....

Recently,i was solving the following problem: http://codeforces.net/problemset/problem/540/E

the following is the solution i am trying to understand: http://ideone.com/cKjRNr

In the last loop of solution there are two terms,1 is to find difference of initial and final position of that element.

what about second term.according to editorial ,second term is to delete the inversions that were already counted.

so,could any one help how did we get "num[i]-i" as our second term,,whats the proof behind it..

pls help,thanks in advance.

SIR/MAM,'

TODAY I WAS SOLVING THIS QUESTION,,

HERE IS MY SUBMISSION.. >> http://codeforces.net/contest/199/submission/13427391 <<

good day sir, Today i was solving this problem,and got stuck,thinking what is the logic of the below problem.

https://www.codechef.com/KJCC2015/problems/WINNER


        could anyone please say logic for solvig this problem.thank you.

        thanks again..!!!

Sir/mam,

Today i wanna ask a question that many coders on CF might be thinking of.

   i am still a div-2 contestant.i solved not more than 2 problems for my last 7 contests.

   on averge i solve 2 problems in any contest.

   BUT HOW TO SOLVE 3 AND 4?

   I saw many coders who solve 3 and 4 always in every contest.even i wanna solve like them.

   so,today i ask this question to coders who solve more than 2 on an verage in every contest,

   that what extra-thing you did,or what was the way that made yourself to solve 3 easily everytime,

   and how should we appraoch to solve like you?

   I HOPE MNY CODERS  LIKE ME MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO SEE COMMENTS THAT HELPS A LOT.

   PLEASE REPLY.

   THANKS IN ADVANCE.

   please share some links,books etc,that you think that may be useful to crack 3.

   thanks in advance..........

could any one explain the logic for his problem.

i couldn't understand the editorial.

thanks in advance.

hello sir/mam,

i just started  learning graph theory from http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/3075  .

         i learnt dfs and bfs traversal.

         but ,i am still confused whether i am learning the things in right way one after other.


         could you pls say the steps or path or map for learning graph theory...

         i mean ,after traversal,which concpt should i learn.like that: :)

         ls provide some links for tutorials ,problems,,,,,,so that if a beginner could work out hard and master this concept.

thanks in advance.

https://www.codechef.com/LTIME16/problems/CHEFB

in this problem i am getting TLE whn n<=100000 and array size<=1000000

but when i removed memset and wrote that step normally by bruteforce ....i got AC........

what happened with that memset();

why?????????????????

this is my modified solution
