What to do if you know algorithms but can't solve problems
By Jaserdy, history, 20 months ago, In English

Hello everyone, I've been doing sports programming for about six months. I study various basic algorithms like Binary search, DP, two pointers, etc., I write in C++, I do mathematics in depth. Can someone tell me what to do if the problems at the Olympiads and various contests don't work out anyway, is it somehow related to mathematical logic, I'm just studying Olympiad mathematics in parallel, there are the same problems. Thank you in advance!

Provide ur real id. So that one can understand what mistake you did while solving. If its ur real id then I guess you've practiced less. Do some more practice. Algorithms are interesting when you get the feel of need of the algorithm. And also give as many contests as you can. Hope this helped.

Div2 ABC mostly require logical skills than algorithms to solve them, just don’t give up and train more. Its also important to learn to type fast. Good luck

Did you actually make effort when doing contest or you just do contest for like 30 minutes; when you face a new problem, you give up and call it a day; after contest you don't upsolve? :D.
