Hello there!

I want to know is really Codeforces pupil is just a pupil in programming?

I know guys who learnt many algorithms and how to use them but they are stuck between specialist and pupil. And even sometimes they are stuck just in pupil so I just wonder.

I found this blog: Link

And I think it's more accurate than current titles cuz get 1000 in codeforces not that easy and a beginner who just entered the programming field can't get it.

Edit Note: I know long test case is important to determine if the complexity of the code fits or not. But why putting it in the second testcase it's better to put many test cases first that test the logic of the code then put the case of timelimit.

Before putting downvote explain why in comments, please.

In the last rounds while the contest I tried to solve problems got some accepted and couldn't solve the other some. That's normal soo normal.

So after the contest I go trying to upsolve the problems I couldn't solve. First I tried by myself then see the test cases and last thing is to see the editorial of the round. So when I saw the solution of editorial I been surprised with a different solution that has no connection with mine! So I don't know if my solution can get accepted or not!

This is really disappointing especially for beginners like me..

The testcase I talk about:

First thing I really appreciate he(beethoven97) makes the tests stronger and rearrange the standing correctly.

I just wonder how do he do it?

If you want to practice online contests and participate in a lot of them but you don't find a good contests to enter.

So I think this website will help you:

Note: if you don't trust the link just search by "Clist" on any search engine and you will find it.

It's direct and so clear and organized will to see all events of competitive programming. And some of the contests are for interview or get hiring in a good job.
