Should I move countries?
By Idiotas, history, 2 months ago, In English

Hello,

I’m Kai and I live in Honolulu(Hawaii). Usually each contest in Hawaii starts at 4:35 am to 6:35 am. I think we can all agree that taking part of a contest is very hard because I even have school. In the end, I decided to move to Berlin(Germany) just to participate to more contests. Do you think this is a great idea?

    I lived in berlin. I recommend going to romania, CodeForces rounds are right after school ends.

    Here is a seg tree:


    #include <iostream>
#define int long long
using namespace std;
int aint[800005];
void update(int node, int st, int dr, int i, int val){
    if(st == dr){
        aint[node] = val;
        return;
    }
    int mid = (st+dr)/2;
    if(i <= mid)
        update(2*node+1, st, mid, i, val);
    else update(2*node+2, mid+1, dr, i, val);
    aint[node] = aint[2*node+1] + aint[2*node+2];
}
int query(int node, int st, int dr, int l, int r){
    if(st == l && dr == r){
        return aint[node];
    }
    int mid = (st+dr)/2, sum=0;
    if(l <= mid)
        sum += query(2*node+1, st, mid, l, min(r, mid));
    if(r > mid)
        sum += query(2*node+2, mid+1, dr, max(l, mid+1), r);
    return sum;
}
int32_t main(){
    int n, q;
    cin>>n>>q;
    for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
        int a;
        cin>>a;
        update(0, 0, n-1, i, a);
    }
    for(int i=0; i<q; i++){
        int cer, a, b;
        cin>>cer>>a>>b;
        if(cer == 1)
            update(0, 0, n-1, a-1, b);
        else cout<<query(0, 0, n-1, a-1, b-1)<<endl;
    }
}

      Since you thought it is a good idea to post that: this implementation is an abomination, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Only if you are very certain you can assert the same financial stability.

Despite this almost obviously being a troll post, here goes.

No. At the very least if you care about competing seriously, where rating is involved, at least get to a point where you're beyond the cheater wall (Maybe 1900+ would be good enough usually?), otherwise, you'll just be cross. If you don't care about ratings, just give virtuals for now, and give the occasional contest on weekends.

Also, I read something about normal contest timings changing or whatnot pretty soon, so keep that in mind as well.

After moving to US for college, I have to admit that I miss Germany. Codeforces rounds were at 4:35 pm there, but now it's 6:35 am.

Lucky me never had that problem, contests start at 8:20 p.m for me.

Here's my advice. If you're moving to another continent, your decision should not be based solely off of Codeforces.
