Beginning my CP journey
By SharanyaRMannan, history, 3 months ago, In English

Hi, I recently started with my CP journey and have been practicing Ques from A2oj Ladders. I have done most of the Dsa except some concepts of DP, Graphs and Greedy.

But still find it difficult to solve ques during contests.

Is there any roadmap that i can follow to ease my journey or topics that i must do to solve Problems A and B of Contests.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks

At this stage, you should do more and more basic math, implementation, greedy, brute force problems. In order to do this, you can go to codeforces problemset. Then, sort your problems by 800-800 rating and solve 40–60 problems in this rating range, until you get comfortable with this rating range. Afterwards, do the same with 900, 1000, 1100 rating, ... and so on. This will boost your problem solving skills, confidence, as well as rating. Good luck!
Note: While solving problems in a particular rating range, try to solve those problems that appeared in recent contests.
