Tutorial!!!
By PAP, 11 years ago, In English

Hi!
I think codeforces tutorials are not good in the time of publishing and in performance too
Many people will always wait a lot after each contest for the tutorial.
But when the tutorial comes out it's incomplete.
It'd be better if there was a template or something like that for tutorials.

Actually, I think topcoder has worked better in preparing tutorials!
A template is necessary for codeforces, too.

I don't agree with you about the time and performance but of course it'd be better if there was an constant model.

I think the tutorial should be written before the contest together with the problems,sometimes when the contests are over,the writters maybe lazy to add tutorial.

    you are right , after the contest is the best to solve problems. Perhaps there is no desire to wake up after

And what kind of template for tutorial do you keep in mind when writing this? TopCoder has templates because their editorials contain per-problem statistics (% of passed solutions, fastest solution time etc.) — these are easier generated automatically than gathered by the writer. Codeforces editorials don't have this information, so the only part which could be generated automatically is the headers with links to the problems — and this doesn't save the writer a lot of effort. Explanations of solutions can not be templatized.
