Google Code Jam 2020 1C Practice

[@gradientO]

Initially, I had no interest in competitive programming and these contests, etc. After watching your videos, I'm very interested in and signed up for a local code contest in our state

[@Errichto]

That's what I love to hear! Good luck!

[@lingcheng2971]

I postponed watching this video until after I solved the problems myself. It is good to see how you solved these problems so quick and without wasting failed submissions.

[@Errichto]

Good idea. You will understand the problem better (and thus the technique too) if you try to do it yourself first.

[@GGxEpsilon]

Dont screencast this year if you think it will impact your performance. Just an analysis video after each round will suffice. See you in the finals 👍🏻

[@zeta2530]

Good luck this year ❤️

[@nickbeats9883]

Wow, this is the first time I've tried to actually understand the problem with you, and understood it (almost half of it), you're great 👌👌

[@shaurya3976]

i believe you should make a thorough and updated video about how to start competitive programming and what to expect after some stages. ps. last one was great but this time you could add approximate stages or what to learn at this time

[@NadeemShaikh-ot8yl]

Since you started making vids on your main channel, I have a suggestion: "A day in the life of a full time Competitive Programmer"

[@Errichto]

Not anytime soon. I prefer to focus on educational videos, which will actually teach you stuff.

[@dontbemadsunshine]

im jealous of how good you are at coding

[@codex0717]

Literally even i am😅😬

[@coefficient1359]

But I'm happy, because he is teaching us and I learned a lot from him.

[@himanshuverkiya]

People don't even bother to reply low rated coders like me. You're the first person who does this. More power to you! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge ^ _ ^ #Respect

[@sushantkulkarni2004]

Waited for this video and you explain well just but sometimes I didn't understand but i now try compete in competitive program in codechef and leetcode . Keep doing 👍

i qualified, but now have to practice after watching you. Wish you will break streak of gennady.

[@araragikoyomi7186]

@@kellyguzman7679 very difficult

[@cpwithsundar]

@@kellyguzman7679 wow.....even i am waiting for the first person to beat Gennedy in Code jam. I want myself to be a part of code jam finals ,but sadly i have not even qualified the qualification round which says i am ultra NOOB in competitive programming. I want to be in finals but can't see it happening any day. Sad life

[@sabanadiradze520]

Yes, Yes I understand everything.

[@p4rzival127]

(I haven't finished the whole video yet...but wanted to say this) Would you make a video of how to do the Interactive Problems ....they just seem so long and bizzare that I didn't bother to attempt one in the qualifications round😅

[@shaurya3976]

Can I excel CP at age 21 when I am an electronics 2nd year student? Idk But I will surely start it because I was motivated by erichto and lex fridman

[@shaurya3976]

Not motivated but got to know and liked it very much

[@Errichto]

Sure you can. Unless by excelling you mean winning world championships in a few years - that might be hard to achieve :D the very top has years of experience but you can for sure aim for top 1%

[@shaurya3976]

@@Errichto I believe it's all about time management, how I would practice regularly

[@kgCode658]

unstoppable!

[@numeritos1799]

The video is very helpful but I actually didn't understand why Benford's Law would apply to random numbers. (This is used in problem B) Benford's law is usually seen in populations, stock prices, lengths of rivers, etc. But those are not actually random numbers. Maybe I missed something about the numbers not being actually random? Edit: Oh I see why this works now, M is not always a power of 10, therefore, the numbers are uniformly distributed, but the digits aren't. I still wouldn't say this is by Benford's law though

Damn it, I wish I knew how to delete comments.

[@maxwell4546]

Better. We can read this.

[@andrijaciric4661]

Why didn't you participate in the Codejam Round 1A. I can't see you on the leaderboard. Nevertheless, thanks for the videos.

Bro please do something like open website for tech people think about it

[@samdo1372]

Is there a reason to (in Code Jam) use printf, scanf, and char arrays instead of STL stuff?

[@Errichto]

They used to be faster than cin/cout. There is no difference nowadays.
