Im honestly more impressed that it is even humanly possible to read and fully understand an abstract problem this fast

[@bakerhalt]

I'm gonna go on a limb here as someone who barely knows anything about programming, but i think he has encountered similar types of problems, a lot of the text in the question is irrelevant and probably the input and a few of the > N whatever they are the only important bits to fix the problem. Compare it to math: "Adam has two buckets full of newly picked apples . One bucket has 32 apples, the second bucket has 41 apples, how many apples does he have in total?" Notice how the first part is totally irrelevant "Adam has two buckets full of newly picked apples", you can still solve the problem without even reading that part. And i think it's the same thing here, just fill in the gaps as you go.

[@Jesse-wp1td]

@@bakerhalt Exactly. Just like the SATs in high school. I always tell my students to analyze the similarities of sentence structures in math word problems to solve them even quicker by familiarization.

[@dudaseifert]

mostly pattern recognition and algorithm training. you can guess what the question wants without reading everything, through looking at the input description and the input itself. i sometimes do challenges where you're supposed to answer the question by only looking at the input

[@Kreze202]

@@bakerhalt It's only my second year in Computer Science, but what you're saying is true. I'm not even half as good as this guy is, but when you've done a lot of practice and tried to solve a lot of different types of problems, you can pretty much look at a problem at a glance and think that "Oh, this is a knapsack problem, I have to use dynamic programming on this one" for example. And then after that your memory and understanding of the solution of the problem kinda takes over, and all that matters is how the problem gives you the input and how they want you to give them the output.

[@QWERTY-gp8fd]

@@nicotinedealer7653 whats the difference.

[@nicotinedealer7653]

@@QWERTY-gp8fd competitive programming deals with coming up with algorithmic solutions to problems concerning discrete mathematics. Development is the act of creating any product (software, website, mobile app etc). Of course, development is not entirely independent of algorithms but the crux of development is knowing how to use languages, frameworks, APIs etc. to create something, while in cp, we use the programming language as a means to express our solution for the problem. In my personal experience, I've used stack overflow entirely to help fix bugs while using a language, framework, editor, compiler etc. You can check out codeforces, cp algorithms, gfg etc. to help with cp.

wow, he actually breaks the stereotype using this edgy theme, I would never expect someone with a browser theme like this to code even at a decent level

[@engine_man]

I don't think anyone's aesthetic preferences have anything to do with their cognitive ability. The ones who care what theme people are using are usually the ones who don't know how to code properly since they still have enough attention left to focus on what themes people are using rather than why their code is poorly optimised.

[@ItzMeKarizma]

@@engine_man Or maybe people like you just can't take a joke. For God's sake don't post shitty comments like this, he's obviously joking bcs most of the people that have this type of themes are Edgy Kids trying to show off as hackers while they can't even power on their pc. Think before replying.

[@engine_man]

@@ItzMeKarizma if you thought before typing you would consider what kind of video you're on before making jokes about edgy themes. This isn't your second year college class and as Humor is subjective; we don't all have to find the same things funny, and I found the joke was in poor taste. So I'd also urge you to think thoroughly before going out of your way to reply next time.

[@abdullahibrahimhassan7301]

@@aybay8723 exactly what he is done is very impressive but not impossible for a normal person around 2 years will get you pretty close to him. I am studying IT engineering, although I can't do all of them in such a short term, maybe half in double the time but its been like 1 year since i started.

[@jalsol]

@@abdullahibrahimhassan7301 that's an exaggeration. The problems given there cannot be solved by a normal person practiced for 2 years. I'll even give you 10 years and you'll never be close to him (you can be very good nonetheless, but not close to him). You'll probably understand the syntax, but not the algorithm, and how one person can quickly come up with one.

[@jalsol]

This guy won a gold medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics, with absolute score 600/600. 2 years of practice alone won't get you remotely close to this guy. You need talent, too.

[@jonny6702]

​@@jalsol I agree. I started when I was 10. By the time I was 13 I was creating complex algorithms similar to these. I never studied math in school, I learned it from expanding my programming knowledge. Now I have a career in server solutions for video games, and video game development. I credit my ability to shear talent and luck; it's what I'm best at in life and it was the only thing I exceeded in as a child. I've done programming lessons before (not even complex algorithm crunching like this, just medium-tier syntax) and had fully grown adults struggle to pick up basic syntax in 6 months time. I believe it takes a certain type of critical analytical thinker to be able to excel in the manor this guy does. He's got far better math skills than I could ever have, I could never do this in 30 minutes.
