How to start practicing coding problems?

Here’s my strategy to improve coding skills outside of class and work:

1. Practice online.
2. Read code written by someone else.
3. Try out different ways to do the same thing.
4. Put your code through a debugger.
5. Take an online course.
6. Use open source software.
7. Join a team.

How to begin competitive programming Codeforces?

Try finishing the first 3-4 pages of this^ to get a hang of competitive coding. Start from square 1, build up your confidence, start from the most solved, and keep going. Generally, ‘A’ problems would be the easiest, followed by B, C, and D . P.S. Remember, you’re in Div2.

Is Topcoder good for beginners?

Topcoder competitive programming is a widely popular platform for competitive programming. It is one of the best coding practice sites for beginners that offer a lot of algorithmic challenges that you can complete on your own using their code editor tool.

How does HackerEarth detect cheating?

Using a webcam, the HackerEarth platform takes regular snapshots of the candidate during a test. A thumbnail preview of the webcam is displayed on the bottom right of the screen to indicate that candidates are being monitored.

Is codeforces a beginner?

Codeforces is one of the best platforms for competitive coding and is usually known for its short challenges/contests where programmers from every corner of the world participate. Here you can practice problems from very beginner level to very advanced level.

Why solve Project Euler problems?

I solve Project Euler problems to practice and extend my math and program­ming skills, all while having fun at the same time. Here I make my solutions publicly available for other enthusiasts to learn from and to critique.

Is Project Euler a good place to start learning Python programming?

Instead, I’d recommend starting on a coding challenge site better suited for beginners first (something like edabit). Once you feel comfortable with the fundamentals (control flow statements, data structures, recursion), Project Euler is a great place to continue learning. I experienced this myself when I started learning Python.

What programming languages do you use to solve math problems?

Many Python solutions depend on my shared math library module: eulerlib.py. Many Haskell solutions depend on my shared math library module: EulerLib.hs. Some solution code contains a detailed mathematical proof of correctness. For every problem that I solved, I have a Java solution for it (and possibly code in other languages as well).
