Codechef 4 ๐ŸŒŸ | How to become better in competitive programming| DSA for placements (Part-3)

Hi,
Hope you are doing well ๐Ÿ™‚.
I began coding in my 2nd year of my engineering.

I was not at all consistent ๐Ÿ˜” in the initial phase.

Later on I realised that , if you aspire for a good product based company and a ๐Ÿ’ฐ secure career, then you have to do programming ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ DSA.

Things to keep in mind before stepping into competitive programming

  1. Competitive programming is a sporting activity, don't judge yourself just belive in consistency

  2. Find a DSA Community Birds of the same feathers flock together. Don't find critics just find a good mate

  3. Stuck at 1 platform only. We usually make multiple IDs on platforms but that's very damaging thing. You give focus on one platform

  4. Never miss any competition every single day count

  5. STL, Greedy , DP are most asked so focus on mastering them.

  6. It's okay to discuss with your peers during the competition it gives you better learning experience

  7. *Practice from Geeks for Geek and Codeforces A2OJ *. Make a daily habit of practice

  8. Watch video solution after each contest

Do upvote :)
